Nice fish, GREAT pic!

 

 

 

 

3 crappie caught yesterday along with about a dozen bluegill not pictured. Biggest of the 3 was approximately 12 inches.

Biggest Brook Trout of the year. On a Ned Rigged TRD I was slow rolling of all things. First time for everything.

 

First fish I ever caught on the megadog. 

 

I just keep catching everything lately.

 

Finally found my first couple wipers of the year. 

 

 

 

Had a couple channel cat eat a square bill the other day

Caught my first AZ walleye from a kayak! 3” Storm Wildeye Swim bait

 

Went trolling for toothy critters and the water was too high and fast. Or so I thought........... 60 degree surface temp and rolling like crazy, I can’t believe I caught this sauger in the first 10 minutes. Must have been my hound that sniffed it out 

The panfish were extremely active on Table Rock this past weekend. I didn't catch many, but man were they pecking at anything I dropped down. I did managed a nice Goggle eye and a very greedy longear sunfish though.

 

 

Crappie plopper...decent crappie hit a 110 WP. Wasn't much of a fight on a heavy casting rod.

6 lb 1 oz walleye on area lake in southwest Iowa

Went walleye fishing with my folks last Thursday in the Warrior.  We fished the mud flats with lindy rigs and leeches for about 6 hours and landed 34 walleyes, with 11 being over 24 inches.  Biggest one was a 27 1/4 incher my Mother caught.  Easy to catch right now.  Just head to deep water and drag around some live bait and you'll get bit.  They were all released fully alive back to the deep.

Wipers were biting this weekend on the Miss! 8-12 on the left and 6-4 on the right, you can tell which one of us is better at taking fish pics?

Awesome! Never caught a wiper but my buddies from Colorado say they fight really hard

Very Nice!

@Dorado Yes, they do fight really hard. It's unlike anything imo. There's zero doubt when you have a wiper on the other end. I have only caught 7 in the two years I've been fishing and I remember every single one of them (largest being just 19"). I will say they are probably funner on spinning tackle as the drag really sings but they're a blast regardless.

 

I caught one on a whopper plopper 110 last September, by far my favorite one. Luckily I had my gopro on that morning. I had been catching smallies when this guy (just 2.5 lbs) crushed it like freight train. 

 

 

Here's the gopro footage of the wiper on the plopper: https://youtu.be/URAbiRcwJcg

 

 

Found a keeper walleye (they gotta be 18" around here) yesterday morning bass fishing, on a flashy swimmer/keitech. Was a little surprised to find a walleye up shallow like that with slick calm water and not a cloud in the sky.

 

 

Can someone identify this fish? I caught her a few weeks ago in a place I hadn't fished. I've never caught a bluegill, I thought this was a bluegill at first but when I google pics of bluegills now I can't be sure. At the fishery I frequent most often it's shad, shad and more shad ha, so I have to admit I haven't yet paid much attention to bluegills or the sort. 

@TotalNoob Looks like a Green Sunfish to me. I catch them fairly often on the main lake I fish at. They have cool coloring and will seemingly bite just about anything at anytime that passes the piece of cover they are tucked under.

Yes they fight incredibly hard, especially in 245,000 CFS like it was on Sunday! They are very powerful and the big ones really know how to use the current to their advantage.

Big green sunfish, aka flathead catfish bait . I've sacrificed hundreds of them in the name of catching big catfish. They're super aggressive and very hardy. 

Big bluegills got me for a whole bag of Generals, but I got a couple of them too.

One of my favorite sunfish species to catch. Choked down a whole 5" General and got a 3/0 EWG hook in it's mouth all the way to it's eyeball.

I've never seen one of those.  Is that a warmouth?

Yes it is. Looks pretty similar to a green sunfish in the body, but the colors are different and they aren't nearly as numerous. Their color patterns are always really cool though.
