Photo sharing...Panfish

[Cyberfish]

I got blessed with another great outing with Jack and Cory catching lots of nice panfish. We were tightlining jigs tipped with various plastic minnows.I tried my usual float methods with no sucessbut found out later I was not set deep enough,the fish were down 6 to twelve feet and would usually not move too far to bite, but if you got it close enough they would hit hard!

A perfect morning

What pool on the river do you mostly fish? Ive been having similiar success on pool 4 while everyone else is fishing for walleye

[Cyberfish]

Tims, we got those in 5, we sometimes fish 4 in the wabasha area too.

Decoy....I was running back through all the panfish photo sharing of the summer and I got to say that the photo you posted of the little boy with the cracker in his mouth, the puffed out cheeks and that huge sunnie is one of the best I've seen of a kid enjoying fishing! That picture could win a photo contest, did you send that to the Star Trib?

A person can get happy and have their day brightened, just by looking at a picture like that, almost a real life Norman Rockwell!

[Scott M]

That is an awesome picture. I bet you could have it professionally fixed, maybe one of the guys in the photo sharing forum would be willing to do it for free. Then send that sucker in to some contests or places where they need kid's photos...It's a doozy!

UH OH! I can imagine what some of the next replies may be about!

[Kyle Sandberg]

What does it matter if they kept those fish? I know what everyones argument is gonna be but please, lets just look at the pics and congratulate them on the catch.

Nice fish guys.

[ole matty]

nice slabs! bet it made a best fish sandwich?

[Corey Bechtold]

15.5" probably made for a nice mount to remember an awesome day. Great fish!!!

Good fishing,

yea this isnt an everyday occurance for me to keep this many fish. my friends and i just enjoy a meal of fish now and then, dont we all? We may keep a group of fish this large 3 or four times a year max. I also practice catch and realease on all my other species i just love eating panfish... Hope this doesnt affect anyone if so i can remove my post.

Thanks

nice fish and there is no need to delete the pictures only would like to see more!! this site loves c&r and so do I but some people like to put down anyone that catches alot of big fish or keeps any big fish.....to each their own!!! Nice catch!!!!!!

[PerchPounder]

Made it out on a local pond today on 4" of ice. only kept 6 gills and 6 perch but threw back too many to count.
