Braggin Board for Fishing!

[dr.mooseknuckles]

Spent 1.5 days fishing near Awendaw a few weeks ago. Boat limit of reds each day, 55 fish day one, 16ish day 2.

Predominantly red fish, a couple black drums and some small sheephead. Really cold the first day

My wife and I just finished an 8-day cruise up the Amazon River during the rainy season. It was not a fishing trip nor were there options for me to do so, but I really learned a lot about that amazing river. I wanted to share one thing I learned about a particular fish with fellow anglers here on the 'slide...

You guys may already know this (I didn't)...the Amazon River is home to the largest freshwater scaled fish on earth...the Arapaima (also known as the Pirarucu). It can reach lengths of 10-feet and weigh up to 400 pounds. Here's a photo I took of a photo at a local shop of a resident person's "bragin board"...

How was the cruise? Sounds interesting.

Wife caught her first steelhead. She was super pumped.

Congratulations to her, is she hooked now? Where were you guys fishing, if you don’t mind me asking? It looks like summertime.

Have you ever gone down to yakutat for steelhead?

Yeah, I used to ship my cataraft down there and float from 9 mile down to the takeout. My first time was in the early 1990’s, but I haven’t been down there in about 25 years.

The Amazon is wild. Man, do I miss it. I spent 2 weeks on a hunt for giant piraiba on the Essequibo in Guyana. Camping on beaches with caiman.

^^^ Well done, sir! ^^^

Our week on the Amazon was one segment of a larger cruise. It was just right for us and a great introduction to the river. I don't want to side-track this thread, so I'll stop here...but I gotta say, it was really hot and humid for us two Alaskans .

I wish I would have worn that hat a lot more than I did, maybe I wouldn't be dealing with all the skin cancers on my face, that I'm currently dealing with. Oh, and sunscreen probably would have been a good idea too.

Our 2 best yesterday caught by my wife and kid from the shore.

 

[Pharmseller]

A brown and a Mac!

Yessir. We caught 3 other browns about like that (18-20") but that was the fattest. Mac's are pretty hard to come by in that lake, so that was a treat - 23"

Amen brother. Had 2 Mohs surgeries in the last 7 months. A lot of time on the flats with just a ball cap.

Yup, I have two scheduled for this summer, one in June and the second in Aug. Fortunately they're both just basal cells, but I did have a squamous on the side of my forehead a few years back. It seems like every time I go to see the dermatologist, I end up getting a little bit more removed. It absolutely sucks!
