ITT: We love to fish

[ThatOneBigKid]

Damn Hairy. That looks Hnnng AF! Never been trout fishing but have always wanted to do a catch and cook.

Got out fishing yesterday without much luck. Caught a few small fish, but that was all. Was only out for a few hours, should have stayed home and watch the Vikings game. Was windy AF out which made 60% of the lake difficult to fish. Oh well, there is always next weekend.

Yeah I've only fished for Rainbows twice in my life, both in Wyoming after an Antelope hunt. The locals all use salmon eggs or Gulp nuggets but we slay though on these little Super Duper spoons, probably 10-1 ratio and we don't have to mess with bait. It's a blast and they eat really good as well.

[ThatOneBigKid]

Finally got the first run of the HNNNG Tackle Co. hats in. Would probably be in the neighborhood of $25 each plus shipping if any of you guys want one.

Nice pictures @HairyScandinavian! looks like a blast

[gixxer0.6g]

give it two taps over the head, then sear it over a heated pan with melted butter

I'd stick it on a hook.



My son has officially caught the fishing bug. We are going on our first quest for big fish. Had him up to the mountains earlier this year and to some small lakes around town but just little trout so far. But we're heading to a big lake Saturday for 5 lb rainbows and walleyes. Wish us luck.

Very cool. My older brother was in town a few weeks ago and we didn't have a lot of time but took his son to the creek behind the house to catch some sunfish and creek chubs. The cheesy grin he had was great catching his first few fish.

Cute kid gixxer, you're gonna have a life long fishing buddy right there.

[Lawlstud]

Went up to Wyoming to blast some speed goats, tagged out a little too quick so had a few days to fish in the mountains. Caught a lot of Rainbows up to 16.25 inches.

Dude I wish there was somewhere around here that beautiful to fish.

I hear ya. I run all over the coast and love it, but the scenery up there is just a different kind of beautiful.

Hard to beat Montana guys. This was an easy 3 mile hike him and I took last month. Nothing but beautiful trout in these mountains.

[ThatOneBigKid]

Mirin' all these mountain lake pics. Northern MN is pretty sweet, but that just looks like another level.

Here's something interdasting... I was out fishing Saturday morning on a river when I look down on the bank and see what I thought was a spine or piece of vertebrae. I picked it up, and it was squishy. Turns out it was some kind of grub?

Google searches lead me to believe it's a Golaith Beetle larvae. Fkn gnarly!

One of those maggot things prob burrowed in your skin. Good luck in your being eaten from the inside out goals of 2017-2018.

Man that is gorgeous. I was in Medicine Bow/Snowy Range in Wyoming and that was nice, bet Montana is even better. Let me know when you're ready to organize and host a misc fishing crew get together and I'll make the trip. I need to learn the fly rod better first thing, really missed not having one in Wyoming.

[Deathstroke]

Is there a main difference between nightcrawlers and red wigglers?

Does anyone order either online in bulk? I am looking for the best deals.

[ThatOneBigKid]

Got into some good ones yesterday after church yesterday. It was raining off and on and windy, but it was nice since I was the only one at the boat launch. Caught 15 on the day. Biggest (below) was 5.1lbs. Seems like the big girls are moving shallow to start feeding. The next month should be very Hnnng bass fishing here in MN.

Coming up to the end of the trout season over here now but the Grayling season is just around the corner.

Leaving for a 10 day trip aboard the Excel on Wednesday. Oh lawdy, better come back being a part of the cow club(200+ lb)

Get the flatfalls ready brah.

Got plenty of those, have to make a trip to the tackle store to pick up some wahoo bombs

[LethalGunz34]

First trip this weekend. Nothing crazy, just a local river. Let's see what bites.

[rahfulz]

Went for a week long fishing trip in Montauk. All the fish were small but we had a blast.

Damn big dog.

[Blueblob]

This will be my first steelhead season, need to pick up some waders pretty soon. What's everyone's favorite pair? Would like to stay under $450

[rahfulz]

I use LL Bean. Their warranty is unmatched. They start to leak and you just bring them in for a new pair usually. Simms is overpriced IMO.

Compass 360 is another decent pair for around $100.

Misc hat?

Got back from my 10 day on Saturday, huge variety of fish caught but no cows this trip. Tons of Yellowfin tuna and yellowtail were caught, had a crazy wide open bite of dorado for about 20 minutes that bagged us 77 dorado. I believe we had 76 wahoo for the trip and probably 20+ groupers. Total of 25 guys. Great food, awesome weather, a ton of action and got to come home with 472 lbs of fish.

sounds insane, gjdm

what's with the eye though, is this from pulling it up from the deep?

Yea exactly, they only give up a fight for the first 50-100 ft. After that they kinda just float up from all the gasses. Had 1 rock me, he was able to get back into his hole/crevice and took me a good 5 min to get him out, mono was all frayed to chit by the time I got him out. Got real lucky on that one.

1 actually spun himself off while I was bringing him up, probably 20-30ft below surface he just popped off. We could see him still circling/floating up and 30 seconds later he was to the surface. Was pretty lulzy

[ThatOneBigKid]

Looks like a killer trip Gsxr. That is a ton of fish in the freezer! Hnnnnng

I got out yesterday and had a real rough day. Only 2 fish on the day, both were dinks. Weather was cold as hell, but it was still fun. 42 degrees when I made it to the boat launch.

Sounds like the smallies are really biting on a local smaller river system so I am taking tomorrow off for a "funeral". Weather is supposed to be real nice for this time of year tomorrow so it should be a good day.
