Geeze, that looks dangerous. :hehe

Not sure if these are the same species of fish but I don't think so. It's back up in a cove somewhere in Mexico.

Like your Avatar Tux. lol

Man; if only I could find a place where fish would just jump in my boat (if I had one that is; many years ago, my Dad had one, but I never got a chance to fish in it; :gaah

).

This is me in my new boat. :hehe

Yeah, I wish. That's me pretending it's my boat.

I do have an older bass boat but it's in need of repair. The cooling pump which pulls water though the engine is out. I think it's a bad impeller. I really need to get it fixed.

Well, they say, if you're going to dream, dream big. Don't know why you can't pretend big, too...

That doesn't happen to be Lake Norman, is it Tux?

We got a smaller boat here, not for fishing (used to have a fishing boat sold it for something a bit smaller and faster, and more family fun type) Now I can go skiing and watertubing easier

We have two white amur (an asian carp) in our pond to eat the vegetation...but here they are illegal unless they are sterilized...and no, I have no idea how this would be done. Fisheries supply them already "fixed", lol.

That picture was taken on lake Hartwell at Portman Marina. Hartwell is a really nice lake (930 miles of shoreline) although I think it has been somewhat over developed.

Portman Shoals Marina

We were heading out on a striper fishing trip. We did pretty well that day.

I'm usually fish for largemouth and spotted bass (I catch and release) but stripers/hybrids are just plain tasty when fried up in a crispy corn meal batter. :mrgreen:

Oh by the way, we had to use poles. :hehe

Looks yummy Tux. Hushpuppies and fries too I hope. Man; haven't eaten lunch yet and it's past 2pm here. lol

I love a nice 9-12 inch Blue Gill or sun Fish fillet cooked up in the old Fry Daddy!

@-3 of those and a couple slices of bread and i am in Heaven!

Nice catch there Tux!
