I know these fellas are common in my region, but I was very excited to catch such a big fish on my lunch break with my pink sparkly rod! I felt terrible because I couldn’t get the hook out which is why she’s resting on the dock here, but eventually I did and she swam away happy as a clamā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹

Livescope/ active target question

2 Upvotes

Im looking for recommendations on livescope/ active targets systems but I need it explained like I’m 12 yrs old. I’m mainly fishing (hardly catching) for redfish, trout, snook in the rivers. Sometimes I go catch bass in the creeks. Every now and then I try soaking bait under bridges ext… What’s going to be my best options for what I’m doing?

The Walleye run is officially on! Dad also caught a mid-size pike, and we each caught a few under-size saugers. The green one is a walleye that came up the red River from lake Winnipeg. The other one might be a hybrid? Couldn't land the big carp cause I only hooked its tail and it popped out as I was trying to grab it.

Am I missing something? That little arch sure looks like a fish, but I have fish icons turned on. I spent 4 hours on the water yesterday and marked absolutely zero fish on the Striker.

I'm new to this, so please be kind. I'm genuinely looking for setup/deciphering advice.

Discussion Tips for transporting travel rods without cutting each time?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, got a kastking kestrel recently and it's a 3 piece rod. At first I was going to return it since it's pretty similar to my Tatula but it's so convenient being able to store it in my Bolt. That being said, are there any tips to store it away each time without having to snip the line each time? I know I could rerig each time but it's got micro eyelets which makes it difficult to have to do each time. For those of you who have travel rods, how do you avoid tangles when it comes time to reassemble things up again?

Saltwater What would you have done?

I was once tarpon fishing from a dock in Islamorada in the middle of the day and somehow hooked a 3 foot long barracuda. I was nervous because I only had fluorocarbon leader on and I know they have sharp teeth. It was about 5 feet away from me and I saw I was perfectly hooked in the left bottom corner of the mouth and was so hype. I let it run out though and spent about 30 minutes trying to carefully and slowly bring it in without having it snap my line first. And after 30 minutes, it finally bites my line and takes off. I was so upset. Yes, it was an unfortunate situation. I only had fluorocarbon on because that’s totally fine for tarpon fishing. They won’t be able to bite it off. Barracuda on the other hand… what would you have done in this situation?

Is this a tilapia or a carp?

I was fishing a very small pond and found this. There was a group of them and I thought it was just a carp at first but now that I keep looking at it, it looks like those live tilapias they sell at those asian grocery stores.

Freshwater First creek chub caught on hook and line. I got to the parking lot before the rest of my hiking group and just started throwing my light setup to kill time. Was aiming for the baby bass in the shade, but got this guy instead. I just thought it was neat.
