I would like to share some highlights of my fishing season with you, but what I really would like is for you to share some of your spring/summer fishing highlights with me! I know there are some good fish to be had yet this fall, but I know some of us start hunting and put away the fishin rod...

To kick it off I'll start w/ my canada trip begining of june.

Some local walleyes!(Duluth)

Some others!

Lets see yours!

Thanks, but no pics to share? One of my favorite parts of this site is seeing all the different fish caught throughout the different areas...

Here is my buddy with a red salmon from the Kenai River on our trip to Alaska.

This is the other 8 fish we got in about an hour and a half of fishing. Cant see them all but there buried in there somewhere.

A grizzly we ran into.

Here is my second and biggest Musky yet. Caught basically in my back yard.

Here are my hightlights from this year's open water season:

Appreciating the beauty of a "rough fish"

Introducing a youth to Catfishing and explaining the differences between a Catfish and a Roughfish:

not to mention all fun stuff inbetween.

Boy it was fun!!

my biggest ever

My fiance's son's first smallmouth ever. if you could have seen me in this pics my smile is bigger than the one of me and my fish.

new PB lake trout - 7lbs

new PB northern - 37''

first time seeing a bear swimming

first musky ever (and obviously setting another new PB @ 48'')

and my second musky ever, same day as the one above, caught on a senko! lol. Not a new PB (44'') but still a highlight.

This IS a new PB musky. 48'', but heavier than my first!

First fish caught on a homemade fishing lure. Not my biggest salmon this year, but that was certainly the highlight, nothing more satisfying than a "do-it-yourself" lure performing better than the store-bought stuff

New PB carp at 15lbs

And to top it off, new PB snapping turtle (no fishing pole needed for this guy, just some guts!)

This has been the best year for fishing for me EVER. It probably helps that I'm more "into" fishing than I've ever been. It has also been my first full season fishing MN! I sure love living here full time now. Looking forward towards next season, and many more!

Great pics everyone, I love seeing that so many people had so much fun and great fishing/outdoors this past season.

Looks like everyone had a great summer of fishing. I need to buy a camera.

[MinnesnowtaWild]

Nice fish everyone...hopefully this thread will keep rolling so we can see everybody's big fish.

[fishinfey8]

Yeah thanks for the pics so far people, some real dandies out there! Keep em coming I think we all enjoy every species from any location!
