Some of these were food, many were released to fight another day! All from this year!

WOW

 

I know it's fun just catching and releasing, and I have no problem withthat , but , Dang I'd love to have some of that in my freezer

 

 

 .

 

[hardwater]

I typically don't freeze fish.  I fish a ton, so I usually just keep a couple and eat them fresh.  

Every now and then, I'll keep  a possession limit and have a fish fry with friends, usually only do that a couple times of year.

destined for peanut oil at 350!

The right fishery, at the time I pull out some freezer fair and have some big fish fry's.  The pike I like to pickle, some good stuff for a few beers and a tube of crackers!

Biggest Redfish caught about 3 months ago

Not sure about the weight of either one but both were released to spawn and make more fish

 

[smoke break]

Some great catches there! I rather sit on the ice than in a boat any day! Check out a facebook page called...Hardwater Fanatics. Tight Lines to ya this hard water season.

Nice fish Jeremy!  I hear you on release, I really do release most of my fish, those piles came from fisheries that aren't well known or are commercially fished and huge bodies of water and we've done it for years and the fishing has actually improved with bigger catches.

Smoke break! I hear you on the ice, I love being out on my boat(old boat, sold 5 days ago, moving to Alaska, need a different one) but the ice is where I'm really at home, I should be finding some walkable stuff in 6 weeks.

Nice Fish fellas. Never caught any fish like those. The biggest I've ever caught was a 48lbs channel cat on a trot-line with my dad and little brother a few years back. Here in Mo it's usually catfish, bass, crappie, and bluegill on the menu here.

Here's a few that we've caught recently...

Me and my oldest, who's 4 years old, with a little bass I'm about to throw back...

a successful run at a local pond. Catfish, Frog Legs, Onion Rings, Sweet Potato Fries, and some

Crisscross fries for the kids...

Kids fishing 

  That is one heck of a fish fry!!

Hatebreed that walleye has some awesome color!  I go up to Kississing in MB every summer and they are dark but not that like that.  I sure love those green backs in Winnipeg too.
