  1. @FryDog62 I bet that experience was worth the entire bottle of Advil though. Beautiful fish!
  2. TMI, Murph...TMI. 🤣
  3. Your videos are always great A-Jay, but this may be your best yet...and what makes it great has nothing to do with that monster pike. Glad you are able to have such a special day. Hopefully, with more to come.
  4. Chuck Norris calls @T-Billy for Muskie fishing tips.
  5. Wow! 75 in one day?! That's a good year for some. Congrats on a great day!
  6. Alabama...which is why I never expected to see them here.
  7. @roadwarrior Looks like a good list to me. I got a couple of strong follows with a spook, but no bites. My most productive lure recently has definitely been a brush hog in root beer pepper green. I also caught a couple slow rolling a silver & gold swim jig with a sexy shad paddle tail trailer a couple weekends ago. Good luck! Man, I wish I could go with y'all.
  8. Unfortunately not. I didn't get to go today. I would've called you if I'd caught those today. 🤣
  9. I've always thought of seeing the northern lights as a bucket list item. I never thought I'd see if from my driveway. It is an impressive event.
  10. Finally got to fish a little. Caught 4 little ones, all about this size. All were caught on the same color brush hog. Brush hog - 4, every other lure - 0. The good news is that it broke a three trip skunk streak.
  11. At least half of the fish I catch are caught from the bank of a highly pressured lake. There are plenty of days when I catch nothing, but some days it pays off nicely. Here are a couple nice ones that I caught on my lunch break. Even if I don't catch a fish on my lunch break trips, I still get fresh air, and exercise. Can't beat that.
  12. Sounds like a great day! As always, you got some beautiful shots of your surroundings.
  13. Wow…just wow!
  14. Wow, what a day! Congrats!
  15. Congrats on getting permission to fish there. I have a spot that is similar to yours. I've been told that I'm the only non-family member that fishes there. I like to test new techniques/lures so that I can get a feel for how they work when I go there. When I first started fishing this spot I tried to fish it very slowly to learn what's under the water. It helped me to find the best spots to concentrate on. Hopefully the next suggestions will seem like common sense to you, but it's not for everyone. I would recommend not doing anything to lose the privilege of fishing there. Never leave trash behind, clean up any you find, offer to help around the property if you are able, and offer the owner a token of appreciation to let them know you are grateful to be allowed to fish there. I've given my person a gift card, helped clear brush off the property, and I always take time to speak to the grandkids if they come around (which has taken my entire fishing session a time or two 😇). One time I hooked a fish, and let the kid reel it in. I got more pleasure from the kid's reaction than I would have from reeling in the fish myself. Also, you will want to see how the owner feels about keeping fish. Some want you to keep them, and some don't. I usually catch and release there, but one time I kept some catfish to eat so I sent them a plate. Courtesy, respect, & kindness go a long way.
  16. Congrats on that Muskie @throttleplate! Awesome fish!
  17. @king fisher The fish @A-Jay catches are probably big enough to see from space. 🤣 Hiding from satellite coverage can get pretty complicated.
  18. You only experience this at night? I have that feeling all the time. 🤣
  19. I've heard that they taste like candy...if you're a catfish! 🤣
  20. I'd probably throw a light, slow falling soft plastic like a senko.
  21. That’s brilliant, @MN Fisher! Thanks for sharing.
  22. Love it! You know it's a special day when A-Jay gets giddy! Congrats, again! I feel a strong urge to go buy a jerkbait! 🤣
  23. Wow! Congrats on an amazing day! @A-Jay is the chosen one... ps - It's "a day" for you, but that would be a lifetime for most of us. Amazing!
