[wendigo]

And a little earlier in the season

[cascade pinner]

Sport caught black cod? Never seen one that big in less than 100 fathoms....how deep were you?

[wendigo]

330 ftm... We set a 150 hook personal use long line. That was a 21yr old.

Snuck out early to go here

So I could sleep here

And eat a LOT of this

To do this

Did you work on some project to move a bridge in Utah a few years ago? I think there were something like 56 sets of motorized, wheeled jacks involved.

[dfinn]

close encounters of the 3rd kind

[schwerty]

Don't you guys know it 2015?

Thx for the stoke! It's -9 in jh right now. A little too cold to wet a line

[jgb@etree]

Cool thread. I spend most of my time fishing saltwater, but here's a pic of my son in 2014 (4yo) after reeling in his first fish:



Quite a monster! Funny enough, he caught it on a lure that my dad bought for me when I was 6 or 7 to fish in the pond next to the house I grew up in. 30 years later my son is using the same lure to catch his 1st fish. Cool stuff.

[dfinn]

anyone know what this is? I thought it was a milkfish but it doesn't match photos online. saltwater whitey? Whatever it was, it put a hurting on my 8wt.

Billy Ray Cyrus's haircut.

Billy Ray Cyrus's haircut.

Yup, sure dang is. All sorts of party in the back. For some reason I didn't think they got very big. Dude was strong.

yep thats a smoker size mullet not the standard bait sized finger mullet. they are supposed to be vegetarians and not eat meat so getting one on a fly is probably pretty rare...

[dfinn]

the way it ate my fly was pretty weird, it ate it with it's face instead of it's mouth.

I really didn't know what they were but they were making a ton of racket on the surface and jumping around. I thought maybe they were chasing bait fish so I threw my fly into the middle of the action.

The kid didn't want to hold her after seeing her teeth, but he landed his first walleye ice fishing. Kid is spoiled now...29" and just under 9lbs. Not bad for his first walter.

[schwerty]

That's a damn fine walleye, HFB! Congrats to your kid!

[DeathVan]

I took a flyer and have been gone (often fishing) for the last ~7 months.

Here's a couple from Summer and Fall and then again Summer of 2014.

































Then I went here, more later














It is a happy place

[teleee]

Deathvan for the motherfucking win! Dude, I wondered where you had disappeared to. Welcome back and thanks for bringing the stoke!
Can we close this bitch up and kick off 2015 now?

[montanamike]

Holy cow DeathVan, you slayed 2014! Sick pics, stoked to see ya for a minute!

[schwerty]

Wow! That makes my summer and fall look like preschool fishin'.
