Why Rokslide doesn’t have a fishing forum

It does in the little lake I fish in.

In ND we had a lake we caught about 200 crappies fishing two back to back mornings this winter. They were all 10-13s, I can't wait for them to grow!

We have a rule every trip, smallest fish gets the hero shot. Here’s the trophy crappie of the day

My daughter is the best at holding fish for a picture. Exhibit A:. Same fish

That's a regular Bill Dance move. Well done.

My labs usually try to retrieve the fish before I get a chance

Exhibit B:. Putting the "lean back" into it. Adds a few inches.

We fish. Snag paddlefish next weekend. Spearfish(poorly) in the summer. Love being on the water, but nothing compares to stalking game.

Before I was a hunter I was a fisherman so I know all of the "tricks of the trade" in terms of getting a nice picture of that fish, be it a trophy or not.

I see a lot of "hold outs", but next time instead of bringing the fish to the camera, bring the camera to the fish. Also, make sure the bend of an elbow is visible to make it look like you are not straight arming. Finally, hide the hands. BIG hands next to a big fish definitely gives away the size


Anyone care to guess the weight of these fish?

For reference, I am 6'2" and 185lbs

Caught these Saturday

150 on the aj, 35 ish on the snappers

Man among men, Nelson. You ocean freedivers have my utmost respect.

Not everybody can catch fish like that. It took me a couple hundred casts for the monster and I promise I wasn’t long arming it.

Im taking up for Brandon on this after the good info he gave me on my daughters cow tag in CO. I don't think its him. lol. Nice pic coop22250, really shows the skeletal structure and internal organs on a crappie...

 

[Justin Crossley]

I can't even catch fish. Thankfully my son can though.

How big are they Nelson , I missed the reference you posted at the end ,I’ll up my guess on the aj to 225lb , what kind of snapper cubera?hard to tell with the underwater pic . Either way nice fish !

Holding it out on the end of the spear helps. 25 lbs?

FYI these are slab crappie

Thanks for the complement! - but from my brief intro to hunting on land, spearfishing is EASY in comparison. Especially hunting big game with a bow

The amberjack was 87 and the cubera snapper probably around 25ish. We were shore diving and didn't have a boat with ice so I gutted it in the water to help with spoilage

The spear was out and I'm holding it by hand, but your weight is spot on!


Meanwhile I'm still figuring out how to take decent photos of land based game

I wouldn’t exactly call it fishing, but it sure is a quick way to fill the freezer.
