Big fish Ciraxis! I hit a local jewel stream for some 'bows...


Caught about 6, ranging from 13" to 18". The stream is too overgrown to flycast, so I threw Panther Martins instead.

too overgrow to fly cast?? sounds like a challenge to me buddy

a few from saturday, lots of fun on a 3wt rod.

Brown (He fought forever)

Another Brown

Amazing trout Ciraxis! PM Sent!

As a vegetarian and animal lover I personally do not fish, never will fish, and am deeply disgusted by the topic. D:
Shame on you, disgusting teh Rippy.

My pleasure...

damn hippie.

I haven't done any fishing but went Redclawing the other day with Cruizer and his girlfriend Trouble.

She is a thrill seeker

I got a few of the yabbies though, good size for a fresh water crayfish.


I have a size 12 footsize by the way,

went fishing as a kid for years, NEVER CAUGHT A THING

going to canada this weekend and i'm hoping to go fish some remote streams. I want to hook into some brookies or whitefish. We'll see if i get time to go, but then again i usually can find time to fish

Those are some big crayfish...would like to see a bass try to gulp one of those down.

Good luck on the mountain whitefish Ciraxis!

I love fishing. I once tied my rubber raft to the dock with 40 feet of rope, rowed out, cast my line over the side, and drifted until I'd caught my limit. It was so relaxing- had some music on the ghetto blaster, some cold beer, and a good book. LOL

i love fishing and eating fish, just hooking them is fun.....but eating them is the best

I'll be going for some Salmon and Pike starting tomorrow. WooHoo!

Does a bear sh*t in the woods...Of course I love fishing

Nice size crawdads, Get the boiling pot ready

I'm off! I'll let you know how I did early next week. Considering I'll be in NM, I'll probably reel in more human remains that Salmon or Pike.

NM doesn't even have pike...

Do they even have salmon? Or is it the little lakestock kind?

I'm pretty sure NM has no ocean-run salmon...

Yeah, it's lake stocked. We didn't even go to to where they were though, we stayed in the river and caught Rainbows. Did okay but got eaten alive by mosquitos.

My friend caught the smallest pike ever yesterday...

My family and I are going to be staying at the Telemark Resort on Lake Namakagon in Cable, WI next week. We'll be their for a week and a day. Lake Namakagon is the premier musky lake in WI. It is known for it's spotty fishing, but when the bite is one, multiple fish over 40" and pushing 50 can be boated in a couple hours. The fish there are gigantic! Not only is it a musky haven, but it also is a Class A walleye fishery, and is surrounded by many pristine trout streams, full of native brookies, browns, and rainbows.

I am very excited, and I hope to catch a nice mixed bag, including hooking into one of the monster muskies that prowl the waters. On the way there, we'll be travelling through Illinois and souther WI. On the way back, we'll be travelling through the MI U.P. So there will be a lot of sight seeing, and I'll definitely bring my camera! I'll try to keep you guys updated via the resort's computers.

Cable is N. WI, close to Lake Superior and Duluth, MN

My friend and I went for some bass today. Most of our fish came on topwaters...Heddon Torpedos.

My friend caught 3 chunky 13" on the torpedoes.




I also caught a nice 18" on a gill. It had a girth of 14", and weighed a flat 5 lbs. It was a strong fish, and heavy!
It put a good fight on a fly rod.

My friend caught on a gill again on a 3wt fly rod. It was a chunky 14.5"

Guys, I went fishing at the Namakagon River, which is about 1 minute away from our condo here in Cable, WI. Only fished for an hour, because my family wanted to do some more non-fishing stuff, but my dad promised me that we would wade the river for trout and hit the lake for some musky and walleye tommorow.
Caught some beautiful native brookies, ranging up to 14". I saw some 20+ inchers in the hole, so i hope to land one before the week is done. All caught on a bead head fly.

Me, out for some bass. Got one.

