    The Big Hook, Live Bait, and Boats with Big Motors, and Big Fish Thread

    Got to go for a fun trip with the other captains. Overnighter hog city.
    Northern lights were crazy.

    Hard to tell but the halibut laying on the ground were between 50 and 80 pounds.

    Getting an engine inspection on this beast on Friday.
    We needed a bigger boat. Time to get my shark rods ready.

    Damn you weren't kidding! You did step your game up. I will have to come down and check that beauty out.

    I told you, I got 13ftitis. Deal was right, and the boat looks like it is off the showroom floor from 1996.
    Engines are 2 stroke, so a little suspect, but I didn't pay for them, so I'm gonna run 'em till their dead, and throw some 'Zukes on there some day.

    Come back down, maybe we'll catch something. No more shallows I'm afraid. She'll float in 2 ft of water, but my skinny days are over. Thinking about rigging up 2 paddle boards for fishing the flats. Park, launch, and fish. We'll see. Those things are pricey.

    Yup, 339 WA.
    No dive door though, which is the only box it didn't check.

    Pretty much the best combo of fishing/cruising/kid boat I could find.
    Outboards are a must here, so that did limit my choices.

    Deal is done tomorrow at 9.
    Cross your fingers for me please.
    I tend to over research and under pay. It has worked out so far.
    Hoping this one will be the same.
    It is a boat though.

    Fishy pics some day soon.

    I think you know the answer. Tarpon are here in May/June.
    I might have figured out how to drive this beast by then.

    Friend has a 37' Freeman with Quad 300 Yammies on it. Guess it qualifies. They dragged it to Venice, Louisiana and had a few good days. Here is the best.

    Quad 300? Jaysus. I met the principal for the Dallas Cowboy's marketing firm at a bar in Key West once. He had a very similar setup, drives it down from Miami for happy hour and back.

    Yep, back for another day. We fished 3 days and boated 24 stripers. Only 3 were under 40, that one was 52, five were 47 to 50, and the rest between 40 and 47. Doubt we will ever duplicate that day.

    Wow. When I lived in TN, getting one 30# striper was quite a successful fishing trip. Seems like nothing compared to those catch rates. I guess a lot has changed since I left. There's big trout in the tail waters instead of just put-n-take dinks. Huge stripers in quantities my old man would never dared dream of. And a trophy musky fishery threatening to crush all the old midwestern records. Do you ever go over to Melton Hill for musky?

    Holy fuck man! That's amazing numbers! Nice work!

    Yeah, we were very lucky. Typically in that river we figure if we get two a day we have done real well. Granted they will usually be in the 40 pound range, but it's tough fishing.

    Never done the musky trip. Keep threatening to, but never have. Have a friend of a friend that wears them out at the Bull Run steam plant in the winter, but I have never given it a shot. Need to.

    The brown trout in the South Holston are now all native as they haven't stocked any in the river in over 10 years. The close two sections in the winter breeding period that apparently produce all the trout needed. They are now saying based on sampling surveys that there are around 9,000 fish per mile in the river. Supposedly one of the best trout rivers east of the Mississippi. Local guide that is kind of hated got this one last night on a mouse patterned fly. Says it was over 30" and probably 15-16 pounds.

    We have a two week season here for paddlefish. Got a 50 and a 51 pounder. Both released to continue their mating rituals.

    Looks like a catfish that told too many lies. Best to throw it back.
