Really good early in the year before the water warms.  They are firmer than perch but as summer gets heated they get a little bit mushy like crappie without the crappie taste.

Normally a big walleye hookset leads to loose hooks in torn mouth, but you just are hooking them deep in the hard roof...just watch a bass fisherman and do that you seldom ever loose a fish and you will struggle to get the jig out!  No wimpy rods and braid!

 I miss fishing with you Justin.  I am glad you are posting.  I call this "Vicariously".  Thank you!

I am not sure your set ups but I was dropping a lot of fish with mono drop shotting. I changed to superslick main with a ~6-10 ft flouro Seagur and it improved greatly my hook up to land ratio.  It is so good that I just reel perch, bluegill, and crappie.  All of the give is on a light rod and zero stretch in the line.  I have not yet fished your Keitechs yet but will give them a try.  I just haven't felt like turkey hunting or fishing this year with current climate - that's a big first for me.

Get a grill for the boat. It is a thing.  Try not to blow yourself up.

I am sitting here thinking about how hungry I would have to be to eat raw salmon from lake O and I skipped breakfast and I still can't picture it.

I enjoy your posts

There are a lot of mice this year.  I was wondering if this is why I haven't seen much activity.

Any psychologists on here?  I was just thinking you could psychoanalyze a person by how they use YouTube.  That would make a good college course.

I like to watch regional fishing videos and guess where they are at and at what time of year.  I also like watching the Florida fishing channels with the ladies wearing bikinis.  I know they were on boats and I think they had fishing poles but don't ask me what they were using or what they were catching.  I don't remember that part.

There are some people on here that would be fun watching and listening too.  Some old and some young.  A lot of talent on this site. 

My belief is predators were a bigger factor to pheasant loss.  Birds of Prey made a strong recovery from DDT and fox from fur trade collapse.  Grouse are affected too and they are native. 

One of my most memorable nights was so dark you couldn't see the horizon, we would throw the sticks out into the rapids and just listen for the slurp.  It seemed like every cast for 30 minutes one of us had a hook up.  Those are some nice fish.  This weather pattern holds and we should have a very good close this year.  Thanks for posting.

Thanks Bill.  I thought it was obvious.

Amazing how these threads turn political.  I mean really - I want a plastic straw.

Guy is unethical - deserves punishment afforded to him by law and lets stop there.  Taking it further just offends someone else.

Ditto but I would say an Atlantic.  How did it fight?  Head shakes or violent runs?

here we go!

October = I wish I had more time to hunt.

December = I think the season is too long.

I wouldn't worry about it getting blown out.  I took someone hiking thru the brush and climbing down embankments (once) who likes to fish.  They haven't been back since - even in the day time.  These aren't those worn down trout salmon stream trails.  People like to think they want to do it, until they do it.

Like I said before, it is the drive home that keeps me from doing it anymore.  Congrats on your fish Justin.  I still remember my first (and only) 30 incher. 

Haha - fun loving

Can you use your regular season buck tag during muzzleloader?

A: Your Regular Season deer tag cannot be used in the Early Bowhunting* or Early Muzzleloading seasons. It can only be used in the Regular Deer Seasons in the Northern and Southern Zones to take a buck. ... During the late seasons, the Regular Season deer tag is valid for deer of either fun loving.

I had a dream last night that a nice buck came out and I shot it.  I reloaded and as I was walking towards the first buck, an even bigger buck came out and I shot that too.  The dream is far from reality but my question is:  "If you have your regular season tag and your bow/muzzy tags is it legal to shoot two buck in muzzleloader season"?

BTW in my dream they were slammers - sorry no pics.  I don't know how to upload them.

I couldn't even finish watching the video.  I also am interested in the outcome.

Rob, is that an illusion or is there a critter in the tree? (2nd pic)

I got home and was outside doing chores at 4pm yesterday.  Only shot I heard was at 5.07 which I thought was a little late to be shooting.

Last night was 5.05pm
