Best Fish this year.

[fievel9922]

nice fish that salmon fishing sure is a blast.

[hanson]

Uh... Is this an ice fishing topic or an open water topic? Or maybe it doesn't matter. But its in the Ice Fishing Forum. Hmmmm...

I wanna see some more ice fishing photos!

[fievel9922]

sorry got side tracked dreaming of open water and looking through the photo album from last year.

[hanson]

Some of us just can't let winter go. But then again, this winter has been so bad for most people that open water photos might be all they have.

[fievel9922]

was that a ribbing of some sort

The topic DID say best fish last year.......don't make me do it

[Captain B.R.K]

Hanson and Dtro- Catfish don't count! We said fish....not rough fish...LOL

[Captain B.R.K]

fievel9922 - give me a shout at brandjenn at charter dot net and I can at least give you a general idea. I didn't have my gps on and Hanson had me blindfolded when he took me out there

dtro- If we had an award for THE fish of the year, I think you won it with that flattie of yours.

Hmmm... There's an idea. The FishingMinnesota Fish of the Year award. (C&R'd of course)

Sticking to ice fishing... here's a couple.

27" walleye

30 some inch pike

I think you're right Hanson. Tough/short year on the ice. Photo library is a little short on quality for me this winter. Been fishing lakers mostly and I've got nothing worth posting. Both these fish were caught fishing lakers so I can only take partial credit. Not bad bonus fish though.

Hey fievel, nice salmon. Do you ever smoke those?

[hanson]

Thats what I'm talking about!

[marine_man]

Even though I didn't get out too much this year (to this point anyway) I did manage a nice 10 lb Greenback walleye:

I also managed some smaller walleyes (7lbs 11 oz, 5 lbs 9 oz)

That's about the extent of it so far... I'm hoping for a big northern on devils lake in a couple of weeks though...

Just yesterday at Long Point, 3-02-06 caught my biggest fish. I caught, photoed & released a 32" pike! It barely fit up the 8" hole, I never believed guys before when they said you need a big 10 inch. It took over 15 minutes to bring in. It rapped all the lines in the house & pulled 1 rod down the hole, what a mess but exciting, Guess Lake of the woods wasn't so bad this year after all!

My best fish of the year was a 17 rainbow that was caught by my son Hunter. It can be seen in the Trout Forum under the Courthouse Pond post.

I've had a pretty fun winter, a 16" perch, 15" crappie and about a 28" walleye

kept me fairly well entertained until trout season finally opened. First gunflint trip of the year gave up this dandy 20" rainbow.

A day trip produced another 20" rainbow, this 21.5" brown

and a few lakers like this.

One more gunflint trip to go, hopefully I can get that one big laker I've been after.

[marine_man]

Sorry for the delay TV Boy.. here's the pic.. nice fish!

[toddb]

32" LOTW

29" LOTW

29" LOTW

29 3/4" LOTW

41" LOTW

27" LOTW- lots of fish this year in the 25 to 27" range on LOTW. The future is looking brighter with the new slot.

toddb

[DTro]

Ok you made me do it, just cuz I'm itchin for open water and the fact that not only was this my best fish last year, but probably of my entire life.........

Looks like I need to stalk toddb up on LOW...nice eyes!
