Me and a wee fish

What the heck is that? A brown trout mated with a gar?

Just a little pike.

Just a little pike.

Is that Finland? I'm don't think anyone around here is catching anything like that. Google says they live in more northern latitudes.

Yep, I am in Finland.

Here is another one.

You can catch them in MN also

 

[Catfish78]

The northern parts of the states, and Canada have loads of them. I have caught them in ND, MN, WI, IL, MA, VT and MI.

You can't throw a line in the water in Northern NY without catching a nice pike. My biggest one was 40 inches! I caught it with my dad when I was about 11 years old, unfortunately we didn't weigh it.

Since we're posting fishing pic, here me fighting a tarpon

Fishing? Just over a year ago off of Hatteras on the Godspeed. I'm on the right. Center is the first mate. On the left is my former boss that took me and a couple other guys.

 

[jeepinjeepin]

We did ok.

Last year, Everglades.

 

[HoppyDaze]

Anyone can catch a fish in the ocean! try the elusive spring chinook on the willamette ...

 

[jeepinjeepin]

Yeah, but there isn't much like getting 4 rods nailed one after another, struggling to get them in, fish off, bait on, line out for as long as you can stay in the school.

For sure! We have tuna days where all the rods are down and the hand lines. Makes for a bloody boat!

Yup, they took a 366 lb bluefin the other day. He posts photos from every day fishing no matter if it was 2 dolphin or a monster tuna or marlin. I hope to afford a trip with him one day.

Nope the absolute best fishing in the world is when you fish a beer out of the cooler

You have a valid argument

It's been a few years since we caught steelhead that big hoppy. Used my surf rod & a big spinning real. Need a bigger real for this &*^%^#$!@#$%^ shovelhead that kept taking our rigs in the western basin of Lake Erie though...:rockin:

Hubby and his friend caught a shark once, lucky I was in a different boat. Wish we got pictures, his friend almost got bit and someone had to sit on the cooler the rest of the day to keep it in there. They did try to knock it in the head to kill it, but that's how the bite almost happened. Later they dumped it on the ground from the big cooler and waited for it to stop moving. We ate it and it was good.

That's why we always kept a large club and a gun on the boat. It made handling shark a lot easier especially if they had any size to them.

Man... that dude in the video was just ASKIN' for it! Who in their right mind sticks their hand that close to a shark's mouth?

 

[jeepinjeepin]

If ya gonna play with a shark ain't ya supposed to bring him on deck and straddle him and pin his head with both hands? Obviously not a good idea though with one big enough to move you.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

The only critters with large teeth I play with wag their tails when they see me.

Hehe so many jokes and so little time

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Sometimes I pitch underhand and see who swings the bat.

Stradling a shark isn't a good idea,their skin is like course sandpaper.

I knew this because the best Japanese restaurants in New York use a sharkskin grater to grate their wasabi. That's pretty coarse!

I learned about Shark Skin Sandpaper the hard way. We were fishing off the coast out of Virginia Beach in July, 1982. I caught my first shark ever, about a 5' Dusky Shark, I was standing in the stern with the shark on a gaff while my buddy snapped a picture. The boat took a bad roll off the swells and I fell to my butt on the transom and the shark slid backwards down my right leg, sanded the skin right off from the bottom of my shorts to just below my knee. Between the hot sun, the salt spray and everything else, my leg was killing me, we kept pouring cold Michelob (25cents a can on base at that time) on it and covering it with a damp towel.
