Acres of fish
One day, fishing in 12 ft. of water a Monster catfish swam under the bow that scared the crap out of me.Broken all kinds of line on big fish.Until I finally went to 90 pound braided .I know at least 1/2 of the lake bottom better than I know the road system.Yet,if I get one on over 40-45 pounds something WILL break .Snapped a pole in half one day Caught a hand full of something with teeth (walleye ,Muskie) dunno.Had a 6 point buck swim next to my boat once......LOVE IT 
Spanish Mackerel from Cooktown, Australia. Looks and acts a lot like a Wahoo. I just discovered this thread! Great!
Here is a 12 1/2lb catfish, bluegill and a crappie my son and i caught last spring. He was pumped up. He tried to reel in the catfish but it was a little to much for him. We ate good that night
Before the economy took a dump these guys were here every year.Maybe now they will return

Cant wait to see what you haul in next !! Theres a lot of different species in that lake, might pull up the lochness monster in that lake. Thanks for posting RTR show us some more when you catch um !! Nice feeding frenzy video too !! Sweet !!For the first 8 years (when we moved here) I took the boat out EVERY single day ,(rain/snow it didn't matter) sometimes twice a day.Over the years I've broken all kinds of tackle on Big fish.One monster,hit so fast & hard he yanked a brand new rod & reel out of my hands (no lie)
Sidevalve45, thers nothing more than I want to do than catch a sturgeon !! Its very high on my fishing bucket list. Had a couple chances and it didnt happen for me. It will happen for me, but I've got to make that happen sooner than later. Congrats on that beaut. I love the pic reminds me of my signature pic.
its the memories that count and today I got to make it happen for a father and son. No fish except a couple snappers all day. Then on the way back in I see a frigate bird diving on bait, we pull up, I cast a bait and BAM....hes on. Little pete battled the beast for an hour and 15 mins. It was an epic battle. Finally we get him up, and he had got tail wrapped and was dead when we got him up. This one also had a tag in him, which you get a reward for when you turn it in. On top of that we will mount this one for pete. Im smoking the fillets right now in the smoke house, almost done. When a fish is mounted I get a commission of 200$ from the taxidermy man !! Woo hoo !!
she was all of 89 inches from tip to tip. Im guessing 55-65 pounds, bigger than average. Heres my man scotty for size comparison !!
you guys see that smile on scottys face !! And he didnt even go out fishing with us. Its not the size of the fish its the size of the smile that counts !!
