Members Charley Hart Posted December 7, 2006 Members Posted December 7, 2006 Well that fish on some days IMO is a trophy. Many of a bad day have I spent just practicing my casting and pulling in 3 inch blue gills. But you know on some of those "slow" days I would hook into ONE fish that would make it all worth while. I take a lot of flak up in KC fishing for warmwater species, but as I always tell people "Got to catch the big with the small..." Usually if they pay attention enough, they stop laughing...
LostMyWife Posted December 8, 2006 Author Posted December 8, 2006 Yep I took it's picture. had to have somehting to show for the weekend. Yes, I'm That Guy
gonefishin Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 Stick it on a hook and chuck it out. Them Creek Chubs is good bait. I would rather be fishin'. "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." Benjamin Franklin, 1759
LostMyWife Posted December 8, 2006 Author Posted December 8, 2006 GF I can't believe you are trying to get me arroested. If I did that in the trohpy area the other fishermen would drown me and the MDC would hall me off. Boy, you catch one little crrek chub and the forum turns against ya. Yes, I'm That Guy
Terry Beeson Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 Hmmmmm..... "But, Mr. Game Warden... I got this bite, you see.. and it felt pretty big at first, so I was fightin' him and lettin' him have slack, you see. And then, you know, well I can't fight big fish very well, so I was taking my time to be sure I could land him, right? So, like, well, he didn't FEEL that big by then, but I wasn't taking any chances, you see. And then, well, I was fightin' him and then this OTHER fish just ATE the one already on my fly, you see. And then, well, you know, I was like, WHOA, OK, NOW I have REALLY got a big one... And that's just what happened, officer... Really! Uh... you believe me, don't you?"

LostMyWife Posted December 8, 2006 Author Posted December 8, 2006 Terry I can only assume that you are speaking from personal experience. I am sure you would not give me bad advice or advice that would get me thrown in MDC jail, right? Yes, I'm That Guy
