Pike on a whopper plopper, that seems like a heck of a fun time right there.

I’ve had 50 pound kings pull my 20 foot North River sled around, can’t imagine the ride you get in a Kayak

I tried and tried, never could get the right technique down or figure out the correct weight needed without snagging them. Luckily AK was full of other opportunities to put salmon in the freezer.

Matching wits with the " venerable" carp.

a fly, of course.

It’s a good’un, no doubt... 45min of pulling all the while with your head on a swivel watching out for the beast that did this a couple days before.

Caught this beauty in northern Manitoba on an ultralight rod while jogging for walleye. 36” laker on a 3/8 jig

Drop your rod tip when your drift gets down stream of you.

Fishing at Pierre, SD, a week before memorial day.
On day 1, fishing, we all got our limit in an hour.
Day 2 catch
On day 3, it's between days 1 and 2. We all got fished out and did not take any pictures.

Time for something slightly different. Relocated to AR for work, and that means I'm closer to family and what I grew up doing. Want to get back to MT at some point, though.
Got my PB crappie, from a lake in IL. A hair shy of 16".
Decent day chasing white bass. Bycatch was fun- including the big crappie.
Another decent day, but not the same size quality. Pretty decent cooler of fish.
Caught a smallmouth buffalo while fishing the MS River.
Fried buffalo ribs were the motivation to keep it. Worth it.
This is what the loins look like when scored, ready to bread and fry. Definitely underrated food fish.
Baby cutthroat are fun during runoff when you have to pocket-hop. Trip to MT to play rugby and see the girlfriend.
Girlfriend with her first trout, and first fish on the fly. She bought a rod of her own after this trip. Next trip? She got waders.
Dad with one of my favorite fish- longear sunfish. Shame they're too aggressive to really keep in aquariums.

We went down to Port St. Lucie to fish for Jacks. We found them. We probably kept about 1/2 of what we caught. All on artificial. It was a fun short trip.
Your buddy looks like ex-NHL'er "big buff" Dustin Byfuglien.... who's also a fisherman.

THat’s our awesome guide Cory. My dad picked a lodge for the last ten years with guides; which is nice now that he’s pretty old and lets me help my dad. Would be awesome to have Big Buff up here though ha

I was out 7 of the last 9 days with the raft in MT. We floated ~80 miles and caught ~150 fish, some rivers fished great, some only good, some not so good. Gotta get it in before low water cancels you for the year.
What’s your go to recipe for Jack? Caught em a few times on trips to ocean but never targeted them or kept them.

We fileted them. Cut out the red meat. Season them up and put them in tacos. I absolutely love tacos. Its my favorite food with out question.

Dry flies or bust the past two days. Lit them up yesterday but total bust earlier today. This fish gets honors. Big fish for small water.
Water levels and temps are looking bleak for a lot of the state.
