Catch of the day [Fishing]

[Giles]

Yes, but when i say I caught it on a fly, i mean I had a fly (a freshwater shrimp pattern) tied to the end of the line, which I presented on a tiny spinning rod.  It was like how I fished for Minnows as a child, but with an artificial as bait.

That is hysterical. I love it.

[UnTucked]

That's bigger than I expected based on the size of the well/pond

[Giles]

I made the pond 2 feet deep, so there is quite a volume of water in there.  But the fish is in super condition, so obviously doing well…

How I imagine a conversation between G and Paula would go.  Maybe, someone can fill in the blanks or add to the conversation.

G:  Hey Paula, can I go on a fishing trip to….
Paula:  Didn’t you just get back from one?  This makes the ..... this year.
G:  (deep thought for a while). Paula, Can I build a tranquility pond in the garden?

@Giles has more game than that. He invites @Madame Buttonfly on a trip to northern Norway to see the midnight sun, the beautiful scenery and cute cabins. Just so happens that Norway is ripe for fishing trips and we knew Paula and Hot Ingrid were going to get get on like a house on fire. Boom… everybody's happy

@neph93:

Boom… everybody's happy 

We most certainly were…

In fact, if Neph and I had pissed off for 3 days on our own, I suspect the girls would not have minded in the least….

[Chris]

Kinda surprised they didn't suggest exactly that.

Fly fishing in MN

[Giles]

Very nice…

[Bfd70]

Thanks
Weather was perfect. Plenty of Brown and Rainbow. Gorgeous weather and scenery.

[Giles]

That looks like a perfect little trout river…

[neph93]

@Giles this is what is supposed to happen when you take a boat trip put into the waters beyond Bodø…

[Giles]

Excellent - who caught dat?

[neph93]

Jesper got it on the hook, he needed a bit of help to get it in the boat. We’re guesstimating 20kg. The filets got spilt 50/50 with his mate and our share weighed 4kg.

[Giles]

Good boy…...

Fishing for schoolies on the housatonic
This is a striped bass.. Little guy. Let him go. These fish grow up to 75lbs out in the ocean

[Giles]

Nice…

[Matty123]

On a boat with the proper gear. you can get right on top of the HUGE schools and catch 100-200 of these. No joke. Up to 30” the schoolies are
