Another Huge Largemouth Bass Caught!

Texas Largemouth Bass

I was reading through a post made at the World Fishing Network today that I thought you’d be interested in reading.

It seems that a very large largemouth bass was caught and released back into the wild through a program called the “Toyota Sharelunker”.

Turns out the fish was caught about a year ago and it has grown since it was first caught!

Check out the article:

 

 

Huge Largemouth Bass Caught In Texas

 

 

The Toyota Sharelunker program sounds like a great idea that every state could use.

What do you think? Drop me a comment down below?

Thanks and I’ll catch you later!

How Is Your Knowledge of Fish As Food?

I received an article in my inbox the other day that I thought I’d share with you all.

The e-mail was titled: “Fish Fact and Fiction” and came from WebMD.

Being the freshwater fisherman that I am, my curiosity was picqued! So I opened the e-mail and there was a link to the article (or so I thought).

It actually was a link to a quiz! I took the quiz – there are 17 questions – and got 3 wrong!  I guess that’s not too bad!

So with that, here is the link for you to check out the quiz and see just how much you know about the benefits of eating fish!

Fish Fact and Fiction

If you’re brave enough to take the quiz, please post your results in the comments section!

Have a great day and I’ll catch you later.

Some Freshwater Fishing Pictures

Well, we had a chance to go fishing again, and had a beautiful afternoon on a local lake.

I didn’t catch anything, but had a few pickerel on the line.

My son however, caught a painted turtle! He was using dough balls for bait and there were lots of turtles in the lake.

I warned him to be careful but …

Fortunately I was able to get the turtle off of the hook without harming him.

So I promised some pictures from our last fishing trip and here they are!

The first is a sunfish my son caught and the second is a roach fish.

Had a nice afternoon both times!

Hope you get some time to get out and catch some nice fish as well.

Take care and catch you later.

Fresh Water Fishing – Hall Of Fame?

I was reading through some of my e-mails and saw a nomination for the fresh water fishing hall of fame.

Now this isn’t the first time of heard of the FWFHoF, but it’s the first time I’ve really thought about it!

And I was wondering why there should even be a Hall of Fame for freshwater fishing? Fishing to me is personal. It’s me time and at times it’s also family time. But the lure of fishing for me is the ability to get away and spend some quality time with nature and enjoy trying to outwit a bass!

If I don’t catch anything – no big loss. I usually have a great time just being outdoors!

So why is there a hall of fame for this? I guess maybe we need to honor those who fish for sport and money? You know those guys/gals that catch more fish than everyone else and can have bragging rights as well as sponsor’s money, and actually make a living at fishing.

I haven’t actually read the qualifications for being nominated to be a Hall of Famer, so I’m not sure just why we need this.

Have any of you folks out there ever been to the “Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame”?

If so, could you post here and tell me what you thought of it and why you like or dislike it?

I’m just curious!?!

Thanks!

Catch you later.

Freshwater Fishing – Summer’s Gone

Well, it’s official, the summer is gone and I only was able to go fishing 3 times!

Not that my sons didn’t bug me to go. Rather it was just that I’ve been working so much that I just didn’t get the time to go.

Plus my older son left the nest this summer and joined the Navy! While I’m happy that he’s off to find his lot in life, I miss him and he was another reason to head off fishing.

So my younger son and I only got the chance to fish 3 times. We didn’t catch any bass this year, but we did catch lots of sunnies! I enjoy fishing, even for sunnies, and they always provide action for my younger son. So it was a sunny fishing season for us.

On a side note, I bought another trout stamp which didn’t get any use. 🙁 Maybe next year… right?

So how about any of my readers? How was your summer for fishing this year? Did you catch any lunkers? Did you get to go much?

Post a response and let us all know?

Catch you later!

How many different kinds of worm rigs are there? What are they?

Here’s a question I found on yahoo Answers that I found interesting and thought I’d share it.

I get to do a project on fishing which is cool so give me all the information you have on Bass fishing with artificial worms. I already know the basics concerning a Texas, Carolina and Wacky rigs.

I need as much info about this for a project so be generous.
