Nope

I'm glad added more line to my reel earlier this year. If I hadn't he would have spooled me.

I hadn't fished in a bit over a week so my brother and I decided to go to a power plant on Chequamegon Bay. My brother and I each caught one about the same size. It could've eaten any other trout I had ever caught before it. Always fun to catch on a light rod with 6 pound line. Here's the pic.

My brother Devinfishing29. He hasn't been on here in forever but he's my brother so I would rather fish with him than anyone else. I actually went fishing with him yesterday.

I was only 12 when this picture was taken so the fish is smaller then it might look. LOL

I caught this trout from shore on lake superior and I don't know what it is. I think it's a brook trout but I'm not sure.

A couple days ago I did some fishing at a small lake that I have not caught as many and as big of fish in as previous years. I ended up catching 7 bass with the biggest being 18 inches. Unfortunately both the 18 incher and a 17 incher I caught were skinny. I caught all but 2 of the fish on wacky rigged stick worms. I also caught 1 on a texas rigged ribbontail worm and 1 on a whopper plopper 130 (my first fish on a whopper plopper). The one on the whopper plopper was only like 10 inches long. I also had a pike strike the whopper plopper 5 times before I finally hooked it, but it got away. Overall a very fun day of fishing.

After reading through a few posts I knew bigfoot would come up somewhere.

I recently got a 130 in the chubby color. I have only taken a few casts with it in a lake I had only fished once before. I really like the action and can't wait for some monster bass to blowup on it.

While some trips I hardly catch anything last saturday I was getting bites in ever 3/5 casts. One time I got four bites in 1 cast. Only problem was the average size was under 10 inches and the biggest was a 15 inch one that was super skinny. I was fishing a Stik-O and one cast a bass pulled it off the hook and while I was reeling the hook in a bass struck. The next day fishing was rather slow. I only caught a bunch of dinks. Some days are slow, Some day are really slow, and some days aren't slow.

I have never been hook bad yet. Probably will happen soon

Before reading the other post I also thought it was a largemouth.

IMO if you should use a wire leader depends on how many pike there are, and what lures your using. If there aren't very many pike then you won't get many bites from them and not every time you get a bite from a pike will it bite you off and if you are using some baits which pike don't eat as often you will have a less chance of bite offs. I think the best idea would be to try not using a wire leader and if your getting too many bite offs than use one. Just my opinion.

I don't think anything is Junk fish other than maybe ones that are hurting the environment.

I know exactly how many bass I have caught this year but i'm to lazy to look it up so I just guessed.
