Some may need the extra big pan.

Worms, a sinker, and a small bobber.

That's a really nice smallmouth, what did it weigh? My guess is somewhere around 3 1/2 lbs.

She's cheating.
See how she's holding it out close to the camera?
She does the same thing with her tits.
I'm guessing 2 1/2# tops.

You could be right. I haven't caught a smally in 30 years.

Firstly, that's my son holding the fish. Not me. It was his catch.

And yeah, a good three pounds. Maybe a bit more. They are super fun to catch, good fighters that like to jump.

Well thanks for making me feel creepy.
Sheesh

I prefer deep sea fishing. Lake/Stream fishing can simply be too slow.

But most my fresh water experience is with large mouth in Florida or Trout in the West.

With large mouth I prefer live Shiners or plastic worms. Shiners probably work the best but with plastic worms you are doing something and some skill is required.

Trout: While Salmon eggs work the best, flys are the most fun.

IMO

Hey, I enjoy a full day of catch and release with grayling or rainbows. But, some days, it's nice to just sit in the sun with a beer and drag a an unbaited mooching rig through the water. Someone else runs the boat, fetches beer and sandwiches. It's fucking like heaven.

Truth. If you have a bad day fishing, you're probably doing it wrong.

Worms, a sinker, and a small bobber.

I really enjoyed bass fishing in all those wonderful wee lakes, a couple hours north of you.

I used a 6' Lightning flex rod, and the fight on those buggers.

We would just drift the boat along the reeds or bushy overhangs, and cast out little 'poppy' Rapala lures. Some of those bass would lunge right out of the water, mouth open to grab the lure, and they were full of fight.

Occasionally, a Northern or Muskie would take the bait, and then you really got to test the action of your light gear. If your drag wasn't set right....

Whole squids for marlin. Nowadays I do my fishing at Fresh Market, resulting in much lower gas bills.

 

[doowdniw]

Ribbon fish for mackerel and ling out in the gulf. Salmon eggs for trout in the rivers in New Mexico, and dough balls for crappie in the lakes up in New Hampshire. Beautiful lakes - crystal clear right down to the bottom.

 

[remy_lebeau8]

I remember catching rock bass as a kid, it was fun. That's a big ass sinker btw.
I was in Walmart today and saw they had Martin Fly rod kits for panfish marked down half price so I bought one. I'll post a pic later.

Holy shit that looks like a 2lb sinker. What the hell were you trying to keep down, Jimmy Hoffa?

If I remember right it was a 2oz sinker. There's quite a bit of current on the Detroit river and mouth of the Huron river and you need heavy sinkers to get to the bottom. I normally use a 1.5oz sinker but I think I was out that day. When I fish the more inland streams I don't use more then 1/4oz.

 

[chillywilly2]

DOH! Minnows, I knew I left something off the poll.

we got a pail of 12-13 inchers last weekend on minnows, then a 5lb lake trout on smelts Sunday

 

[nerfhearder]

Smalls are fun. Some light test, good flex rod and you can really have some fun with those guys.

Ah. There is a spot that's really good for coho that I used to fish where the current was just flat nasty and you had to practically use car batteries to keep the line down but it sure was fun.

I don't fish much now but my favorites in the midwest were pan fish and Channel cat.
For the Pans I'd use a #10 hook and a tiny piece of night crawler, no sinker, no float.
Just let the little piece of worm float toward the bottom.
Repeat until you get a hit.

For channel cat a large night crawler, a decent weight and a small round bobber, unless tight line fishing in the big Muddy.


Since this is an erotica forum here is the definition of a masterbaiter.

It's a fisherman that puts a 4" nightcrawler on a #10 hook without killing or ripping it.

Flipping through the TV channels, and I watched a man who was on his back, and wrestling with a fish. He was bear hugging a fish that was the size of a harbor seal.

More fool, him. He pulled it out of the water, at the edge of the dock.
It was thrashing and tossing violently.

Once I caught a 12 pnd northern pike in a river.
I was trying to get the daredevil trebles out of his jaw.
Then my hand got hooked and he got a second wind and a fine revenge.
Hard to control a big slimey northern with one hand while your other hand is being torn to shreds.

A friend I fished with used to use a chainmaily butcher glove - something to prevent butchers from lopping off their fingers - when handling those nasty buggers. The teeth on them...

I used a gaff.

Those gloves are a pain to take off and put on once they get wet.

I didn't expect to catch anything today ,I was just casting a worm around for kicks. Temp was in the upper 80's, windy as hell. The water levels are low everywhere due to lack of rain. Slow retrieve in thick grass using a regular 1/0 hook with a 1/8 ounce bullet weight on a medium action rod with a spin cast reel.

Looks like a perfect Sunday, SS.

 

[EmpressJosephine]

I like dough balls best, because they are so easy and you don't have to touch anything nasty like worms or leeches.

BTW: Did you spell it "Beatles" like the band on purpose, as opposed to the insect, "beetles"?

(And if you used Ringo Starr as bait, where would you place the hook?)
