Congrats Phil. Job well done!

Hear lots of stories about live scope. Folks not even fishing till they find the specie and size they are looking for through the scope. Doesn't really seem like fishing to me anymore. More like a video game. I've always enjoyed finding fish on different lakes at different times of the year. Time on the water and past history and experience helped in the search. Now a feller just needs a scope. Add a robot to present the bait and a few more electronics and a guy can sit at home in his recliner and virtual fish.

Anyone know the water clarity and temp around the 45 mm? I'm guessing dirty and mid 50's.

Obviously you didn't fish it sloooooow enough.😊

Got a price in mind?

More and more fishing is becoming a video game. Go to waypoint, find the fish on the graph and get your bait down to it. Watch the fish eat and crank him in. Less like fishing every day. Don't forget to turn on your your hydrowave to put em in the mood to feed.

Nicely done.

Used to fish Caplinger all the time. Haven't been in years. Used to hammer the big crappie, whites, and an occasional walleye and hybrid. I remember driving over the bridge. Always thought building a restaurant on the old mill site would be a great idea.

Call ICE

Not sure that it would hold up in Court.

Sounds like a perfect time for a Big Trout Bash.

I'd like to see MDC argue against one of the measuring stickers they provide to thousands of people.

Great story and video. What a fish. Congrats.

Otter

Ya'll have been quiet the last couple days. Everyone go on a diet? 😊

Two of my buddies bought CZ shotguns. Neither one happy. The first already got rid of his. The second has had cycling issues with his autoloader from the the first shot. Many conversations with CZ and many parts changes and he still has a single shot. It will be returned. Only two guys I know that bought a CZ. Doubt I'll be getting one.

Looks like a good time. Congrats.

How stable is that setup? The elevated seat would seem to make it more prone to roll.

Great pics. Looks like ya'll had fun.

Salmon sounds good for tomorrow night's dinner. Here is my go to recipe. Grilled Maple-Dijon Salmon 4 (4 oz.) Salmon Fillets or one 16 oz. Fillet (skin on) 1/4 cup maple flavored syrup or pancake syrup 2 TBSP Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard 1 TSP Minced Garlic 1/4 TSP Ground Ginger 1/8 TSP Ground Cayenne Pepper 1 TBSP Olive Oil Combine syrup, mustard, garlic, ginger, and pepper. Refrigerate several hours to allow flavors to blend. Brush salmon with oil and place on a medium-high heat grill Grill approximately 4 minutes per side or until salmon flakes easily with a fork. Brush frequently while cooking with the syrup mixture.

I failed to get a reservation as well

Classic video.

Happy Birthday Phil! I turn 58 the same day. Got to get down there and meet you sometime.

Wish they were left handed.

A .22 round in the head will take care of the otter. Bring more rounds in case there are otter ones.😃
