1. Caught this guy right off of the bank, I actually thought it was a snag at first. It was late in the evening and my phone had just died. Luckily there was a good ...more semariton, pruning his bushes near by. He was even nice enough to take a pic and text it to my phone for me.

  2. I need to stop going out with 10% battery in my phone or night fish without a lantern or flash light. Or pull out my scale and discover that amidst the excitement ...more of my last catch, left it on and killed the batteries. Waiting till you have a brag worthy toad on your line to make this discovery definitely takes some wind outta your sails. Since I started this addiction that I call a hobby in 2015, I have missed my coveted fish selfie with roughly 6-8 fish and half of them weighed right around 5 lbs give or take. Which brings me to the focus of this post.... No its not a, "Double and Triple check your gear every time you go out" post.. This is a..."if you are starting to forget the feeling of having a hog on your line, dont stress. just go fishing by yourself and forget everything at home minus the rod n reel. This probably is mostly in my head, but it happens almost every time. Also, if I am with my buddies, I seem to catch way less with fewer bites. I attribute it to the distraction of having a familiar face to bs with while you cast. Anywho I just wanted to complain and ask if this happens to anyone else.

      No joke...I caught my biggest largemouth (24") and biggest striped bass (47") both on days i forgot my camera! And i almost NEVER forget my camera...go ...more figure! thankfully someone had crappy phone cameras to get the pic but the pics of both fish SUCK haha, better than nothing though i guess. still bothers me!
  3. This little volunteer jumped on my line, but a few casts later my phone died. And of course I hook up on a nice 3 lb toad and have no way to prove it..

  7. Caught this hungry lady sometime in September during a my hour lunch break, from work. I normally close so lunchtime often comes at dusk which is the perfect time. ...more There is a duck preserve right down the road from the Trader Joe's I work at that has a couple hidden gems. Some of my biggest fish have come out of this pond. A pond that many of my fishing buddies swore was barren and gave me rations for "wasting my time". The picture doesn't do it any justice but she was a toad.
