Show off your fish

I have 2 GLX poles right now. Love them. Was told the NRX are even lighter and more durable.

 

Nice!
What do you usually fish for?

 

I like to catch ANYTHING! But locally I can get Rockfish (preferred local species), snakehead, perch, bass, catfish, and the normal other freshwater gamefish. If I go out farther than 20min, closer to an hour drive, I can get the rest of the saltwater species. Croaker, round heads, perch, shark, etc.

Only specie I have really been keeping to eat is the rockfish and perch. Have always grown up on saltwater fish. Everytime I eat freshwater fish, they taste like the water they are in. Exceptions to that are the trout, and salmon I have caught.

I know of one spot to get LARGE walleye. We get a run of shad, american shad and herring. all mixed together. Cloudys up the river and they are thick in there. Swimming ass to tail.

 

@Skygear you have pics of the snakeheads your catching?

 

I'll look. Normally i get so many I forget to take pics. Big suckers too. By the time it is time to go, its pitch black and after midnight. I keep all of them, its the law... Give them to my neighbors and they give me a cooked one in return.

Caught a WORLD record a year or more ago. Somehow we messed up in the forms/ submission process. Didn't keep the fish, it turned into dinner.

 

Are they as vicious as the government says?

 

No. Media hyped that. just like the AR-15 -

 

Holy shit that's a big fish

 

Not me, had a buddy hold it for a pic for size reference.

 

I get em. I was fishing daily for over the past 10 years learning the spot and the habits.

 

These are from earlier this year at my buddy's farm. Needless to say I was excited when I caught these. Both females, the first fish was the second cast.



A few more I caught, some small fish.

 

They fight like a large Bass, or rockfish. Never had one 'snap' at me. I reach down and get them bare handed all the time.

In some of the countries they are a VERY expensive fish. I fill up 3 chest freezers full of them for the neighbors every year.

 

nice fish everyone. here are a few of the bigger ones from this spring that i caught.

 

Very nice
