Catch of the day [Fishing]

[Giles]

Very nice. I am of to Indonesia on Wednesday for a diving trip. One travel rod, reel and a box of lures packed amongst the dive kit....

EDIT- Make that two boxes......:-)

Ice fishing season is upon us and it spares no one! Not even teenage daughters. (To look stylish in middle of nowhere that is)

River fishing today. First small mouth bass

[jordanscollected]

@Choko my favorite fish to catch. They fight as hard as a largemouth 2x the size.

Nice fish there.

[Choko]

@jordanscollected I agree! I heard they fight hard. This one felt like I was reeling in a 5 pound LMB. I’m definitely hooked

Couple of my dad’s friends were fishing at the farm and took this large mouth. Biggest I’ve ever seen taken and they thankfully put it back

@SKT damn nice fish!!

[Mizmazzle]

@SKT Wowzers!

I need to find out what they were using!

Another week bashing away in Portugal, chasing the big one. Did not even catch a small one

But the scenery, food, booze and company made it not matter....

Looks awesome and reminds me of our hike last autumn. Where's that exactly @Giles ?

One of the reasons I love fishing so much is that it levels people. If we fish, we have a common interest.

Tonight, I went to the wake of a friend I made fishing, we bumped into each other on the shore one night, really the only thing we had in common was fishing.

He was a true Gozza, no teeth through substance abuse, a beat up old van that had seen considerably better days, and never any credit on his phone, so he used mine.

I never went to any of the legendary illegal raves he organised, but we did have fun together on remote beaches. Whilst I tried to stay awake by blinking my eyes and walking around, he would appear out of the back of the van, wiping his nose, and raring to go......

I was met by his daughter tonight who said, "Have you seen the order of service? It's dad being arrested". My reply "which time?"

Go catch some fish up there Steve, if they'll let you in....

To passed fishing friends. Tight lines up there.
