38 hour haul in second pic

Success!

threw her back, thought she needed to feel the earth tho lol

I was out on Lake ONTARIO today and learned down-riggers on a friend’s boat - I have two Scotty’s on a new boat but never used them - without overstating the obvious, I feel like I’ve unlocked a whole new style of fishing that is new to me, just saying - I also realize that a 9lb Atlantic Salmon (my first) barely registers if it’s less than 25 lbs, but I’ll take it (terrible pic, no edits, including my head cut off, catch and release).

Caught this beauty on my ultralight and decided to filet for the first time as well. Messy cuts but next time should be better

Caught in holiday beach ontario. These little guys were pretty tough to catch. I improvised by creating a ball of loop knots and tied that to my drop shot using a 7g sinker and a slip bobber.

This was me & my brother's favourite lure when we were kids... We nicknamed it "Silly" because we thought it wobbled so funny in the water.

We're in our mid 20s now and I'd love to get it tattooed.

Can anyone help ID Silly?

Chased this fryball and hooked the same papa for the 5th times lol, this time i got towed

Sinking pencil 22gram
Cast and drop
Location Malaysia

Haven't fished since I was like 5 but I forgot how much it rocks to fish!

All I think about is fishing while I’m at work.

In my field, I move around the city a lot and have a good amount of freedom to go where I want and do what I want while on shift. There are so many opportunities to fish since there are a lot of bodies of water in my area. I also have a lot of free time on shift since the only time I actually work is when I get a call (I work in EMS).

As easy as it sounds, I “can’t” fish while working because 1. I’m in uniform 2. I have to be ready to get in the rig and go when a call comes through right away 3. Even if I choose to fish, it’s not a good look in public and would somehow get to my supervisor that I was doing leisure activities on shift. There’s nothing in the policy saying that I can’t do that, but it’d still get in trouble somehow.

I’ve brought a reel in my bag to just fidget with but honestly, I really just wanna throw a cast and play with the water lol.

What do you guys do when you’re fiending to fish while you’re working?

I can’t lie it’s my first year doing any real fishing, I’ve got about 30 fish under my belt but never had a keeper for this fluke, 19” today, filleted it up and gave it some flour and cornmeal, a little seasonings, finished with butter and thyme and just a little peppers to see if i liked it, what a meal, what a blast and the last pic is my moms approval lol

I enjoy fishing when I can, but rarely get time to go. I recently had a bad accident, where I will be out of work for some time as my dominant arm is broken and will be in a cast. I would love to do some fishing in my down time, but I’m wondering if it’s even possible. Anyone out there who has one usable arm and manages to catch fish? Would be great if someone has advice on how to go about this, or if you have tried and decided it’s too much trouble I’d appreciate hearing that as well.

50”, bout 30lbs

Sturgeon Moon? More like the Muskie Moon. Sizes in picture order 37", 34", 35.5", 35". My dad also caught two with and the largest of the day at 41".

I recently discovered this damaged eye ring on my daiwa aird x baitcaster rod. Is there any way I can fix this?

I’m looking for an ID on this jerkbait I saw used in a YouTube video. Love the two hook set up.

Not sure if this is the right place for this. If not, apologies.

I HAVE ZERO IDEA ABOUT FISHING!!! :D

Hello! :)

I recently started to watch fishing stuff on YouTube and got some Equipment given to me. Which means I am looking forward to sit at a quite little lake nearby to catch absolutely nothing.

BUT I‘m preparing of course watching pros on the internet and I stumbled over this Blacktip dude.

I saw some videos of him where "He" caught some HUGE fish, but for a lot of the time, he just yelled at his team to do stuff. like at some point he didnt even had the rod (?), he yelled at a huge dude on his boat who otherwise prepared bait and stuff and told him what to do. When the other guy with the help of some other guys pulled the fish out, he stepped right back in after it was on the boat.

Is this normal? is this just because it must be so grueling and hard to hold a giant fish that long that you have to switch
No disrespect, its amazing to see!

good fish or whatever You guys say! I wish you all a great day! :)

Una river (Novi Grad, Bosnia and Herzegovina) it’s hilarious to me that I caught such a small fish with such a big lure

My friend said it’s an European Bullhead

I was spooling my piscifun alijoz 300 and my line snapped midway through. Come to find out I burnt through the guide and now it’s sharp asf. Is it junk now?

Mistakes were made but next sesh fo sure packing more menpachi back home 🤙🏿🤙🏿 chee

Bigger one bit of a hassle to get up alone, my net wasn't ready and it is only 230cm 7"6 and bridge is about 3m 9"8

I went back to the same location I caught my first Perch at yesterday (and a Northern Pike similar in size to this)
I caught three Zander (including my first ever!) With this being the largest and third and final of the day.
Considering I’ve only picked up fishing in the last three months, after float fishing for carp as a boy, I would say I’m pretty proud of this fish!
Now a car journey of several hours awaits back south!
