ROD (and reel) Fishing Thread

[RamFan503]

Well... my son and his friend entered that Crappie Fishing tournament last Saturday. There were 300 boats. It started very early Saturday morning and ended early that afternoon. Each boat was trying to catch 5 fish that had the total highest weight or the single largest fish.

They called me from their boat that afternoon as they were headed in for the weigh-in. They were confident they had the biggest single fish and the highest total weight of 5 fish. Turns out... they came in second place on both. Still nothing to sneeze at... they did awesome.

Their biggest was this fish on the right. It was over 16" long and was almost 3 pounds.

Their 5 fish total weight was just under 9 pounds.

The 1place winners beat them on both by just the smallest of margins.

My son and his friend released their fish after the weigh-in. They didn't want those big girls taken outta the gene pool.

Looks like he's ready to go out hunting.

Looks like he's ready to go out hunting.

It was freaking artic cold that morning (in the 40's)... so he wore his duck hunting overalls because they're super warm. LOL

He did just get those fishing boots though... and he wanted the camo colored ones. Those boots are super comfortable.
