Stretching time

[Lost Pole]

It all aligned for me n the lady. Never happens, so something had to go right. River is wild so found a quiet calm overflow. Had two hours bf dark. Threw back as many as we caught. Not a big haul but will be highly memorable and good fish were kept.
Got a good pic of Helianthus but she'd shoot me.......
And since she out fished me in the keeper window, I'll abide

Those are some big Papas! Nice gills too. Man im chomping at da bit! So what was on da hook?

 

[Lost Pole]

Thx Heath, Mel n Ro Do.
As far as bait, same as last trip. View attachment 8


If the jig was lower than 2', you were on the bottom and outta catching range. Keep it at 16" or less and you were catching. I'm better in the fall n wish I had a 12' or 14' pole. Either that or I'll have to float fish.
She had fun. Just hope it wasn't a spoiler.
Really happy just to fish with smiles

A nice mess of fish, congrats to both of you. Nothing wrong with float fishing, been doing it for over 50 years and it still a thrill watching the float disappear.

 

[Outlawelectric]

Congrats to you both! Nice catch!

 

[Kdog]

Good'uns! That looks like a lot of fun....

 

[StumpHunter]

Very nice haul! I enjoy watching the float go under, congrats on the time fishing and catching.

 

[Pepop]

I just love me some slabs in their "Courtin' Colors"! Great catch & nice combinations on the jigs!

 

[AtticaFish]

Dang those look like chunks. How wide is that iron board?

Sounds like a wonderful day - glad you (she) found them

 

[toadfrog]

OOH BABY , needs me some ah them . Since I seem to have lost the ability to catch any kind of fish feel free to send me some fillets . Prolly would help if I'd get out of this chair and find some water .

 

[Lost Pole]

Thx for looking and the nice comments guys.

Russ, the ironing board is 22" in width....

Toad, c'mon down. You need some Louisiana in your life.

 

[Radtexan]

[AtticaFish]

22"............ think you've been sippin' on grandpa's old cough medicine. :trollin:

 

[Lost Pole]

Russ, you don't miss much but I wAs checking ur call back ratio
13 1/4" exact. Measured when got home bc u had me wondering.
Nothing wrong with gramps syrup though.

Rog, Scott is too busy with the 3lbers too worry about his board.
Easy pickings.
