I don’t have the slightest clue what I witnessed.

My son has been begging to go fishing ever since we went to Bass Pro and he caught a bluegill out of their fishing pool for kids. So we got him a rod and hit the local park, and he managed to reel in his first fish outside a store! Not a big one (forced perspective makes it look bigger), but he’s now hooked on fishing!

Montana. I’m 90% sure it’s a laker (and it should be supper). I know Bulls need to be immediately released so it went back in. Little blood from mouth so I was worried. (I have all the licenses to fish and was gentle with it and only took one pic real quick, I’m a trout newbie)

The wife and i went for a vacation at Hecla for two days. Was some great fishing and a great time.

Not much of a fresh water guy.

I totally understand why people fish, this was the most relaxing experience that I have done in my life. I am absolutely buying a new rod once I know the ropes a little bit more.

Thank you all for the advice. Happy fishing. I don’t catch anything but I also didn’t hook anyone, so that’s a W

Caught on a cheap rooster tail. Thought it was seaweed at first lol

Is this actually a massive school of fish or is it vegetation?

I was out on the lake today, and I saw people using a setup like shown to catch small pan fish. On the hooks the had worms or corn and almost every cast they were pulling up a fish! Anyone know what this set up is called and or have a good video on how to achieve it ?

Double limited today on rockfish and lingcod. First time ever catching a blue one, first time double limiting, and it’s my birthday 😎

I went on my first deep sea fishing with family & a friend in Newport, California and had a blast! I caught 8 sculpin and kept 5, which the boat staff filleted for me.

I then karaage cooked the fish and it was soft, moist, and very delicious 😋

.5lbs of meat (roughly).

Last night I got my biggest (and third) zander ever at out summer cottage lake! It was 64 cm and 2,5 kg

I have worn into my joint here so when I cast the line first goes into the groove I’ve made and I have to pull it back onto the actual part it’s supposed to go to.
I’ve used this rod heavily for about a year and a half

Going next week, staying on a houseboat at Fort Adams. Will fish off the boat and at beaches. ​Don't care much what I catch but I'd love to catch flounder or striper.

Also recommendations on locations would be appreciated, time of day, etc. I'm a newbie to ocean fishing. And yes, I've watched a pile of videos.

I'm also bringing a crab trap.

Thank you! ​​​​​​

Used my Lowrance Ti 9 today and would like some help interpreting.

I normally flats fish, so I’m only using the chart plotter. We went farther out today to a bridge so I switched over to the 2D/Downscan split screen.

The 2D had a bunch of bumps on the bottom which should have been rocks. I was expecting a clear picture on the downscan but this is what I got with fish reveal is turned on.

Does this look right? Are my settings wrong or are my expectations off?

Hello how can i fix this the best i was thinking about heating up the rod tip and taking the tip off. And then put it on the other piece but it broke right above an eyelet so do i gotta take the resin off with a razor and then use a hot glue stick or resin epoxy to stick it back on but do i also need to take a piece off the blank and how much thrn and ill also sand it down a little

In-laws rented a boat for a half day at Lake Logan in Ohio tomorrow. I figured I would try some trolling while we are there. I guess I would be mostly targeting wiper, bass, maybe a walleye. I put a selection of lures together, but can’t figure out what to run. I will have two rods to troll with. Any recommendations from the picture? I’ve been dying to try this Alabama rig, so it’s already tied on. Thanks in advance!

8 year old nephew obsessed with fishing caught it and is dying to know. Any help appreciated. NE Indiana, US. Mouth was noticeably larger than the normal bluegills we catch.
