This thread makes me wanna go fishing

I will have my wife hold it next time, I think I make it look smaller than it is haha This is just a stocked old quarry, had a couple break my line or sneak under the boat and shear it. Its mostly large mouth and sunnies but caught a pike the other day didnt even know there were any in there

I thinly its your fro that might make them look small

But test might be where your going, we would go in small rivers... I remember some felt like it it was a bus on there... I ask my sup to take me on his bass boat but I thinks I'm playing I guess I don't look like I've gone fishing before

But looks like you and the wifey are having a good time out there...

You bait for the size fish you want to catch.
Yeah, you may get less hits on bigger bait, but the fish you do get will be larger.

I's sure you all heard of the little boy who's dream it was to be a fisherman. Started out as a trainee dock hand helping the tourists bait their hooks, until, one day, he was promoted to his dream postion of Master Baiter .... jeeez, dating myself with that one :

That's all I've been doing this year is fishing. Can't afford computers anymore since having a kid with another one on the way in November, purchasing a house this year, trying to pay my car off and trying to get a fish/ski boat within the next two years, lol!

Crappie has been what I've mainly fished for with Largemouth next. I don't eat fish but love to fish. I either give away to friends or release. Here is my count so far:

4 Largemouth Bass
4 Perch
1 Bluegill
71 Crappie
4 Saugeye
3 Sand Bass

I don't have any really good Bass lakes around here. They better watch out though when I get my boat and I go looking for them.

^ NICE pretty fun for almost no cost FTW

A few hundred bucks netted me several reels, rods and lures. Biggest cost will be a boat but as stated we will be getting a fish/ski boat so it will be two pleasures in one! We have our eyes on the Tahoe Q4.

My wife is pregnant again with a BOY this go around and he is due in November. When he is around two we will be snaggin the boat. Family vacations at various lakes look out!

Congrats on making a baby bull Travis, Happy Days bro, make sure you take lotsa of video all along the way cuz I'll tell you seriously, THEY GROW UP FAST! My 14year old is 6'5" already and when he rough houses with me, it hurts! (don't tell him that tho, hehe).