I caught some more trout over the last few days, including a 16" brown. I also hooked into a 19-20", but it shook the hook. The memory disk on the camera is screwy, so the pictures are on the internal memory of the camera, so I can only upload them once I get home, but I do have some nice pictures of trout up to 13" before the memory disk got screwed up. A few were on Panther martins, and the others were drifting a Royal Wuff during the evening hatch.

Today, I went out on the water with a guy named Kerry and his two kids, Campbell and Miller. We met him yesterday at a resort, and he offered to take me musky fishing the whole day. He's been musky fishing this lake for the last 30 years! Last year, in two weeks he boated 6 fish over 40", including a 49"...and he hooked into 2 that were bigger. So we went fishing all day, throwing bucktail that were 9" long. We didn't hook into any musky, but we had 9 strikes, including one where the soft plastic tail of the bucktail was bitten off (only a musky can do that) and 3 follows where 30+ inch fish followed the bucktail all the way to the boat! He comes to the resort the same two weeks every year, so he offered to take me out again next year if we come again. He guarenteed fish next time. We did catch some nice gills on the beds though in the evening. However, I caught a 20" pike on a Mepps Agalia. The picture is on the camera again.

Pike

I thought you all would appreciate this. Asian carp are getting bad in the Illinois River, injuring some people by jumping into boats. They aren't native and are destructive so the DNR has said it's best to kill them off so the native species can survive - a difficult task as it is, in such a polluted river. Some groups have taken up bow fishing and there have been some videos posted, this one I thought was pretty funny and shows how bad the problem really is. Plenty of those little devils were harmed in the making of this video - you've been warned. Clicky.

More about the carp here.

What's you favorite type of fishing. My uncle does a lot of fly fishing.

I love fishing. It's very peaceful and relaxing on a lake or shore for me.

My favorite is Ocean. I caught a barracuda once. LOL. I spear for lobster (in season) and there's nothing better than eating fresh lobster. YUM!!

I LOVE the water and anything to do with it.

My fave type is all types...I fly fish, spin, baitcast, surf, etc. It's all amazing.

Invasive species are a nuisance and a threat. Kill them.

Here's a 17" Brown

I prefer fly and bait casting, Where abouts do you go?

I fish everywhere possible. I've fished hard in CA, IL, WI, MN, MI, MA, CT, FL, TN, KY, WY, MT, GA, OH, OR, Canada, Mexico, Australia, India, and Panama.

Nice, Canada has awesome salmon.

Indeed. I want to make a trip up to the Skeena River in BC for some monster Kings in the near future...don't get me wrong, I love fighting the 30+ pound Great Lakes Kings, but the thought of hooking into a 60 lb king isamazing...

Another big salmon place I want to fish is Sheep Creek, AK.

Ya i live in BC, I ate a nice 60 pound king salmon 2 weeks ago, Umm Ummm Good.

I fish everytime I can,I love fishing"A bad day fishing is better than a good day working".I'm going this coming week end again with my uncle,were going to fish lake Tawakoni off 2 mile bridge,they are biting on cut bait and goldfish"the catfish" ,my bigest fish was about49 pounds,biggest bass was about 14 pounds,biggest crappie was2 1/2 pounds,I fish lakes FORK,RAY HUBBARD,LAVON,CEDER CREEK ,Tawakoni and JOE POOL, when I go to OKLAHOMA I fish Lakes,Broken Bow and Broken Arrow and Texoma.I am very lucky to be able to fish any of these lakes on a moments notice,And if anyone wants to go with me one of these days or wants to meet with me at Tawakoni or Ray Hubbard all you have to do is ask and we can go,I really really love fishing"Have Fishing Fever" and kids"Get hooked on fishing not on Drugs",I'm also looking for a partner who has a Fishing boat and is looking to join a fishing comp.

I prefer not to eat salmon that big, as the meat becomes old and slimy due to the age of the salmon...it basicaly deteriorates.
