Let's go there and bring our own "truckfuls" of them. We can drive through Seattle and part of western Canada to get there and back.

Man...that's cool. Only one among the ten that I caught was big enough to impress me. But it didn't seem to look comparable to yours.

I already went out this Sunday and caught my limits of LMB. Then I kept fishing and releasing the rest...There was this lake that had so many, I saw them swimming by my boat and I kept casting at them. Some ignored my baits.

Sunday was a really experience: no line breaks, no fish got away, no time wasted. It was hook-in, hook-out from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. except for a short break around noon to 1:30.

i got no boat or kayak
no truck to pull it

that's okay, though
i prefer the shoreline
i do just as good as those on the boat

im not a largemouth bass guy
they are a little bit too fishy for my taste
catch and release for them only
i prefer them yummy whitebass better
but it's all preferences

Too many people are releasing them. Their population is overcrowding the lakes. I'm trying to reduce their population. But I know I can't ever do enough.

Shore fishing is perfect for LMB. Where else would they find grasshoppers and frogs or even crawfish but on shallower waters and shores? Can't get to do too many grabbing stunts in the air if there's no bug or bee on shore twigs to jump to.

But this lake just has some islands of weeds and lilipads that the bass love to hide in.

When you are spending $50-100 everytime you go out
Aka: boat and car gas, maintenance, etc....


Better off just buying tilapia at the store

Lets do an all shoreline fishing
No fancy equipment
Fish finder
No boat or kayak

Than we will find out who truly is the fishing master

Mr. Mechanic, I went out and caught lots on Sunday.
Cool!  I went out too.  None on Friday.  About 13 on Saturday, all under 2 lbs.  All catch and release.

Do you fish largemouth bass? They are the most fun to catch. Not necessarily to keep or eat.

That's real cool, too.

Mine were 2 lbs. and less. A few 2-pounders. I saw one so huge, I got scared. At first, I thought it was a carp. But then it appeared clear in the shallow, clear water that it was a LMB.

Sure. Let's go down to Marshall, MN and do that there. We'll pack some brats and sticky rice for a picnic to enjoy at lunch, too. We aren't going to grill any fish. We'll release all catches.

It's a public lake. Three fat Hmong guys were also fishing from their boat nearby. Lots of other non-Hmong anglers, including a boat with two
White guys and a Black guy.

I did use a fish finder. Plus,  a depth finder. But those fish were so easy to spot with my own eyes on eye glasses. Water was shallow enough to see the bottom in most of the spots.

Yup.

And when they're hooked and they flip into the air to shake off the hook...Most exciting thing in life!

wind was blowing from the south south west at about 14-15mph.  I thought it was winding but we went out anyways.  because of a small hill on the south side blocking the wind, I parked my kayak in the weeds and I thought, pretty good place to throw in a frog.  did and within a few cast.....I was able to pull in a couple of these.  on top water.  man, oh, man.....nothin g gets the heart pumping when reeling in that frog and the fish hits it.

Bluegills are good.  We rented a cabin a couple summers ago where we all can catch them fishes right of the dock.  Later that night, my brother cooked it and it was good.

going fishing later after work today.  wind from the north so, we're going to hit the north side.

overfried the fish a little bit
than you can eat the bones and fins
it's good eating
and they make good cut up bait for catfish

they easy to catch and plentyful
no expensive fishing gear

It's illegal to cut up sunnies for baits in Minnesota.

CORRECTION:

"might" force mommy to "catch some easy fish" so i can "showing off" (per the neutral PH members) it as mine...due to me getting "SKUNKED" all the time..

Got skunked this evening....


No "P" in the photo below so it's NOT "legit" based on the standards hmgLIAR set for his own photos... ;D ;D ;D
