With the fishing season coming to a close, I think it would be cool to post the highlights of our season. HERE GOES:
I went to Florida and caught: Dogtooth Snapper, Lane Snapper, Pinfish, Northern Puffer, Striped Mojarra, Flagfin Mojarra, Spotted Seatrout, Sea Catfish, Barracuda, and the biggest fsh of my life: Cownose ray.
NY: Black Seabass (including a potential pool winner, caught and released) a 12 inch Fluke that faught like nothing I've ever had before, a Searobin that dwarfed the Fluke in size, countless tiny Cocktail Bluefish, a big 12 inch Bluefish, (FW) CLOVE LAKE-countless Bluegills/Pumpkinseed/Redbreast Sunfish, a few good sized Bullhead Catfish, a Golden Shiner, 12-inch Largemouth Bass. PROSPECT PARK- 2 big Bluegill: 1 on a spoon, one on bread. a tiny LMB that hit a tiny silver spoon and a big LMB that hit a Rapala Floater, jumped, and threw the hook. CAPE COD: Goose Pond- 4 small LMB on chartruse twister tails, a big LMB hooked/got away (AKA long distance release:WTF
and a soft plastic that got sawed off by what must be Pickerel.
LOWLIGHTS: Getting hooked by a 2nd hook on the leader while unhooking a personal best Bullhead (that would've also broke the jr world record 1 1/2 lb) but only left me attached to a flopping fish
and landed me in the emergency room for 3 hrs. (The nurse said, "Ah, you don't need anestethic. It takes 2 seconds." 3 minutes and countless tugs later, I got the anestethic.) HIGHLIGTS: I returned and caught 10 more Catfish in 2 hrs, a personal best day.
SOOOOO: What are YOUR highlights/lowlights?
