Nice looking fish whatever it is

Never caught a peacock before but do they ight harder than pike? They have some big ones in NJ that would put up a helluva fight! I'm pretty sure there are pike in FL but maybe not as common as they are up north... I would think a Muskie would put up a better fight than a pea not sure if FL has Muskie though

Lol

Probably how much he paid not including shipping If there was a $1.40 baitcaster on amazon they would always be sold out

Where the pics $2 reel ill get a few

That's weird they don't price match they do here. You definitely need to tal to management about that maybe you just got a stubborn store clerk. Only thing is you need to bring it to their attention they won't tell you that the product you purchased is cheaper at their other location.

That's how they work. It's the same at the Academy's by me. One side of town is more freshwater and other side is saltwater so they have different prices based on the demand at that particular store in that area.

I advise people to shop at Academy Sports if you have them! Their warranty policy is simply AMAZING. If you have your receipt you can take back rods or reels no matter when you purchased it, my buddy returned his after 4 or 5yrs. If you don't have the receipt, let's saw you purchased it somewhere else but Academy carries the product, then they look it up and give you the difference towards another rod or reel purchase or simply give you store credit for anything u may want to buy. I love this store they have came through for me in so many ways

Nothing like breaking in a new rod

That happened to me but my fish was atleast 12lbs and I lost her about 15 feet in front of me in Lilly pads! She got wrapped up and I kept pulling and my mono snapped! Ever since that day it has been 30lb braid no matter what I'm throwing or the conditions. I have never had my line snap since then! If I didn't live in FL and there wasnt a huge gator living in this lake, prob others too, I would hav went in the water to get the fish out the pads!!! This thing was so big that I will never come close to getting a fish like that again in my life!!! I fish that spot about 2 times a week just to see if I can reunite with her again but this time be able to touch her lol

Patience! And top water in the AM and PM!!! Top water hollow body frogs will change your fishing life if you are patient and put the time in. I was a non believer in top water too, never had any luck, past 4 months nearly ALL my fish have come from frogs and it seems like they are all big. August has been rough here in FL since its so hot the fish aren't as active but they are there and ready to bite if the opportunity is right and presents itself

^ x2 I wonder if my academy is running this sale I'm going to call if they do I will be this site official Trokar dealer $5 a pack... DISCOUNT

Yea Catt 6 foot worms will work

Nice fish. I only fish by that rule bigger equals bigger better fish. When it come to worms I use 6" senkos and 10" Mightee worms big fish love the Mightee worms

frogging is addicting! nice catch

Nice fish. I use to live in Manasquan and lived in Monmouth County for 15 years. That's a nice size fish for Jersey. I know some real good spots that if you went now the fish would be huge because I haven't fished there in at least 6 years and nobody fishes it. PM me and I can could tell you where some good spots are in the area.

How far north are you? I use to go to Kean University up in Union I know some spots around that area. I am originally from the Jersey Shore, Belmar Spring Lake area, I know a bunch of good spots over there. If you ever want to take a trip check out te Manasquan Resivour. They have basically every type of freshwater fish native to NJ, they even have hybrid striped bass and Muskie. You can rent Jon boats out of there and they sell live bait as well.

I have found some lures like the rest of us. But I found $60 in a bank envelope. It must have fell out someone's car of something because the bills were showing out the bank envelope

Lou how big do they generally get?

KVD 1.5 square bill in crawfish color

I'm a eagles fan we need every excuse for our cotton soft defense lol

New York Strip steak with a Maine lobster with butter garlic sauce, broccoli, and a loaded baked potato with a few bottles of Yingeuling and a fudge brownie for dessert

Shark week in the past was epic they fell off a lot past few years. Seems like it's te same shows just different people and stories... How many times are we going to see air jaws lol we get it great whites jump out the water to catch seals we get it after Air Jaws 32

Nice pics

Atleast you didn't shut this down yet I feel it will get more interesting when this kid signs back on lol
