Post your knives with pictures of your catch or fishing tackle. Alternately, you can show your fishing knife, if you prefer.
Try to include a knife in the majority of your pictures and tell any stories where your knife helped with your trip.
I was up at the crack of dawn this Derby morning and was off to the marina, with Northfield in tow.
It was a great morning, fabulous weather, calm wind, and the bass were biting. I ended up with six bass in the boat by mid morning. The largest fish was sixteen inches long on the measuring tape.
I used the Northfield for cutting line and a minor fish surgery. The small fish in the top picture was hooked through the tissue surrounding his eye. Since I catch and release most of my bass catches, I whipped out the sheepfoot Barlow (which is hair poppin' sharp) and put on my close up specs. I cut a tiny slit, right next to the young-ins eye and was able to get the barb and hook out without leaving him blind. I lectured him about biting so fast and hard on plastic brushhogs and held that sheep foot right up to his eye, lettin' the sun gleam off that blade, just to let him know I meant business. :grumpy:
I then swam him aound a bit and let him go. He swam away in quite the hurry.
The bottom fish was the sixteen incher and he required no surgery.
Not easy to take fish pics with a fish in one hand and a smartphone in the other.
Can't wait to show the granddaddy fish my Fish Barlow !!! Hurry up Mark !
Hey - my Northfield matches my ABU Rocket !!!
