this is a picture of my first time ocean fishing. the fish i caught was a striped bass and i caught it while trolling a umbrella bait. i caught it 2 weekends ago on my family freinds charter boat, im not sure how deep it was. the whole day was exhausting but i loved it and i plan to ocean fish some more! the striper put up way more of a fight then i expected!

This is a brook trout caught in Redfield, NY on a 1/16oz. panther martin spinner. The rod was a 5' ultralight with 4lb. test. The water was about 5 foot deep and fairly clear. I was fishing with some friends of mine. This was about a month ago.

You and I, tonym, share a passion...Here's my fishing story:
Brought my son and nephew canoe fishing this summer (end of august); my nephew caught this small bass with his wally-world fishing rod, using a plain hook and a frog; he had a blast! My son had a lot of fun as well...Isn't fishing about that, really: enjoying life, the lake, the sun...and trying to bring the other generation in it
Thanks for the cool contest and happy fishing!

My wife and I like to do a little fly-in outpost camping every once in a while. Our favorite place is called Lake Anjigami near Wawa Ontario (in between Sault St. Marie and Thunderbay) which is accessible by road and then they fly you out to one of five outposts. The outpost is the only cabin on each lake, there is no electricity, but they do have a propane stove and lights to make the cabin comfy (also very nice composting toilets that are in the cabin and do not smell at all!).
On this trip we flew to the Fulcher Lake outpost. There were tonnes of 2-3 lb pike that gobbled up pretty much everything we threw at them. In our five days we netted well over 200 fish (all released except for 1 or 2).
The map had a walleye lake that was about 1/3 mile portage. We decided to visit the first night in. I lugged the portable 5 hp engine on my shoulder and my wife brough a pack with water and some light fishing gear. We thought we might try a bit of fishing that night, but the main idea was to come back in the morning and catch the next day's lunch. I remember being all tired and sweaty as I arrived lugging that motor over unsure terrain. As we got to the water's edge, the mosquitoes were driving us nuts and we decided to head out to the water just to get a break from the bugs.
Just out into the bay from the landing, the bugs died down, the sun was starting to dim. I noticed a hill with a patch of bare rock sloping down into the water. By the rock slope, it was obviously that this was a nice hole coming off the bay which was fed by a spring draining the other pike lake we were fishing. So we decided to hit that spot.
The picture below represented our first 15 minutes of fishing. All we used was a jig and piece of worm. Water depth was about 15 feet. Unfortunately I didn't have anything to measure the water temperature, but it was late August and I'm sure the fish were sitting below the thermocline. My wife caught the biggest of the lot and that is why she is smiling so much. These were the only walleye we kept, although we caught many more on that lake and released them.
The above shot is my entry....But here is a picture of the 2-3lb pike. My magic weapon for these guys was the following lure: Take a meps 3 black fury or silver Aglia. Use a leatherman to cut off the treble hook. Install a small split ring on the back of the spinner and add a #3 or #2 worm hook. Texas rig a Berkley power worm (the purple ones with the fire tip tail worked great). We were trolling these rigs along the sides of the lake. There was a tonne of woody debris, but the texas rigged worms resisted snags. The pike hit them like crazy!

I think I have posted this photo before, unfortunately I don't have too many photos of my catches.
I caught these two Arctic Char in the summer of 2001 in Deception Bay in the Nunavik region of northern Quebec (Canada), 60km east of Salluit. It was in th shallow running water (5'-10') where the Deception (?) River runs into the ocean, using a Williams Wabler. (did I mention I have a great job!)
This was the largest catch of the day, unfortunately I didn't catch this one:

This is a picture of my wife and I. The fish were caught off a pontoon boat, off the point of a small ridge that ran out into the lake. The lake was Strawberry reservoir in Utah. We were using power bait. My wife caught her larger fish on the first cast of the day. I caught mine after more than an hour of the thing nibbling and stealing about 5 bait balls. (sorry about the poor picture quality, they aren't even digital, from a disposable camera)

Yup. If you are lucky they will rise from the depths as you hook them and school around the boat and attack each other. They also have built in super soakers that shoot black liquid so you have to watch out when gaffing.
I cant just post one pick. Ill just enter this one for my nephew.
A golf course pond in Fallbrook Ca.
Here are some recent favorites. Not for the contest but because I love to fish.
Large carp landed by one of the 2 nephews on a ML berkley lightning rod with 8lb test. The other nephew caught one about the same size a little later. This was in Anthem Az. It drew a crowd of soccer moms.
My first of 12 rooster fish. Caught in march or april of this year in Sayulita Mexico. The fish were caught on a custom Calstar spinning rod with an Okuma Avenger 65 with 30 pound test or a custom Kencor blank with Accurate Penn 500 with 30lb test. I caught some on bait and some on various small jigs. One was a small white sumo another was a large chrome kastmaster. You can see my travel arsenal in the right of the 1st pic.
Another rooster from day 1
Day 2 Sayulita Roosters W/ one one spear
I love mexico

A few trips for Albacore tuna 20 to 50 miles out of Ft bragg, Ca. Most caught trolling tuna jigs on rod and reel and on my homemade paracord handlines. A few caught on the slide.
Me
My buddy
My brother, me, buddy
Dorados (mahi Mahi) and skipjack tuna in Manzanillo, Mex. I used the boats gear. I now bring my own. Lesson learned.
Dang I hit my pic limit and I am just getting started. I would love to see more S. America pics. Any piara(SP)

Oak those are some inpressive catches, Roosterfishing is #1 on my wish list man. One day I'll get there.
No piara, There were none present in that lake I was fishing. I have plans to go to the Amazon and due some serious fishing down there, but thats not going to happen till 2010
It was pretty much all Peacock bass and some of these big Pirahna

You ever try any on fly. Peacock is on my wish list. If you want roosters I know the spot. I have never even heard of roosters like I saw. They were so thick you could almost walk on them.
Some day I ll hit New England too. Those big bluefin are callin' me. They just closed fishing for Rock fish here months early, so I am crying. No salmon all year either. This thread is really lifting.

I know you were blinded by the big peacock bass on my first post, so you missed where it says cutt off was midnight on Sunday and then my daughter will be picking the winner.
