Junger Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Had a nice weekend trip on the Piankatank River and lots of species caught. I also had a 25lb+ alligator snapping turtle hooked on a spinnerbait, but luckily it shook off as it got next to the boat. 8 Quote
Terrance Waters Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Nice trip. Such a good variety of fish. 1 Quote
Fried Lemons Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 Potomac starting to come alive again with the cooler nights. Had a blast catching schoolies on light tackle. Also caught a 25lb flathead on the light spinning rod during a night trip but did not bother photographing him. 5 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 25, 2019 Global Moderator Posted September 25, 2019 Silly crappie trying to be bass Monday. I caught one off a shallow rock pile on a 3.5 green pumpkin/goby tube, and this one off a rock breaker wall on a Ned rigged 10,000 Fish Sukoshi bug. Unfortunately for them, my neighbor had been bugging me for some fish so both of them and several white bass were brought home for them. 5 Quote
Super User J._Bricker Posted September 28, 2019 Super User Posted September 28, 2019 I did some trout fishing up north just below the Oregon border. Throwing a Panther Martin spinner in the riffles at the head of a big, deep pool. All of a sudden my spinner gets smoked, my rod loads up, and what I realize is a heavy fish flashes towards deep water. I’m able to turn it as it takes drag and then decides to run away from me peeling even more drag from my little 1000 series reel. I was able to stop this run and now the fish makes a mistake by deciding to go UP river flashing past me displaying the beautiful colors of a wild rainbow trout. I then directed the big rainbow into the shallow, rocky area I was standing in and the battle was over. The 3+ pound buck cooperated for a photo op before it joined some old friends on my stringer.... 12 Quote

Super User JustJames Posted October 23, 2019 Super User Posted October 23, 2019 Time to make my wife happy. I plan to keep maybe 20-30 of these 11-13” this year. Gotta show her why I’ve spent hundreds of for fishing gear, right? Happy wife happy life. 4 Quote
Fried Lemons Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 Fished a local river looking for smallies and walleye. Tossed paddle tails, under spins and jerkbaits without a hit. The problem was the fish were hugging the bottom and my baits were catching too much current and not getting down. Tied on a blade bait which was able to slice through the current straight down. My first cast the blade got thumped on the initial fall. I set the hook and immediately knew it was something big. I played tug of war with the fish for 15 minutes before I was able to get a glimpse of a blue cat pushing 50lbs. Unfortunately my 8lb leader couldn’t handle the punishment and broke as the fish made a last ditch run. I caught numerous smaller fish over the next hour and a half. The catfish were an absolute menace. 11 Quote

Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted October 27, 2019 Global Moderator Posted October 27, 2019 I didn’t get the skunk, but I did manage a snot rocket. The wind was tough, about and inch of rain fell over night. Oh well probably one of the last days we’ll get out. 4 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 29, 2019 Global Moderator Posted October 29, 2019 A whole lot of "other" fish this weekend. 7 Quote
Dorado Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 @Fried Lemons one of the coolest fishing reports I’ve come across this year. I am partial towards big kitties. I bet that Blue that snapped your line was a beast of a fight! Did you see the head on that thing? On 10/29/2019 at 12:17 AM, Bluebasser86 said: A whole lot of "other" fish this weekend. Nice fish, Blue. I thought you weren’t a crank bait guy lol. Cool to see pics of the eyes going after the squarebills Quote
