Show off your fish

got my 96 xj back !!

 

Any chance you get to fish is a win in my book!

 

Pulled 53 bass from my pond this morn and stocked the creek. Plenty will come fish it but won’t nobody keep any.

 

Nice Brook. Kept him because he swallowed my hook. He was good eating. Like a mini salmon

 

Son’s first steelhead today!! Needless to say I was pretty stoked

good on you Dad and of course your son as well !!!

 

Thank you, it’s funny growing up and learning this parenting thing, I don’t think any fish I’ve ever caught has brought me the same excitement..

Didn’t land that on the ugly stick I bought him awhile back though haha

 

totally get it - I’ve enjoyed fishing with my grandson and watching him grow as an angler (from about 2 1/2 years of age) more than any fish I’ve caught!

 

Gramps, ya got that boy geared to the teef !!!!

 

went out today - photos are meh - we're still on our way to the harbor

 

yawl gone need my hep...

 

yummmmmy

 

Caught a couple of these on the big island today. ID? Parrotfish?
Mystery solved. Manybar goatfish, the Hawaiians call it moano.

 

Caught a couple today


This one had a problem




It was like that when I caught it.

 

Been trying to figure out how that hook got in there, came up with two possibilities....

1. Someone did it intentionally (I doubt it, but there's a rampant amount of weirdos out there)

2. Since its a worm hook maybe the worm slid up the line when he/she made the cast ((which would put the hook below the bait)....fish hit worm, fisherperson set hook and hook ended up there.

Thats all I can come up with.

 

Or there is always the possibility that the fish swallowed the hook and then digested it, passing the eye until the barb got stuck
