My favorite is the stuff they find in shark's stomachs (paint cans, license plates, etc.). Looking back at some of Colin's pictures I think he's me beat pretty good.

Haha Eric that's funny! Just because Colin's older than me doesn't mean I'll eventually beat him. Some people spend their whole lives chasing the big one under the dock.

Sounds like words from the wise Adam.Go give your ol' man a pat on the back.
:biggrin:
Eric
Will do Eric. For me it's not so much just the big one under the dock, it's the big trout that never seems to be hungry the morning you go trolling:(
The "BIG ONE"
I didn't catch it but netted it with a 30" net which being on a 15.5" bass boat thought was plenty for the 8 lb walleye and small pike we had been catching...this one weighed 24lbs and measured just over 44"...it was a beast, best part was when it was in the boat it looked all that much fiercer! The kid in the picture does radio sports here locally and is about 6'4"! The fish is proudly mounted at his dad's office!

We dont call him Super C for nothing.
I have probably hitch-hiked more miles than some people will drive ... Moved well over 100 times in my life.Drove truck,limo and rental car service.Now lets talk some mileage bro.
:tank:
Eric
All hail Indy! That is a huge pike! The pike in my picture is only about half that size (21 in.). If anyone's ever been up to the 1000 islands, I caught my pike right off the side of Boldt Castle.
Adam,
1000 Islands rock, such a beautiful fishery up there, my neighbor has a 31" 13 lb Walleye mounted from Wolf's Island, they go late May and say it is absolutely a must. I've only dock fished there and I witnessed some of the days catches come in and there are some spectacular fish. It used to be the #1 Musky Spot in the US back in the 40's & 50's when it was known as 'Playboy's Paradise"!
Colin
The 1000 islands are really beautiful, especially when you get out in the middle of nowhere and are just drifting for smallies. My dad and I were also lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a muskie swimming by the boat and the damage that those things can do (on a couple bass we caught we found some nasty looking bite marks).
We have here a better pair of fishermen than I ever will be in this lifetime.
Hats off men! :001_rolleyes:
Eric
I wouldn't say that Eric, success in fishing is not necessarily based off of how well you did or have done in the past, you are a successful fisherman if you have never caught one fish in your lifetime as long as you have happy memories of family and friends from the times that you went fishing. Just my feelings though.

I wholeheartedly agree.
Eric
We drift for smallies here at the mouth of the Niagara, with 3 guys in the boat it is not uncommon to nab 20-25 apiece!
We use soft shelled crayfish and live minnows on 3-ways, also tube jigs and worm harnesses will work, but lo and behold be ready for galvanized pike...aka sheepshead as well!!!
Damn gobies too!
Damn gobies
No gobies in Keuka...yet:(. I have been surprised to find that at least in Keuka smallies will hit top water if tempted correctly. If you don't believe me just ask my beat to snot Rapala Skitter Pop;).

Too funny, I have had the pleasure of pitching more shutouts than Nolan Ryan, just ask the 9 guys in my Salmon/Trout Derby that came up with an entire 0-fer Saturday!!!
The Golden Sombrero...times 3!!!
Most of the time it's persnal solitude and just 'being there."
Colin
zracer...have you fished Otisco and Ostego?
No, I have not. Are they good fishing spots? If they are and they have Lake Trout or Walleye my dad and I might have to make a trip over to them.
It might be good to make the trip with your dad even if they dont have them
Never know till you try ...
Eric
That's true. I guess I just don't want to end up with a bucket full of pan fish and nothing else, as fun as catching panfish is.
Panfish aren't so bad, but remember where there are panfish there are fish that eat panfish
Nature.
Eric
That may be true, however if there are panfish there would at least technically be bass because bass are classified as a part of the panfish family. As said by the guy in that Thomas Dolby song, "SCIENCE!"

I would make a Beetles joke, but I must respect the white flag.
Ever go fishing for Piranha ... :scared:

No, I personally have not, however I have seen others do it. They really don't seem like all that viscious of a fish in reality, but if you've ever seen the James Bond with the weird cat guy...
If you've seen the wierd cat guy you've seen eric :001_tt2:
Just kidding
I raised Piranha.Not a good idea to stick your hand in a tank full of hungry ones ...
How about the Oscar ...
Eric

I had an oscar but he was a grouch
My Oscar ended up green and living in a garbage can. :offtopic: Has anybody ever made a trip to the Ocean for some sweet sea bass?
When i was a kid, after the movie jaws came out, i remember going to places seeing great white sharks that were on ice that had been caught on a hook, them were some big fishes
I have never had the pleasure of catching a shark myself, but my dad once scared everybody off the beach when he caught a bonnet head shark. They aren't all that big but they're still a shark with teeth all the same.
Hey Adam,
Robert is just making me laugh so its fun ... :lol:
Here is a Great White Shark .... :flowers:
