Gone Fishin' ...

Bonnets are cool, like hamerheads. When i was a lad i was in the boyscouts and our scout master built fishing boats, which would take us to catalina island which is 26 miles across the sea, on one trip i asked the guys for some shark jaws, they normally caught swordfish. They told me they'd have one for me when they picked us up. When it got time to leave the boat was there but it had broke its motormounts, so we had to go back on the normal boat, but they had a blue sharks head for me, they gave me the head in a plastic bag but they had cut the jaws out because it was still snapping, so here i am walking around with a sharks head in avalon, i remember some girls asking me what was in the bag, and when i showed them the eyes were still moving.

That's really awesome! I wonder what broke the motormounts... dun dun, dun dun

I dont remember it's been 30+ years

Well I guess it wasn't a shark cause you would remember that! Those must have been some decent sized jaws that you got considering they came from a blue shark.

Blues aint that big, maybe 8" to ten across.

Up date just got the lures packed up, tomorrow after work i'll hit the post office and get them sent out to all of you it is alotof work so hopefully you guys will like them, i dont want no carp from that bozo guy either! :biggrin: please understand in my way of thinking these are purely fishing lures, my higher grade ones are larger, have tack or glass eyes, etc. Dont get me wrong they are nice hopefully they'll arrive safely. Maybe you guys can post pics when you get them

At 8" that shark could still swallow my hand!

I have to get that movie now! Funny story that kinda goes along with that poster. I was once fishing old school style with a worm and bobber and I left my pole alone for a second to get some more worms and when I came back my pole was gone! :mad: I looked around and finally found it sitting on the bottom of the lake! Luckily I had a rake handy and was able to fish my pole out of the water. Lo and behold on the end of the line was a tiny little 3 inch bluegill. Now how is a 3 inch bluegill able to pull a fishing pole off a dock and into the water? Someone please explain this to me.

No sharks where I live so these will have to do, I tried fly fishing just too much work for me, but one of my best buds does quite a bit locally and also has a cabin down on the Delaware River...here's a nice trout...

My grandfather and one of his pals used to fly fish with michael landon (pa from little house on the prarie) they sure loved the trout

Adam you should have seen the one that got away

Ok guys anyway in the city of long beach, at eldorado park there is a nature center, in the stream, lake/pond they have some big bass, and big bluegill, the reason theyare so big is if you get caught catching bluegill its a $500 fine, thefine for bass is $500 per fish, and the rangers take your stuff, in area 2 ofthe same park they stock the lake with trout and catfish, species determined by the time of the year, on a cell phone i used to own i had a picture of two catfish a gent had caught, that were as long as my leg, they also have bass in that lake because i have seen ospreys carry them off, i work in the park system so i see this stuff all of the time. When i started there, there were hardly any canadian geese except what you could buy at the liquor store, now we have lots of them, the wild life is getting crazy, racoons, opposums, skunks and coyotes are being seen at mid day, some of you may say big deal, except that this park is in a city, it is really a nice place to work

So, anyway, i every year i take my daughter to the fred hall fishing show, they have a trout pool where the kids can catch trout, while she was standing there trying to catch the tired trout, i wondered can i grab a trout? Well i did catch a trout with one hand, my daughter screamed and made me wash my hands. Top that super c, adam

[B][SIZE=4]ive been a fisherman since i was 7 years old. its one of the greatest gifts ever given to me as a child! i live 15 minutes from donner lake and 25 minutes from tahoe so my boat gets alot of use. to me theres not much like it . cant imagine life without it.[/SIZE][/B]

Sounds like you get to catch the big ones

I can't top getting a trout with my hands, but while I was swimming at the lake I almost netted a blugill. I don't mean by the dock or chasing it to the shore, I mean in open water. I would have caught it too had the darn thing not jumped to avoid my net.

[SIZE=3]the trout and mackinaws are killer in donner as well as the kokanees. for the big macks a downrigger is almost a must but i got two on the boat. give it a try[/SIZE]

Eric great video! Love the giant laker at 3:20. I also have to get one of those fish snagging dogs. That one dog did better than I have ever done at fishing streams in 2 minutes where I have been going to my local stream and still haven't caught any after 2 years! At least I haven't been nailed by any fish yet like that poor guy at 4:34.:D

Im a Doggie Lover too Adam ... :001_tt1:

Never heard of Mackinaws...are they in the trout family? Looks like it by the pic...kind of like a Coho Salmon?

[B][SIZE=3]yes mackinaws are in the trout family. unlike rainbows and browns they are very elusive and hard to hook up. you almost have to annoy them into biting.[/SIZE][/B]
[B][SIZE=3] these were caught trolling at about 70 ft using a luhr jensen t-spoon with a few drops of crawfish scent lunker lotion. these were only 4 or 5 pounds ive pulled 16 pounders out of both tahoe and donner . tahoes a little easier the fish are on the bite more.[/SIZE][/B]

I haven't Trout fished in almost 25 years...hmmmmmmmmmmm...
Thing is I don't like eating Trout, so I used to give it away when I lived in Mt Shasta, my co workers and neighbors loved me!!

And I love to relax while doing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pic is about 15 years old but the attitude is still the same.

I grew up on a ranch on the california Delta and fished every day after my chores were done.. Both of my sons grew up fishing and now my grandsons are learning the sport... I live on the calaveras river and fish a couple times a week.. I just can't get enough of it...lol How about a few pics?
Got this one five minutes walk from my back door..

A small mouth bass at New Hogans lake about 5 miles from my house..

Large mouth,same lake
[ATTACH=CONFIG]23529[/ATTACH]

Sweet looking fish, nice to catch smallies and large's in the same body of water! Here the smallies dominate the lake, but there is and abundant amount of largemouth in the bays, and dock areas. Sweet looking C-!0 there as well!!!

Colin

I go to New Hogan lake alot because it's only a five mile drive and also fish for land locked stripper.. The striper fishing on the delta is great but I won't eat them due to the high mercury levels.. With that said the fresh water strippers are the best but hard to land..

Like the fish but LOVE the truck.
