2009 Fishing Season PIC Thread

Here are some pics from a fishing trip in july. We camped at the coast at Van Damm State Park. Killed the fish on kayaks. We caught the fish primarily on about 5", 2oz swimbaits, like a Fishtrap.

Beautiful picture. There is something primal about Yak fishing. Even if its plastic. Nothing like paddling up to a beach that your wife and kid are playing on, with a boat full of fish and such.

My wife wouldn't let me be comunicating w/ you if she knew you were to blame for my new need for a OK Prowler 15. Have you seen the new rod hatch? Soon it will be mine.

Here are a few of my catches from this summer at a local lake called Powder Creek. Didn't take a ton of pictures, but I did catch a few quality fish. Been trying to learn to fish for the cats this summer, been having some pretty good success. Here are the highlights of the summer:

A surprise from the lake. This eye went just a smidge over 22 inches!

We fished Tioga Lake, in the Eastern Sierra of California last week. It was a wide open trout bite. The senery was awsome too! Also got to see some nice Tule Elk bulls.

GA is home, but Louisiana is temporary home. The crabs are from a rainy day here in Louisiana. In hindsight, shouldn't have piled the crabs on top of the beer that I was trying to drink. Hands were pretty sore by the time I got drunk.
 
Here's a couple from this year on Great Bear Lake...

I can't beat George. He got this feller in July. 84lbs. Poor Verna, a local chum, can barely hold 'im up...
