Put up your Fishing pics

[BigFir]

There's got to be a bunch of fisher people on the forum. I'd like to see some pics of various types of fish from around North America.

When I get home i will post a bunch from southern ontario here. Dying to get out ice fishing but the weather has not made that too likely for a little longer at least. Bet you have some beauty salmon there in BC

 

[Bristlecone]

I'm sure you have a few of these in BC

 

[BigFir]

I guess the big waters there take some real cold to freeze. We have been on the ice since November! Caught some nice Brookies but the only pics I have of them are just before entering the smoker!
I don't do much for Salmon fishing as I am in the interior. We do catch some rainbows that compare to salmon in our small stillwater lakes though....

Looks exactly like the trout that come out of the stream behind my house. Awesome colours!

Those are beauties. BC has the toughest, meanest fish I've ever landed. One slammed my fly and was pulling the rod out of the canoe, fighting like holy hell. He was about 5" long. I love those bows.

Nice! Do those steelies come up from the lake or the atlantic?

 

[jb6l6gc]

Here are some Maine fishing pics

Lots of landlocked Atlantic salmon like this


And some nice lakers






Lots of brook trout




We do pike as well



And crappie


And big pickerel


You'd probably never guess but I like fishing.

 

[BigFir]

Wow quite the variety of species you have CS. I like the looks of the Atlantic, reminds me of the brown trout we have on the east side of the rockies.
We don't have a huge variety close to home, I had to drive several hours to knock bass off of my bucket list....and all I got was this monster! haha

Some more Kamloops trout.

Did somebody say crappie? (18")



Or walleye?


Or just for fun - a carp?

 

[BigFir]

Holy Crap....pun intended! Never caught a crappie, or even seen one in person. But that is the biggest I have ever heard of! What do you think it weighed? Proly a scrappy bugger!

What do you think it weighed?

Right at 4 pounds.

Nice lake eyes - jb. Most of the local Mississippi pools around me have gone to a slot limit for eyes. Man has that made a big difference on quality. 24-27" is pretty common these days with the big girls running just shy of 30". My pool (12) produces a good handful of 30+" per year now. but those are the exception, not the rule.

Working in a remote village this past summer about a 20 mile four wheeler ride up river I caught and released about fifty Arctic grayling over two nights of fishing anywhere from 12-19". Probably the most fun I've ever had fishing.

man this thread has me so disappointed, was getting excited ice was just starting to firm up around here , a couple brave fisherman have started to venture out last weekend, then bam 2 weeks of weather thats forcasted above or barely below 0c. I dont think there's gonna be much of an ice fishing season this year. Stupid el nino, good for my wood consumption but terrible for my winter hobbies! I should just flip the damn tin boat back over.

 

[jb6l6gc]

Finally got out today 6" of good ice. Lots of marks on finder no bites though. Heading out again tm morn in backyard. Then all next week above freezing. May have to wait again!

 

[BigFir]

Turn your heater off and the ice will last longer!
I got a couple nice brookies though the ice on the weekend, just got to upload them.

A few more from open water.......

Ya was just kidding, I have a similar heater...love it!

 

[jb6l6gc]

Ya heaters are great. I started using big tank last year cause I was going through so many small cans. This year I got the refill adapter from the states. Not legal in Canada. Just waiting for buddy to drop it off. So I will get the convenience of the little cans with the cost efficiency of that big tank
