I left my own lunch box at work so I had to borrow my toddler's.

Definitely made the day better.

That's a beauty.

Love the lunch box - that’s winning right there!
Isn’t it time for someone to fire up the 2023 pic-o-Rama ?

Oh man I totally forgot it was 2023! Which is funny since I went fishing on the first.

Yes, yes it is. I went out for the first time today. I went to the closest fishing access to home, just upstream from the mouth of the Bitterroot, and went several hours without a bite, then I had a friendly conversation with another fisherman, started feeling better, changed my rig from a streamer to my trusty worminator with an indicator, and on the first cast, I landed a 16" whitefish, which put up a respectable fight.

That’s a northern pikeminnow, not a whitefish.

Orly, well I'd never caught either before, so my ignorance is showing. I didn't even know there were Northern Pikeminnows in MT, I've heard of them in the Columbia. It was certainly a fighter.

We used to catch them on the Bitterroot...used to be called something else (ha ha). Been there forever...

Again, ignorance. At this point, I don't know if I've ever caught a whitefish, I thought I had a couple times before, but they might have been tiny pike minnows (didn't take pics). I just started fishing in Montana at the end of last summer.
