Dave, come on, how long are your arms?

Haha, that’s the same question I ask myself about most of the photos I see on this thread.

Went up to AK last August. Brooks Range anadromous Dolly on the fly. Buddy put together a pretty sweet video from the trip as well

Some FL stuff. BiL and 18-20# red snapper (31-32 inches). Good size reef shark ate a fish on me.

Nice but, next time check the background. The tagged structure distract from the otherwise nice photo.

New Zealand Barracouta, they pack a nasty bite and will often cut the line before you even realize you've had a bite.
Quite tasty but often full of worms in the flesh so I tend to release them

You ever try wire leader?

Not really as the target species (yellowtail kingfish) steer clear of wire leaders.

Instead I tend to use 100-150lb flurocarbon

We have done a couple deep water ling trips this past week, and it didn’t disappoint

My biggest coho last year.

Mutton snapper out of Key West

17.75" crappie 2.97lbs. My biggest to date. A 3lb crappie will go on the wall. I got pretty ate up with crappie fishing about 6yrs ago. My favorite is trolling crankbaits for them in the summer. Just picked up a new champion this year so I'm getting it rigged up and I'll be able to cover a lot more water, or at least get there 2x quicker.

A couple steelhead pics from a chilly winter float. Summer fish. Pro style pics by my buddy

Worst year I can remember for getting out to 70 fathoms and stacking them. I think I've only done 10 trips since Mar 15.

It’s certainly been a classic spring ocean year, I’m ready for some nice days

We were supposed to halibut fish yesterday but it was a slow ride so we converted the trip to salvage the day… day before it was blowing hard out of the SW, then switched to NW, and yesterday at daylight it was 25kts WNW and a crappy confused ocean, at least the lings bit

But yeah, this spring has been a constant crappy ocean, but busy. Looks like late week we might get a couple nice days

Almost a year ago...unfortunately wont be going back for the first time in 6 years. Sheep tag ruined the streak, but we're all set to go next August.

About ruins local fishing for me.

Years past:

That looks exactly like the Silver Bullet I fished on out of Kodiak, AK with Cap'n Gary Salter!

Yesterday I headed out to Ling fish. Got to 25 fathoms and said "screw this!" Asked if they'd want to do some nearshore instead. They all said yes. Biggest mistake 9 of them made. Sick as dogs. Only had 6 that could actually stand up and fish. Should have just pulled the plug and headed to the dock. It was a miserable cold sloppy day.

59cm Walleye this past Feb. in AB.
