Fishing!

[HarborTownBrewing]

We should do smallest fish ever caught. Here's mine, he's a beauty!

When my cousin was younger, he caught a tiny bluegill like that. Being about 12 years old and bored, he tossed the lure with the bluegill still on it back into the water. And he catches a huge Walleye.

A couple nice fallfish and redbreast sunfish caught on the Patuxent River this evening. The big fallfish (first picture) was probably about 10" long and fought like a horse! Definitely my personal best but I hope to catch a bigger one soon. I ended up catching 13 fallfish and 6 redbreast in total.

Gotta love catching monsters in 40 degree water!

Back in 2014, I was trolling from my brother's 29' sailboat on Lake Erie... I think I caught ONE lousy rock bass. We weren't sure if it was in season or not, so we tossed it back. He, on the other hand, kept catching sheepshead. Not good for eating, but MAN they put up a fight.

Don't know if Lake Erie Sheepshead are the same as salt water ones but the salt water ones are GREAT for eating.......

I used to fish a lot in the 60's and 70's. You could catch a few to a lot every time you went. Then in the 80's it got really hard to catch anything. For the 90's, 00's and 10-15 I did very little fishing. I hate standing on the bank casting my line in the water all day and only catching seaweed......

Last summer I decided to go for Stripers or Blues. I caught one snapper blue, about 6 or 7 inches and snagged another before the cold weather shut me down. Hope I catch at least one keeper this year.......

Went down to Lake Hodges this morning. There was an algae bloom and the bass weren't biting. Talked to a couple other anglers and it seems nobody caught nothin. Oh well, better a morning on the water than... damn near anything.

Rock bass have always been non-seasonal here. Too much commercial over-fishing on Lake Erie! Gotta go out into the shipping lanes for big white bass any more. Too many sheephead, although the smaller, say, 15-20" ones are better eating. My older sis can cook them so well, you wouldn't know what they were if she didn't tell you! Wife & I wanna get out, catch a bunch of sheephead of varying sizes & try a couple cooking ideas we have to make them easy to cook & palatable.

I've been out probably 7 -8 times this season (mostly in short 1 hour stints), and have been skunked every time. But it's still too early really. But today I'm going to try a place that was actually stocked.

Planning a trip with friends to take my sons Trout fishing in Arkansas this May. Can't wait.

My fishing kayak I built... sadly havent had it out this year yet

 

[arturo7]

That thing is a beauty!

 

[MarshmallowBlue]

Smooth like butter.

 

[FloppyKnockers]

Caught this guy today..

...then just about when I was about to call it a day I got lucky!

...so I stuck around to see if I could get lucky again.... Had to throw it back.

Nice job, man! Beautiful!

Trout season for me starts in one week. I can't wait! Already got the fly rod out and ready to go.

I've been out fishing 3 or 4 times so far this season for inland trout. Only been successful at a local stream that gets stocked with rainbow trout. My buddy got the only brown trout last weekend at our usual spot an hour and change away.

The walleye run is going well here in Michigan. Jigging is the preferred method.





Drenched in an egg and homebrew solution then heavily dusted with a Drake's and Panko dry mixture. This makes freezing on the river worthwhile!

 

[MarshmallowBlue]

Went out Saturday, and My brother in law caught 5 browns. Photos to come.

First day of trout season for me today. Didn't get a bite BUT I did make some new friends.

They may be huge but the suckers snuck up on me. I didn't even know they were there until I heard something breathing and found about 20 of these staring at me.

Let the fish grow! I am sure that is steak you are looking at I know what I would rather eat. OK I am talking sh t.

Today at the pond where my grandpa lives. My 2 y/o gets jazzed when a fish is caught. Only had about 20 minutes to make a few casts and hooked two.

Ayup', start em' young ...

 

[MarshmallowBlue]

Apparently this bass fishing thing is fun. I'm going to put more effort in to catch a bass this year.

I'd say the guy on the left looks even more jazzed ;-)

The kid definitely feeds off his pops emotions. I could walk the bank of a pond with a cold beer and catch those 12-14" bass all day long. If you think that is me jazzed on fishing you should see me when I pull in a 25lb salmon or 6 foot sturgeon.

First day fishing as the weather is getting nice, 3 pikes, 2 edible ones at 1 kg and 3 kg, third one released as it was too small.

Here's some fun footage about the lake I fish in, helped one of the divers out, driving the boat.

 

[MarshmallowBlue]

I saw a few beavers last weekend, I have a short video of it swimming underwater but it's nothing worth sharing really.

 

[Terek]

got my 7th tag out of arrowrock in idaho on sat.

 

[arturo7]

That's a weird looking fish. Seems that it has the wrong head.
