Show off your fish

5 lbs 6oz. 22inches long

 

From our last Arkansas trip. Nothing big, unfortunately.



And a little cutty my buddy caught.

 

Great action on Lk Michigan this year!

 

Caught some more this morning with my gf

 

what did you catch it on? I caught a couple 2.5 lb'rs is my guesstimate ...couple days ago...about 15" long.

 

Caught it on a wiggle wart.
Darker brown with some gold.
Strange the past 2 weeks. They usually are killing top water (my fav) but I went over this place twice with top water. Went through it again with the wart and he hit it about a foot down. Water was about 3 feet. Slow to medium retrieve with a pause to let it rise. Hit it just after the pause.

 

Got this for $3 at the flea market, it's missing the level wind. Any idea on where to get parts or how hard it would be to use without the level wind?

It's a Penn Peer no. 209, BTW.

 

Interesting...I caught mine on a topwater frog and then shortly after a dinger rubber worm...Its neat to see them slam a frog or even a topwater rig.

 

Oh yea. Early morning, not a ripple. No wind. Pop a torpedo or a frog and just watch the water explode.
Then throw a frog deep into the weeds and tall grass.
I like watching the line move sideways when a worm is being carried. Then you have to guess how long you wait before you set the hook.

 

exactly! I got my wife into bass fishing this year and now shes hooked on them pardon the pun. She likes small mouth bass for eating but catching a big 3lbs 12oz was fun for her

 

Just saw this thread. All these are from within the last few months. Mostly catfish out of my Uncles pond but got a snapping turtle too. Last one is a small mouth out of the Shenandoah

 

coulda made some snapping turtle stew/soup

 

Funny you say that, actually planning that for this weekend.

Gotta stay hydrated on those hot days!

 

I'd post some pics but today I got skunked....Wife caught a couple smallmouth and a pike its all good though

 

On Ottawa River last week,small bass.

 

we caught a bunch fishing this week. They sure are fun to catch! I use junebug rubber worms and they seem to hit them pretty good!
