Super User A-Jay Posted January 29, 2015 Super User Posted January 29, 2015 I really do like starting a new reports thread, mostly because it means that I actually went fishing. Since that's not happening anytime soon, I figured I'd throw one up just to stay in practice. Don't really remember if any of these were actually on a Thursday or not but here's a green one & a brown one and just for the heck of it, a striped one. And for those poor souls in the same boat, please feel free to pile on here - hopefully it will ease the pain a little. A-Jay 8 Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 29, 2015 Super User Posted January 29, 2015 Those are some mighty fine fish! 3 Quote
Logan S Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Nice fish! I'll play along too since we're dodging snowstorms (flurries for you midwest guys) here in MD. Not the biggest all year, but a great day on my favorite lake. From day 1 of our club classic on Gaston of which I placed 2nd. Largemouth and a nice sized Spot that rounded out a decent limit that day. 3 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted January 29, 2015 Super User Posted January 29, 2015 Heres me on a night fishing trip around 1978 . I would be about nineteen years old in my new Skeeter 15 foot tri hull SS1 Fisherman . I fished whenever I could. The lure here is probably a black grape jelly worm. the reel is an Abu 4600c. The rod could be a fiberglass Lews speed stick . Good memories. 9 Quote

And here's my PB from last year: 3 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted January 29, 2015 Author Super User Posted January 29, 2015 Beautiful fish! Is that a hybrid striper or is that from saltwater? And here's my PB from last year: That's a Saltwater Real Deal Striper - East Coast - Southern New Jersey Shore model . . . Spent several years chasing these guys up & down the East Coast - Good Times. A-Jay 2 Quote

I didn't know the shimano calcutta was a rod Quote

I didn't know the shimano calcutta was a rod Good Eye That's a fairly rare west coast jigging rod - I used to work in a tackle shop and ordered it from a dealers catalog. Has no reel seat and is very heavy action - super stout - like a pool cue. Worked perfectly for heaving the 3 ounce bucktails I fished. A-Jay Quote

A-Jay Thats pretty awesome to have such a unique rod! 3 oz bucktails!! What were you fishing for ? Flounder? Haha Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted January 30, 2015 Super User Posted January 30, 2015 19" and 21"....6lb test on a drop shot rod, you bet it was fun! OBX 5 Quote
EvanT123 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 This was a good Saturday afternoon for me high 60's low 70's over cast slight breeze. The one in the upper right smashed my fluke a foot from the transom scared the crap out me. Don't want to wish my life away but can't wait to get back out there. 4 Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted January 31, 2015 Super User Posted January 31, 2015 Here is a picture of a close friends best smallie day of his life. This is the only 21" smallie I have ever seen that went over 7lbs. The 2nd picture is my wife's PB which she deserved to land after tripping over my tackle bag & falling on her butt. She managed to hang on to the rod & land the fish despite the fall. 5 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 1, 2015 Global Moderator Posted February 1, 2015 A throwback from 2009, my biggest Kansas largemouth at 7lbs 14ozs. Taken on a red shad YUM wooly bug out of a brush pile on a tiny state lake. The only other boat on the lake had just finished fishing the pile I caught it out of, and they had some choice words for me for catching "their" fish. All I had for them was a cat that ate the canary grin 6 Quote
