Catch of the day [Fishing]

[jordanscollected]

Caught a few good ones today. 30” northern, and a couple decent bass that fought above their weight.

In a couple weeks I’m acquiring a Muskie rod so I’ll get skunked and a sore arm for that point forward.

@jordanscollected wow nice job man. Those fish are so beautiful. I grew up on a lake and fished a lot. Caught a fair share of bass and always wanted to snag a pike but never did. That pike is just so neat looking. Is that your boat?

[jordanscollected]

@Oaktavia Thanks Man! That northern was bigger in real life. Super fat and healthy. A couple pics and he swam right off. They fight hard and have huge teeth.

Yes that my Lund boat. It’s smaller (16.5 feet) but has a nice 4-stroke motor and it gets around the lakes here perfect. It was handed down to me from my father when he retired. So it’s been in our family since ‘99 when it was new.

Many congrats....

@jordanscollected I went Muskie fishing in Wisconsin once. And I did indeed get skunked and had a very sore arm. Fish of a thousand casts I believe they call them. Haha. That pike is a beauty dude. Those bass ain’t half bad either!!!

[jordanscollected]

@Mizmazzle thanks dude! And unfortunately it’s “10,000 casts”

[jordanscollected]

Thanks @Giles! Have you trolled behind Sakura yet?

[Giles]

Not yet. It will be something I have to do when P is somewhere else :-). I have the rods on board, I have the rod holders to install, and I am having some swim-platform staples made onto which the rod holders will be mounted....

PB northern today. 38”. Had another in the boat that was 36” and flopped into the water when I was measuring him. A third even larger that broke my line and 1 more that ran hard into the weeds and spit the hook.

What a day to hear the drag rip.

Saalim got skunked with his massive Muskie lures says, “I didn’t catch a fish and this was one of my favorite days on the water ever!”

VERY well done

[Oaktavia]

@Giles How is/was the fishing trip? Been quiet for way too long...

[Giles]

Fishing was amazing thank you. Got back and straight into a week's Coastal Skipper course. Now have friends from Spain and Germany staying with us.....

I did not post many pics of the fishing because I thought it may be boring, but here are a few....
