@Rabeats2093 that’s right Black hole was the name. My favorite was a time he took me to Orwell creek and we were steelhead fishing. Those guys put up a nice fight for their size.

not this year, but a quality topwater late season bass, not weighed, just quickly released, maybe 30 seconds max out of water. maybe 30+lbs too 
Not a soul around for hours, until i landed this thing. then i saw some heads pop up 
a truely beautiful fish. not a mark on it. the killing of these animals must stop. save the bass by not killing them.

@Upstate, Pickerel fishing is fun. I like throwing a Mepps or panther martin small spinner and they hook right up.

Well the Mississipi river is very low at 8 feet but thechannel is deeper so the barges can navagate up channel. Were I live the river runs east to west – but normally runs south to north - this is becasue many years ago there was a eartquake that changed the flow of the Mississippi Here is the Midwest were are on a “vault” which is even bigger than the one in California Great picrue to all that posted - be nice to seart some fresh fiah - the river isn’t frozen yet , maybe I will throw a line in today.

Hard to beat a number 4 gold panther martin with orange tail. Trout, Bass, Pickerel…
The biggest Pickerel always went for a Daredevil. Great old lure for the lunkers! But panther martins always brought the most action.

Never hunted before, would definitely like to try though, been meaning to take hunter safety for a couple years now where I live and just haven’t gotten the time together to do it. Pretty much spend every free minute I have in the spring and summer fly fishing for trout and bass though.
