My Fishy!!!!
 

Went fishing today and figured everyone else on HNI is posting pics. of there fishy's so i decided i'd post mine to:D




The fly I was using was like half the size of this little guy. I was fishing over a huge nesting area and figured some nice size female blue gills would be there. Caught a couple nice ones and then this little guy, still don't know how he swallowed that fly hook :D

RE: My Fishy!!!!
 

wow AH, he matches your brain size!

RE: My Fishy!!!!
 

LMAO that's the biggest i've seen! Where is it? I can only see your minnow!![>:]:D:D
Oh man I crack myself up sometimes!!:D

RE: My Fishy!!!!
 

ok on a serious note: i took my friend out fishing and he cought a bass on a lure that was maybe 1/4 the size of the lure it attacked...

RE: My Fishy!!!!
 

That must have been one brutal fight to reel him in :D

RE: My Fishy!!!!
 

AH, i have to correct you,

That is not a Bluegill, it is a Green Sunfish

:D

RE: My Fishy!!!!
 

wow what a giant, you getting him mounted?

RE: My Fishy!!!!
 

When I was fishing Wednesday (The day I lost that musky) I caught a 5 inch rock bass on a 6 inch lure, and the hooks were 2x the size of the fish's mouth. The guide said it was the first time a rock bass has ever been caught while musky fishing :D

RE: My Fishy!!!!
 

LMAO!! Nice!!

RE: My Fishy!!!!
 

Maybe down south but up north thats a blue gill!!! :D

RE: My Fishy!!!!

A Rock Bass is different then a Green Sunfish. Rock Bass are black and brown in color with red eyes.

RE: My Fishy!!!!
 

nope, rock bass are different.

RE: My Fishy!!!!
 

Ha Ha atleast i got the right family :D Anything up here that ain't a crappie is a bluegill, whether it's a green sunfish, a regular sunfish, or a blue gill. I use Bluegill loosely.

RE: My Fishy!!!!

RE: My Fishy!!!!
 

Haha, well Andy, the Warmouth isan entirely separate species of fish from Rock Bass, Green Sunfish and Bluegill.

RE: My Fishy!!!!
