  1. My mother and Aunt were fishing in her bass boat; my mother was using a night crawler harness and had just put a large worm on the harness. She swung back with the rod to cast and as she came forward she snagged my Aunt through her nose with one of the hooks, so my Aunt is standing there with a hook through her nose attached to a slimy giant worm. She was not happy, and my mom was laughing so hard she had trouble clipping the barb to back it back out of my Aunts nose…..Needless to say that wasn’t mine, but it’s a family classic….
  2. Yeah, and the more you go the more he'll want to go, great start to a great tradition........................
  3. I haven't caught a bigger Lrg Mouth than 24 inch, when I had it I thought it was only the beginning, but haven't topped it yet... So for me If I was fishing here in Michigan, anything bigger than 24 inchs for Lrg Mouth, and 32 inch or Bigger for Walleye, 36 inch or Bigger for Pike.....
  4. I think I need a bigger boat...
  5. I got your net covered, I'll put an extension on it next weekend, you just catch'em.....
  6. Welcome to BR, that must be your dad's fish your holding in your profile pic.....
  7. Thought I’d share this with the class….. I took my 3 yr old out fishing the other day, he watches his big brothers go enough and he is at the age where if he see’s us getting ready to go, or if we get out the tackle boxes to tweak lures or clean/organize he wants to get right into the mix. He has his own pole, tackle box (mostly soft plastic bait and bobbers)…. Anyway, I decided to take him out just the two of us, I stop off at the bait store after dinner and grab worms, minnows, and crickets. I figured that I don’t take him enough to go out and get skunked, I wanted him to catch a lot of fish and enjoy the experience. I was quickly reminded why I don’t take him more often, as he proceeds to cast and reel repeatedly, managing to hook everything from the anchor line, boat carpet, fish basket, and myself (several times) I spent so much time with his pole that I never really got to cast my own except a few times. He wanted to see if some of my tackle would attract fish, so he threw over some lures, and at one point he was throwing worms over to feed the fish…. By an hour or so I was ready to go, he did manage to catch a few really nice Blue gill’s, and Sunfish, and Perch. As I was putting everything away and trying to get some of the mess picked up before starting up the engine, he knocks over the cricket bucket, freeing whatever was left over from the 2 dozen we started with… Now I go out to the outbuilding to put some items in the boat for this weekend and it’s still chirping like crazy they have crawled up under the bow and stern…. I know it’s funny, but next time I just might take him out in the aluminum V bottom instead….
  8. Yeah, hate to say it but probably operator error.... Sucks you lost good bait... been there, done that, too stupid not to repeat.....=
  9. Ok, fishing friends, I just bought a Shimano Corsair 300 (not the 300a) new in box at this guy’s yard sale. I have been looking for a fresh water reel that can handle salmon, steel head, pike. The box list up to 20 lbs line weight and I’ve already put it on my son’s rod. The issue is it didn’t have any instructions about adjustments and when my son cast it for the first time it birds nested up. He wants to take the mono line off and put on some 30 lb braided test. Will this reel handle braided Anyone know how to make adjustments on this reel? I did a quick search, but found nothing on the Corsair 300. Any help or insight would be appreciated, thanks!
  10. Wondering if anyone has had any luck with Salmon and Chinook/ steelhead in the rivers yet. I hear good things from the guys fishing Lake Michigan. I usually go up north to Manistee Tippy Dam & White River for the Salmon run, with the unusual weather we’ve had wondering when they will be coming in.
  11. I have to agree with justin on this, from what info you gave, it'd be real interesting if you could put out a small paddle boat and cast top water from shore out deep....That would be something I think you'd like...
  12. "Too much work"... Braided line is the king, the improved clinch knot, nuff said...=
  13. Rod: Ugly Stick Spinning or Casing: Spinning Power/Action: Med/Fast Length: 6’6” Brand/Model Shakespeare/ Ugly Reel: Brand/Model Shimano Size 4000 Line Braided 10-14 lbs

  24. A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink and while he's drinking, the monkey starts jumping all over the place. The monkey grabs some olives off the bar and eats them, then grabs some sliced limes and eats them, then jumps up on the pool table, grabs the cue ball, sticks it in his mouth and swallows it whole. The bartender screams at the guy, "Did you see what your monkey just did?" The guy says, "No, what?" "He just ate the cue ball off my pool table - whole!" says the bartender. "Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replies the patron. "He eats everything in sight, the little twerp. I'll pay for the cue ball and stuff." He finishes his drink, pays his bill, and leaves. Two weeks later he's in the bar again, and he has his monkey with him. He orders a drink and the monkey starts running around the bar again. While the man is drinking, the monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar. He grabs it, sticks it up his butt, pulls it out, and eats it. The bartender is disgusted. "Did you see what your monkey did now?" "Now what?" asks the patron. "Well, he stuck a maraschino cherry up his butt, then pulled it out and ate it!" says the barkeeper. "Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replies the patron. "He still eats everything in sight, but ever since he ate that d**n cue ball he measures everything first!"
