What a week on the water!!

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

What a week on the water!!

Post by Chevy Champagne »

My first trip of the week was with Rj Thursday for lakers you all now know the story there!! just a giant fish that I am supper glad to of been a part of!
Naturally when you see a fish like that you gotta go back!! So I packed up the gear and headed back out there Saturday with my mom hoping to get her on her on her first big laker through the ice! I was skunked again but my goal was a success! Mid way through the day I look over to see my mom working a fish on the vex next thing I know her rod is doubled over with drag screaming out and my mom just freaking out! :lol: :lol:
after an amazing fight which my mom handled like a pro and a couple little mishaps i was able to reach down and gill the big sucka!!

This was truly a day I will never forget! ill let the pics do the talking 8)

after all that excitement I needed to take Sunday off and just chill..
Luckily I have three day weekends and all the conditions were just screaming for me to go for a drive..... and maybe even bend a long rod 8)
got to my favorite trib early and she was COOOLLLLDD!
cold enough for our best pool to be frozen solid :shock: No problem we quickly jumped into the water and broke the spot up and sent a few big iceburgs down river!
Around a hour later we were ready to fish and our hard work paid off! We honestly lost count of how many fish we hooked and landed just crazy when you time everything right!
All our fish were between 5-7 pounds and it was just so crazy with double headers, re tieing, landing fish and just having such a great time we didnt take many pics at all here are a couple that we snapped quick between the madness

not sure whats on the agenda for this week but i'm gonna need to let my arm rest a bit shes sore from fighting fish :shock:
ill be back on the ice soon im sure!!
tight lines, chevy

Nice fish man!!Hate to sound like a jerk but keep the steelies off the bank unless you're keeping them, it removes all of their slime. That last photo is a perfect hold. Good angling bud!

Why? Because someone is giving advice about proper handling of a fish? If I saw you on a lake and you were mishandling a fish, damn right I would say something to you. The guy wasn't being rude; just offering advice. Do you not think that the lakes and rivers we fish including what's in it is not for everyone to enjoy???

Come on man!

Hahaha funny stuff. Pretty sure he kept one or two and knows how to handle fish...always good to reiterate things like that though because there are a lot of people new to fishing that check out this site. Us guys who fish a lot might take some of that knowledge we have for granted wheras a new fisherman may just not know better. The beauty of fishhawk, I know I've learned a ton on here!

Tell that to EVERY steelheader that has ever taken a photo. NO steelheader hasn't taken a photo of a fish laying beside their prized pin.

Carry on.

Great fishin dude!

So you believe that if people are misshandeling fish that they should stay quiet about it? If I was mishandling fish and someone offered me advice on how to Handel a fish, I'd welcome that advice and so so should everyone
