Other Species Latest Catch Pics Thread

Spent a week in gulfport Mississippi with my gf at her dads house. Most of the trout were caught on live shrimp and snagged a few on shrimp swimbaits. Caught the lady fish off an island in the gulf pulled so hard for its size. My gf learned how to use a cast net and caught 22 prawns. Got back to maryland and grilled all the fish and shrimp. Caught my first black drum and first redfish.

Been a good spring for the big warmouths. Another good one pitching a beaver into the grass on Thursday.

The local river finally got down enough to fish and the hot weather had me itching to do some catfishing, so I went and caught some fat little blue cats, it was a good time.

The largest tributary to the great Lakes, just off Erie was very good to me this spring. For me this year I had 6 solid weeks of limits nearly every day on the Walleye.  Even though the limit is only 4 per day, but seldom taking more than an hour or two to get em, and who leaves when your catchen fish, even if your limited,,,, then it's catch and release time.. That's just fishing between sunup and staying as late as 2 or 3pm, fished at least 5 days a week mid March thru the end of April, and the freezer is stocked! This was about the average limit,, till the last week of April, then 18"-20" was about all you could find. Still f=good eaters, and them last 7 to 10 days fish were everywhere, easily catching over 30 a day.

It was a rough 6 weeks and get's tougher every year,, but thats what the river bank was made for,,,, a place fer us old geezers to sneak in a power nap,,, something I used to never need!

Hit the lake for bass opener in zone 17 and ended up with this musky, gave a great account of itself on my crankbait setup.

Nice Muskie, they sure are a blast to catch on light tackle.

Nice catches. One of my dive buddies showed me a picture of a +200 pound Wels catfish that he caught freedive spearfishing while on vacation. He said he gave the fish away to some locals since these fish don't taste good when they get big.

Your friend is a braver man than i am...  going after this behemoths underwater with a spear gun! I´ve seen +200 pound Wels swimming in the shallows in a few ocasions while i was bass fishing and let me tell you... it´s one intimidating sight (i think scary is a better word)!

Any well trained spearfisherman can handle a fish of that size, especially if there are no other predators to worry about. I often spear groupers in areas infested with bullsharks, that's much more dangerous than shooting a big catfish. With that said, I would prefer catching a wels catfish on rod and reel and leave the spearing for saltwater fish.
