Catch All Fishing Thread

[Crimeny]

We chartered a trip on Yellowstone lake with Grandpa. It was a great way to not have to go to ol faithful. Someday, when I have a much bigger boat, I'll be back DIY. That is, if they haven't figured out how to exterminate the lakers by then. Not pictured are a handful of 18-22" cutthroats.

Had to be creative yesterday. Needed to get the ball rolling with this years firewood gathering. Yet, my wife needed to catch some mountain creek trout.
Found a spot to do both. Happy for her, she disappeared for an hour and a half and stopped counting at 20 fish. I dropped 5 trees for a truck load.
Two celebrate we drank beer and skinny dipped.
Good day!!

Been doing this every year since I was a kid. I look forward to the process each year. Can't throw logs around like I used to though.
You ever speculate how many tons of building material your body has moved?
Laughing with a friend recently over this.

Went camping with some friends last night, and caught my first fish on fly gear. Of course I had left my phone at the campsite, so no pic
It wasn’t very impressive anyway, a 6-7in rainbow trout.

I had also left my crawfish trap soak overnight, and came back this morning to about 2 dozen crawfish and 2 small trout in the trap. I let the trout go, and boiled up the crawfish for breakfast.

1st musky and only 7438 casts. 33 inches and Son missed netting 2 times and flashbacks to my dad miss netting a monster as big as front of open bow my cousin had on. 1st walleye for friends grandkid. Took over an hour to get 3 rods out kept getting hit by keepers and shorts on Erie. Month or two and Erie is going to be lights out with keepers.

@Falcon75

1/7438 is batting way better than the proverbial “1/10,000 casts”.

Glad your son sealed the deal for you. Congratulations

And sagging.

Unfortunately yes, for me.
But fortunately my wife is comfortably younger than the Douglas guys new squeeze.

Rang the bell on a few cats yesterday.

Back out on Michigan today with my dad, brother and uncle. Probably the tamest I've ever fished it. Landed a couple steelies, lost a couple fish, and had a blast.

Try not to ding the $$ boats when catching bass.

Bass was yesterday. Much different setting today. Several big bull trout hanging out in this small stream, had one on but did not land it.

Struggled hard with the reds this vacation. Just couldn't seem to catch them like I used to, no matter what I did. Didn't fish last year, musta been rusty. Leaking waders didn't make my job any easier either.

Went out on an unplanned saltwater trip and absolutely slayed silvers though. Unreal how little time it took to limit out the boat. Made up for my failures on the Russian and then some.View attachment 283882

We called it ‘SOCKBLOCK” when somebody couldn’t catch reds. Glad you got into silvers, my favorite salmon to fish for.
