I`m lucky to have a pond at my doorstep full of pan sized speckled trout......I flyfish for them from my kayak and can easily catch a dozen in less than an hour !!!
I'd show you a picture of the big fish I caught yesterday except it was a bowfin, fought like crazy. wife nearly wiped out trying to net it. Gill hooked it, and got bit pretty good trying to retrieve the hook. Between the fish and I, we made the boat look like a chain saw murder scene. I'm just glad mywife and I survived the whole thing.
Got the boat cleaned up and the thumb is healing. Going to a different lake next time. That's 3 of those durn beasts in a week hunting for bass.
Spoonbill. Fun to fish for and good eats.
Meanest sob in the lake.
Is that a snake-head?
Thank goodness we don't have them around here, but they sure look fun on TV when they destroy a topwater lure.
