Anybody else here like to go fishing? Bike is still in the process of being put back together, and since I can't hit up the track, I've been going to the lake. :idk: Thought I'd share a pic of a recent catch. Caught this one with a plastic stik. I'm guessing it was in the 6-8 lb range, didn't have a scale.

DAMN!

Nice fish.....


This is what I'm used to... My Dad holding up a Mahi Mahi while we were out one day.

Very nice! :dthumb: I can't wait to do another ocean trip. Not only is it fun, but it feels good taking a good meal home. With lake fishing, I C&R 100% of the fish.

C&R FTW on lake fish... but man that was a nice bass ya had. I do gotta give props on that.


Yeah, being out in the islands really spoiled me on fishing.... Looking forward to going and doing a charter or two when I get home....

My dad's record is like a 400+ lb marlin... I think I've got a pic of it around here somewhere.

Nice photos.

I have done a little lake fishing each summer, nothing big by most people's standards. I think I would really enjoy a good Ocean fishing experience just because of how much I enjoy the little fish I caught on the lake. I figure if there are bigger fish to be had, there is more fun to be had as well.

DAAAAAAAYMMMMM!!! That is SICK! Your pops is hardcore! :dthumb:
How long did he fight that thing for?
Would love to try that out one of these days. I've been meaning to go to acapulco for that reason, I heard marlin fishing is pretty good there.

Thanks for the props! It put up a pretty "good fight" (feels funny saying that after seeing the pic of the marlin LOL) and ran a few times before I landed it. (6lb line) Good Times!

Quick281, the fun factor does increase with the fish size! Go get 'em!

I LOVE fishing, but mine is a little different. I'm an avid spearfisher. My best catch is a nice sized black grouper, about 26', and damn did he taste good blackened! My favorite target are snappers, yellowtails especially, they're smaller, and FAST and they're a bitch to get the drop on. Very tough to shoot. Hogfish taste the best, hopefully this summer I'll be shooting some big hogs and I'd like to hit a couple tuna. We'll see. (No pics, I'm at work)

Ambly, what "islands" are you referring to? I'm leaving for three months in the Keys next wednesday.

I have reeled in a 300+ blue marlin. That's hardcore shit, it takes a lot of fighting with those damn bastards. I miss deep sea fishing and the food in louisiana, but thats about all I miss from living down there.

Now if we could only find a port with either a track or a twisty road we would be set.

I had a nice striper prob 15+ but it broke my line when we were pulling him up the wall I need a new net. I want to buy a boat sooooooooo bad but I need a bike first so I may rent one from MWR or take a couple charters. good luck guys and gals
