...or whatever you want to call the big ones lol. Thanks to the help of this board we have made a lot of progress in our fishing especially with our limitations of shore or canoe fishing. The last two weekends I have been out in the saltwater with some friends. Caught up some trout, mahi and kingfish along with the usual junk fish lol. This weekend we stuck to residential ponds since water everywhere else is moving. I did catch up a few although I think the biggest was only 2#. I will find the big one one day!

Looking for a what?? glad to hear your getting them!

like the fish face! Seems you are having fun, and that is what it is all about!

Hahahha I was referring to this thread http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/100127-names-for-big-bass/page__st__45__p__1109572__hl__+names#entry1109572 . I really enjoyed reading it and combined my favorite names lol.

Looking back I think I laughed out loud when I read slobapotamus and then there was slobasaurus...so I ended up with slobapotamus rex rofl...

Haha cute fishy face pic though I think that should be profile pic most definatley !! Fits your bubbly personality lol well since I've talked to you that's how you seem and good luck catching those slobapotamuses )

At least you caught dolphins and kings, trout aren't bad either, those may have been photo worthy pictures. There seems to be a misconception of what a junk fish is in the brine, so many of them are great sport, or good eating, and make great bait, as long as there are legal of course.

I DO have photos of those too. I failed to mention my junk fish lol. Let me start by saying Friday I was affectionately termed the "cat lady". I was fishing exactly the same set up as everyone else. They were catching trout and I was catching...catfish...a lot of them :/ People switched positions with me, switched poles with me, I fished the same way they did...cats. It was ridiculous. My redeeming moment was that I caught the most variety of fish on the boat that day. Cats, Jacks, Trout (no keepers that day of course) and Ladyfish. Saturday I made an announcement to the group that all day I wanted to catch cats...trout were common and crappy. I caught the first trout of the day, a sand trout and caught my keeper trout for the day and NO cats lol. The coolest thing I caught was a 30 inch bonnet head shark. That was a blast.

Like this one.........

Like this one.........

Exactly!

Here are my salties...My Mahi, Bonnet head and Trout. I didn't get a pic with the bonnet head because we had a child on the boat who unfortunately got scared by a wild trout that hit him in the chest when someone was holding it so I was afraid of doing the same with the shark lol.

I like your pic better than mine

I like your pic better than mine

Jeff

Psh your mahi is bigger! I will take that any day lol.

She is much prettier for sure!!!

Jeff

I made sure to get a pic asap before she lost her color. Surprisingly the color held pretty well on mine because she was still colored up when we got her to the dock.

No I meant you are prettier than he is! LOL You obviously are well grounded as well!

Hhahaha grounded...maybe...potentially oblivious...that's possible too LOL thank you.

Keep at it girl the big ones will come!

Fishingator,

Keep at it. There's a bunch of +5lb fish @ Holiday Park, Lox, and some of the local ponds/canals. Keep chucking baits at em and it's a matter of time.

Some of those species really lose their color, some turn brown. It happens both during the fight and also when we have them sitting on ice, doesn't always make for a good picture. Many of the nice fish I catch are caught on smaller boats 21-24' center console, these boats do not have much storage space, photos become hard to take with gear, clothing, nets. gaffs and crap cluttered around, not to mention fish thrashing, we take very few pics out there. Most of my friends don't care about pics, they don't even have a camera, just me and I always don't take it.

I've got some fish in my gallery that have turned brown, check out the sailfish.

I just got a deal on a boat at holiday park...$37 for five hours...thought that was pretty good. It is good until October.

Yea I hear ya. That was the first thing I yelled was someone get my phone lol. You should see I have a pic of it thrashing on the boat because da** it I was getting a picture lol. We were on the same type of boat and I did notice the side that was ice down in the cooler lost more color than the side that was with other fish that were caught. I "thought" their color was a product of neurotransmission so it faded when they got stressed or died although I never researched that...it was what I was told. That is why I was so surprised this one still had color at the dock. I will always take pictures...gives me something to look at when I am working and would rather be fishing lol

IMO dolphins are a magnificent looking fish, maybe my favorite, and can put up one hell of a fight, I don't catch too many of them anymore as we mainly fish water 80-150', as rule dolphin are in deeper water, look for the weedline or floating debris.

When I moved to Florida 9 years ago a disc with a number of my fishing trips and vacations got lost forever, wish I had. I do have quite a few hard albums full of fishing pics, been here 9 years and haven't opened the box, lol....gotta scan some of those pics one day.
