Show off your fish

Sight fishing is a lot of fun. Specially if you are a natural instigator like me…

 

Nothing quite like a good jig bite.

 

Some sturgeon from the past weeks trip

 

My random bi-yearly fish pics. And another kind of special morning. No monster fish, but it was non stop action all to myself, my first topwater trout and a beautiful sunrise before the fog rolled in.

 

Another Wisco bass

 

PB gillie....

 

Make a sammich?

 

nope not even a whoredurve.....

 

Wisco bass? What’s that?

 

A way of saying I'm in Wisconsin and I caught a bass.
It's a smallmouth.

 

Gotcha. I didn’t know if it was some sub species like a coosa bass or something.

 

This about sums up our species with maybe a couple missing??
I've caught everything on there except a salmon and a white bass.
(Not common in my area)


The sturgeon I caught was on the Chippewa River. (About 20")
They've recorded up to 7 footers pulled out of there.

 

I wish we had pike and musky… salmon too. We have pickerel in a few streams but so far and few in between I’ve only ever seen one.

but we have all the white bass you can carry.

 

Pike and Musky are fun.
It's like walking a dog that doesn't listen. They pull you all over the place until they eventually tire out.

Even more challenging when fishing bass and catch one on 8# test and no leader.

Fun pulling them through the ice, too.

 

I’ve never Ice fished but man I want to. Sounds like a blast.

 

You can almost fit it in a tortilla

 

Beautiful day to skip work.

 

Bait or lure?
