I had a great day on the water, guess how many fish I caught GAW

[chuck4570]

Fun GAW, I’m going with my 1st gut number, 32 ><{{{*>

Thanks, Jim, that's a beautiful lake and surrounds, I'm jealous. This was my first and last attempt at whittling: a porpoise.
I'll guess 9 fish caught.

Jeff, a porpoise is a mammal!! But I love the carving so I’m giving you a pass. You’re in

The only picture of a fish I have handy is this Taylor-Schrade 19OT Land Shark. I call it a Lamb Shark, since it has a lambsfoot blade (or so I believe):

Gary I have never seen a knife like this, I love it.

Hey! No mammals!

 

[Prester John]

I'm going to guess you caught at least 1+ twice as many mosquitos, and 1+ three times as many gnats as you did fish.
Not a entry, since I still can't get pictures to post.

(the "1+" is in case you have a day fishing like I normally do, and cannot locate a hungry, stupid fish, (as opposed to smart fish. Only dumb fish bite a hook. Hence you will never catch a smart fish with hook and line) a fish that is awake, or one that is within 250 miles of my location.
I generally catch my limit of mosquitos and gnats though. (if only the drumsticks weren't so tiny ...)

If you have a smartphone, you can download the Imgur app for free, and it is easy to post pictures using that.

Mammal, schmammal . . . it lives in the sea, it's a fish! Science was never my strong suit.

Is that a 33?????

Yes, it is. Sadly, no longer mine.

How about a small Sunfish. With the hand reel I used to fish with while bumming around Australia. That sucker is over 30 years old now. Wow, digging this thing up for the pic, rattled loose some pretty crazy memories. Thank you for making me do that!

And my guess is 13. Make it a baker's dozen.

I’m going to say you got blanked, zippo, zero, nada. Because even if you get shut out, it is great to be out on the water.

 

[dantzk8]

Let say 19. That's what i would call a great day. Better than i've ever had.

A fish picture hmmmm

Fresh


or smoked...

I'll guess 5 fish

 

[Old Hunter]

Guessing you caught four fish. Here is a LMB I caught a couple summers past. OH

Beautiful bass. What's that lure? Never seen such a one.

Thanks, Chuck.
I think it's a nice 1-blade knife.

dantzk8 Thank you! That is a Storm Chug Bug topwater popping plug. Those have been around a long time and come in many colors, I probably have three or four, some being my Dad’s. OH

Thanks OH. I will try to get one. I mainly use old school undulating spoons. It doesn't harm to upgrade once in a decade maybe.

Since you said Kokanee, I'd guess you consider 32 a very good day. If I'm right, give the knife to someone else.

If I am fishing for trout, I generally consider 50 a good day (catch & release). But the whole point is to have fun and for me catching fish is fun. I never keep them.

You beat me to it!

Here's a picture of Eleanor from last summer with the first fish she ever caught, a little pumpkinseed.

And here's one I caught.

Not an entry for me, but great GAW!

 

[meako]

I wanted to say nil fish ...because thats my average...3 then ...plus several nibbles.
Hope you got a feed.

This is a chilling read...although dated.
There are still plenty of places ..anywhere in Sydney Harbour or The Georges River (Sydney) where only a lunatic would swim in the open water....plus a bonus ....I just noticed the beach in this cover pic is North Wollongong ...much changed now with taller buildings but I swam there many times....

Not an entry!! Great thread and especially nice to see the tradition being passed on to the kids.
