Nice afternoon until a gust of wind put a hook through my ear. Glad it was barbless. Saw a few common mergansers which was cool, but probably not great for the trout population.

Did you get an ear ring for it? Here's a suggestion:

Played host to JPCM the past couple days on some of my home water. Super fun showing him around.

After what's been a bit of a slow start to my year, I finally got into a good one.

That is some fine home water.

**Johnny H** · 05-25-2024, 05:41 PM

Nice brown as well.

Nice swimmy! Always love the pics from that area. I tried to go fishing but as I figured it was a shitshow and I just took the dogs for a walk. Did get to see the tiniest floof ball of a bear cub before it spooked and then saw mom climb a tree. It was right where me and the dogs had been 20 min earlier. Didn't want to stress mom as I was between her and the cub(s) so I got this shitty pic before moving on.

I don't live near the mountains, entrance to the Chesapeake Bay near the Bay Bridge tunnel today - my son snagged a 61" cobia for the PB. It was a beast!!

He had it in the boat in five minutes. I caught a 52" later and it took me 20 minutes, crazy! These things are one giant muscle. Ain't skiing but hunting for these on the top of the water is a blast!

Swimmy!
Great connecting and thanks for the tour! Those shots came out money, send me a few!! Solid couple days of fishing, felt like we had the river all to ourselves today. Fun rowing you into that stud.
Cheers!

Speaking of bears, I posted this in the Montana thread. Had an exciting encounter this week.

Another pic from earlier this week after the snowstorm. No doubt one of my favorite bridges in the world.

I went out today, I caught a small pike minnow, a large sucker, and a couple rainbows:

Upper snake is pretty blown out. Had to farm this pretty one from a side channel.

Top water black beatle.

Up in the Great North Woods of Minnesota pounding Walleye and Pike. This could not be more different than how I fish in Montana but I totally dig it.

Portage between lakes

The fish here are just built differently

Yeah swimmy, love the Midwest stoke !

Took the boat out on stillwater today, I love going fishing with my oldest. Was pretty slow, we got one dink `to the boat and lost four others near the boat. Pretty sure at least two that we lost were Kokes, would’ve liked to have gotten them into the boat.

Fuck yeah swimmy, that's a big ol' walleye. Getting me psyched for my trip to MN next month.

.
nice walleye ....

back from a trip to Columbia National Wildlife Refuge
phenomenal scenery, bird watching and hiking,
the super pump broke down, couldn't inflate the IK, had to fish from shore
the bite was dead, even the Men in Boats were striking out ....

free camping at Perch Point, SE corner of Potholes Reservation
(you need a WA.Discover Pass, $30, required in all WA state parks and other public lands)

Nice creek brown caught by my buddy.

Took the advice of underoos, thanks man and went with Billy Rotne. Dude is the Bull Drum master. Super cool dude and a great guy all around. He put me and my girls on some trophy drum, fish of a lifetime. Sight fishing huge drum with floating crab patterns is a riot! The surface takes were unreal! A couple of the giants we landed.
