It was a chub.

First fish ever so happy

Amazing, incredible, beautiful fish!

As title states, my hellgrammite caught a fish and would not let go. Definitely a first for me

This is a Mepps Black Fury appreciation post. Way back in 1994 I caught my first pike from Lake Muskoka on a #3 size Black Fury. 30 years I caught my first muskie from shore using the #5 size. I also caught my biggest brown trout using the #3 also. Post your Mepps Black Fury fish here! Cast da Mepps! #meppsspinners

On the 5 inch bellows swimmer with a flashy swimmer 6/0. No scale 💔

insane slabs!!! biggest was over 9”

White perch? White bass? I was the first to catch a big fish and I was like it’s a small mouth bass! And my husband and dad said it was a white perch. I was looking at it and thought it had a stripe, so maybe a white bass? The dorsal fin looks wide.
Anyways, bass or perch?

found this old mitchell 300 on the river and i’m going to give it a second chance at life i think. found this reel in much worse condition then it is now, super muddy, dirt in the gears and any other crevice you might think of.

i busted the reel down entirely and cleaned it up, re oiled and greased it, the metal on metal sound you may hear is from the housing hitting the spool upon reeling, nothing i can do about that other then try to bend it back somehow, but it doesn’t seem to mess with anything so i’m thinking of leaving that alone.

there was a plastic disc under the drag assembly but it was so corroded it fell apart upon removing it so that isn’t there anymore. apart from that and the terrible paint peel, the reel operates smoothly and seems to be fine.

thoughts on what i can do for the paint would be appreciated.

Just caught this 53cm (21 inches) perch. Absolutely lovely!

Didn't catch much besides little pinfish, an undersized flounder and stringray. I finally got my filets halfway decent and wanted to share, it was delicious. I used a little Lowry's seasoned salt and black pepper!

since some of you guys were invested/interested in my last post about this reel, i thought i’d share what the internals also look like (months after cleaning) for it being found in the bottom of a very silty river bed……there way cleaner then the outside as expected, but i’d of thought since there was rusting on the outside, and corrosion on some parts before cleaning, that there would be some sort of damage/corrosion to the gears…..to my surprise there isn’t…..and everything in this reel is mechanically working….the only thing that seemed to degrade a lot, is the paint, some heads to pins (rusted), some rusted parts on the reel body itself, and a plastic drag washer that completely disintegrated upon removing it when i cleaned the reel.

hope you guys like this post aswell. tight lines anglers!

Ive heard about using zote soap to catch catfish and wanted to try it out.

Rainbow Trout. Yes I know im holding it wrong. Caught two more of these puppies, plan to cook them up a few days from now. How exhilarating! Can't wait to continue my fishing journey.

Anyone know what the red mark(s) on this smallmouth are from? A parasite? Caught and released in a lake straddling the California/Nevada border.

Little lake Ontario

How long/big do you reckon she is?

when i reel my penn battle 4 4000 reel it makes a very scratchy noise i haven’t even had the reel for a full year and it’s making this noise any suggestions on how to fix it?

Best way to rig and fish the prickly pear? What’s worked best for yall?

EDIT: my bad i should've realized i posted in r/fishing not r/FishingForBeginners

Sorry using mobile so format might get fucked.
This is the tackle I have set for myself and my kid to catch crappie and panfish in the back creek of my MILs. Is this adequate or do I need to up my tackle game and not use hotdog bits as stink bait?

S/O and I are visiting and love to fish. All I have found is private charters so far, suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Probably looking to do bottom fishing maybe striper or whatever bites in your waters !
