Nice looking fish ! What were you using and what time of day was it ? It's great when fish like that go airborn. What a treat ! Did you get any others ? Or, were you too exhausted from wrestling those fatties to the shore ?

[cool]DANG!! Those are some nice looking slime rockets you got there, ocean (especially that first pic)! Nice fish! I gotta get out there before ice on! Maybe the ice will freeze well enough this year to ice fish it too! How much would you guess that first guy weighed?

Good looking fish, but the coolest thing about that picture is your boy (I assume he is yours), a lot of your posts that I see on here have kids in the pictures (it seems to me). I know how frustrating it can be to have a kid with you while you fish, my kids always are throwing rocks in, makeing noise, getting thier lines tangled, ect. I admire you for the example you show to us, I'm sure it took extra effort to get him in those pictures too.

[cool][#0000ff]What kind of minnows? And how long were they?[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Good to hear about the apparent health of that new/old pond. Another good spawn year and we will have ourselves another perch playground.[/#0000ff]

Some of the minnows were about an inch long if that.They were black on top and silverish on the bottom.There were some bigger ones out a little deeper jumping around as it got later in the day .Also there were boils of minnows just scattering for their lives every so often so there must have been a predator chasing them .I also have caught some perch up to 10 inches.They are very abundant in that spot were i have been fishing from.

[font "Impact"][#ff4040][size 3]That looks like a good sized perch. Too bad you have to throw them back there.[/size][/#ff4040][/font]

] ben very sick for the last 2 weeks.Man was it good to get out! [sly] Figured the water might be a litttle cooler so the bows might come out and play.And boy did they play
] Caught 2 male bows the first hour i was there.After my last trip there i remembered how i almost had my rod ripped from my hands.So this time i was ready.Got me 2 of the biggest and fattest bows out of yuba so far![cool] Man did they both put up a fight!They both took several runs and leaps.They fought extremely hard and made me actually work for them. Also when i filleted them i looked in their tummies and they were chuck full of minnows.
