  1. This is Awesome stuff ; no one is topping this all year
  2. 33) White Sucker, I got this Sucker Sunday. I got bit almost immediately. I fished another hour and never had another fish. Crazy. Edit: one step forward, be step back. A lifer, but now I have to see if I've ever gotten a Black Redhorse
  3. As long as y'all both left Trigger alone, I don't care.
  4. 32) Ozark Darter I caught over by a dozen darters this weekend and several were Ozarks, but I'm taking poetic license and using this pic from Sunday. The last Darter I caught.
  5. I'm fine with whatever anyone wants to do. On my list, I'm not doing sub-types of SMB, but I might do a geographically isolated sub species of trout. I will count a recognized hybrid like SaugEye but not the dozens of sunfish natural hybrids.
  6. 31) Rainbow Darter The struggle was REAL for a long time, but I improved technique and got more patient. Still way harder than bass fishing
  7. Beautiful Fish. darn Covid cost me my chance at those. For now
  8. Trashy water works against you in a lot of ways. I think the fish fill their bellies on food and algae. Your line and lures stay trashed all day. The trout can't see very far in the debris filled water. I look for the cleanest water I can and cuss a whole lot more.
  9. Well, I wish they would. Something else to try to catch, but natural predation, delayed mortality during Catch and Release, and people keeping them to eat are going to take their toll on that 2500.
  10. You should also plan on replacing tires routinely. Like maybe every 4-5 years. Not a mileage issue.
  11. Lane is a Good Fisherman. No Shame in being bested by him Plus I think you enjoy seeing him do well. Lane did really well fishing with me and I was giving his gear serious side eye. I know he was using mono and I don’t think he had upgraded the rod yet. I remember thinking that he would be outfishing me if he had the right gear.
  12. Is there any plan to stock more that you have heard of. I’m afraid I’m gonna miss out since I’m all over the board where I am fishing these days. Not a lot of days on the White right now.
  13. 30) Autumn Darter female ; I've gotten better at finding and catching darters ; I have some room to improve on identifying them
  14. 30) Autumn Darter (Etheostoma puntulatum) Male The expert has spoken.
  15. 29) Pealip Redhorse (Moxostoma pisolabrum) I don't know if it's a time of year deal or what, but I got a couple of these relatively easily compared to my struggles in the past.
  16. 28) Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio) pretty good pull on an Airstream complicated by being shorebound. I missed out on a Crooked Creek sleigh ride.
  17. I can and will be Glad to learn from anybody. I’m always trying to improve. I just believe that for you to call yourself a novice with a fly rod is NOT accurate. I feel like I am an experienced beginner.
  18. You Da Man! Great Trip
  19. Some many GREAT options for fishing poles nowadays compared to when I was growing up. Enjoy the gear guys. Try not to go broke trying for the very best when you are surrounded by excellent products everywhere you turn
  20. Now you're just rubbing it in
