Catch of the day [Fishing]

[Matty123]

Laughing because the exact same thing happened to me and I walked out to my neck to
Get the lure. It was a handmade wooden metal Lip swimmer.  Glad you got the Lure back! I see you use an anglers clip to attach lures. The best

[Giles]

I've done that before, and forgot I had my passport and Wallet in my rear pockets 

We call it a Breakaway Mini Clip over here.  Probably exactly the same thing…

I was only discussing with my mate this morning how now, we will change lures frequently because it is so easy, once upon a time we'd put off changing lures, if we bothered at all.

[Matty123]

Oh boy. Passport… I was wearing my chicken legged wabash pants. Which look lovely BTW

Yeah exactly the same. So nice to change lures easily and without eating up your leader. Or if you direct tie, like an animal, then you waste your fishing line. And cutting braid is such a hop in the ass.

I’ll have some kayak catches soon. Outfitting her before I go out.

So you ordered the kayak?

[Giles]

I've ordered it, but they are on back-order…..

My nephew is hooked on fishing. I couldn't be a more proud uncle.
we decided to troll for northern and he caught his 2 biggest fish ever. (1-28" and one 30" pike)

The next day my wife and I went out for a fish n' swim boating excursion and a tossed a line in and caught this 31" pike.

[Giles]

Brilliant…..

What’s the best way to eat pike? I don’t think I ever have…

We catch and release pike and simply enjoy the fight. I try and be gentle as possible with them as not to hurt them.

However, some do love to eat Pike and there is a tricky "Y" bone that needs to be managed when filleting. most people here will toss it in Shore Lunch (a standard breading system that comes in many flavors) and deep fry it. A squeeze of fresh lemon or tarter sauce and and off we go.

Already forgot your roots? Beer-batterd of course 

[Giles]

Popped out early with @Alex one Mackerel and a micro-Bass each….

Wading back over the gravel bar from the island we were on, I took a tumble, there's some sharp shit down there 

[LewisStonehouse]

Ouch! Looks like a gnarly smiley face

[Madame Buttonfly]

Drunk at 6am…?  ???

[Giles]

Possibly 

[Matty123]

Rub some dirt on it. You’ll be fine..

It’s a baseball saying for when a batter gets hit by a pitch.

[Sage954]

Maybe some 25oz waders are in order? Sharp shit doesn’t stand a chance

[dinobarnesberlin]

Thats going to be a nasty raspberry

[Giles]

Went out for an hour or so this morning at about high tide, both of keepable size, but I popped thgem back:

[Matty123]
