Some bad ass fish there. Congrats!
What did you get for a boat?
I'm semi in the mode of adding a bigger boat. Always good to hear about other people's boats.
Come to think about it, that would be a good thread.

Periodical cicadas in southern Illinois. Phenomenal fly fishing for warmwater species. Multiple doubles, 100+ fish days. Hope to go chase trout in a couple weeks. Been waiting 13 years for this to come back around, and it has not disappointed.

It's been almost a year since we've gotten the kayaks out and gone fishing, but we finally made the time. I wasn't expecting much, we went to a nearby pond where we haven't had a ton of luck in the past. I ended up catching a handful of nice, chonky largemouth, with a bonus smallmouth thrown in for good measure. The surprise catch of the day, though, was a 19" walleye that my wife hauled in on her ultralight gear. It felt great to get back out on the water.

Thought I was on top of perch or crappie, instead I hooked this guy on a 1.5" jig and 4lb test. Almost spooled me 3 times, was an awesome fight. 26", didn't get a weight.

Hit the high country this weekend and things were still 85%+ iced up, but the edges were open. Took some work on the technique, as the fish were deeper and not cruising the edges. Slow presentation was the ticket to a bunch of rainbows and tiger trout. It's just going to keep getting better.

For the most part pretty bad around here. My favorite spot Clarno on the John Day River. water just to high and fast to fish. Been down several times and have to be careful or I'm gonna kill myself getting near enough to fish. Would love to go to Brownlee but good four hr drive and I have four dogs to worry about. Prineville Revivor finally getting back into shape after being drained last year. Same with Ochoco Res and Hatstack Res. All three got drained last fall. Haystack pretty dry and the other two nothing but a stream running through. Not one channel cat so far this year! Then my son got permission to fish a ranch irrigation pond near Madras and just full of bullheads. Went two time and caught a bunch of them and biggest bullheads I ever saw, up to just under 16" and averaging about 14". Now my son is afraid of over fishing it so laying back. so much for fish in Central Ore! No idea how trout are doing, haven't fished for them on years. Bass are supposed to be doing pretty good I hear but I seldom fish for them either. I like Channel Cats and Crappie!

Pretty cool.
Honestly.
But not certain what the skill factor is sticking your hand in a box.

The skill involved is in being able to remove your hand from said box with all of the appendages still attached.
It does take some skill to keep from getting hurt. It is pretty hard to go under water and reach into a box hoping that a fish will bite your hand.

Use gloves or no?

No confusion. The technique fascinates me. It's pretty cool. Maybe one day.
I forgot to bring any gloves for my buddy, I didn’t plan to catch anything myself.
