Hunting & Fishing Anybody big fishers?

[Bigbrotheretter]

During the whole summer i have gone every year to Minnesota. Out to the flatland. Not many big towns. Lots of lakes to fish though!
Last year, we caught a good amount of Largies. (largemouth bass.) and a very nice stock of Northern Pike!
Anyone else big fishers?

This is about half the bass we kept. Thats in one day. Cant tell you lake or area sorry.

i used to be, and enjoyed it very much, but one day during trout season when a bunch of grown men nearly tackled me to get my spot cause i was catching them, i called it quits. haven't touched a rod (other than getting my kid's first fish 2 years ago) in about 16 years.

i'm primarily interested in putting time into stuff with legs. i figure if i put a worm on a hook and wait, i'll catch something eventually.

not knocking fishing, just 2 cents.

Re: Anybody big fishers?

Yea people go nuts about trout fishing... I think its a little boring becuase you just sit there and there is no realing involved... But i know what you mean! People go crazy over good fishing spots, thats why my grandpa doesnt tell anyone about our secret lakes/spots

while you are in the land of 10000 lakes catch some walleys and eat them you will never touch a bass again.

Re: Anybody big fishers?

Those are some nice fish, good job, the boys look happy

Where's the reds?

Re: Anybody big fishers?

I used to go up to White Fish, kilwory a lot as a young teen. I had a great time getting those Pike. But the best was the pan fish. I did some ice fishing too on Lake Milax. Over all the best fishing I have ever done in my life was in Minnesota.

Re: Anybody big fishers?

I have a little piece of dirt on the lower Kenai. Spend as much of my summer there as I can.

My brother lives in Big Lake, I go when I can. He has a cabin a few miles from dead center AK, we're going moose hunting this Sept. Can't seem to get him to take me sheep hunting though.

Re: Anybody big fishers?

Kclark-those are some very nice fish that you have there!

Re: Anybody big fishers?

I used to fish alot when I was younger, every year I say I am going to fish more and I just can't seem to make it happen. I hope this is the year I make it out more than 2-3 times. The fishing should be great here this year, all the lakes are full and just waiting for the weather to start to warm up and the debris to settle from the storms. Someday I will make it to Alaska for salmon fishing, that looks like a blast.

These fish were caught in Washington DC waters just a 1/2 mile downstream from Chain Bridge.

Looks like he caught him on a marlin plug to me.

 

[KClark]

Re: Anybody big fishers?

We caught these last week. Four fish 25.2 pounds.

Re: Anybody big fishers?

As long as I can drill thru ice to get to them! Couple from this year so far.

 

[KClark]

Re: Anybody big fishers?

Damn nice........

 

[Moof]

Re: Anybody big fishers?

I'd like to know how you all cook your stripers! I've caught several and tried to fix them up but they taste like sh!t.

 

[KClark]

Re: Anybody big fishers?

Roll'em in fish coating/seasoning crap from the market and fry them in hot oil or bake. Damn they're good, nice and firm and flakey. The leftovers mixed up with mayo and pickle relish spread on crackers is delicious.

Make sure to trim all the red meat (FAT) off the filets, that stuff is nasty. I was also taught to bleed them by slicing their gills as soon as they come out of the net .

Re: Anybody big fishers?

I haven't done any serious fishing in a good # of years but I can sure appreciate some of those catches- very nice! And I am DEFINATELY gonna have to go out for Halibut on the next trip up to AK.

Loved the silvers and Kings but Willow Creek is ridiculous "combat fishing" and takes a good bit of the fun out of it when the after-work crowd filters in. And for those of you who think that fishing is boring.....









...most of it is. But get yourself into a good salmon run and you will rethink the boring part! lol by the second day, my forearms were burning from hooking & hauling as many silvers as I latched into(20-30 a day) 'course tho when you spend 12 hours on the river, it is to be expected.

Love to Trout and Bass fish here in Utah. Lots of good areas. My 3.5 year old son will be joining me this year

 

[error4o4]

Re: Anybody big fishers?

I do as much fishing as I can during the summer, but it never seems to be enough. I've been out a few times so far, but have just rounded up a few drum. I'll be out chasing crappie tomorrow. Cross your fingers.

[mdesign]

Re: Anybody big fishers?

That looks like a big fish. I've seen some really neat mounts done with big pikes and muskies. Always heard that a big muskie was hard to catch.

Re: Anybody big fishers?

I used to fish a lot. Still do a little. Some friends and I started fishing in Canada several years ago. We go each year, fly in to a camp, get dropped off for a week and then fly out. We eat Walleye till we grow gills. It is great.

 

[Bigbrotheretter]

Re: Anybody big fishers?

I love walleye. This summer when i go back to the farm i plan to shoot so much long range and fish like crazy!
