Quoted from zr11990:I’m bored so I thought I would share this.
Have you ever fished the reservoir up in Belton? I used to live in Temple for about 6 yrs. and man we'd go over there and the bass were just monsters. I remember the first one I caught was about 6 lbs. and being an Ohio boy I thought is was a record. Yeah little did I know how big those hybrid bass get! Biggest one I caught was 10.7 lbs. and it was like trying to reel in Moby Dick!!!!
Quoted from zr11990:Is that a carp? It is quite a nasty looking fish. Did you eat it?
We wanted to go back this weekend but now they have shut everything down.
No I don't eat anything I catch just take a pic and return it to the lake. Those carp are a blast to catch they hard really hard fighters.
Quoted from zr11990:Been fishing all my life
I'm supposed to go to Texas later this summer so if that happens maybe we get together and fish. I'll be in Belton for a week and then to Marietta just outside Houston to visit with my family there. Loved Texas but wife has COPD (beginning stage 1 of emphysema) and doesn't tolerate the heat so we moved back to Ohio in '97. Okay with me I can live anywhere!
Okay time to fess up, who here has a lake on their property they can fish in all year round? Lucky bastards
Quoted from gliebig:I call mine "the blob
Good golly miss molly that's a big ass striper!!! How long did you fight him, man I bet that was a titanic struggle. I'd of loved to be there just watch the battle!
Quoted from Tuna_Delight:I do not get into fishing unless someone else supplies the equipment, boat, and know-how. I'll gladly supply the beer though
You ever come to Cincy and I'll loan you the equipment but with a warning: Fishing like pins is highly addictive and may leave feeling like Bill Dance and make large purchases when you get home!
Quoted from gliebig:Not all that long. We use relatively light gear but also that is built to whoop a fish quickly. We try to get them in quick so they aren't drained when we release them.
Yeah when I fish for big cats or carp I use 11 ft rods with 50lb test so I can horse them somewhat because they will fight to the point of dying from the stress when put back. Biggest carp I've caught was 42lbs and the biggest cat (blue) was 86lbs in a pay lake called cedar lake and they'll pay 50 cents a lb. to you when you put them back.
I do a lot of tourney fishing early like now and in the fall when the Blues are active.
Quoted from JY64:Carp are a blast to catch have not done in a long time
Fighters man they give their all right from the beginning.
Quoted from Tuna_Delight:Wish I had a Koi pond.
I have very small decorative pond I put in about 15yrs ago. Had fish in it but honestly they were bluegill I put for two purposes:
1) Bait, use warmouth bluegill when I shovelhead fish early in the spring and late fall I use them for cut bait for blues.
2) When my grandson was really little 1-5yrs old I let him fish for them lol, needless to say he caught them they had nowhere to go.

The land of 15,000 lakes. I've never caught one but I'd sure like too. Those things can upwards of 2-250lbs or more. My other dream fishing trip would be to tarpon fish. Like catching an enormous shiner minnow!
Quoted from northerndude:Within a few miles of my house.
I could possibly catch
Then what in the hell are you doing here? Go get them!! lol We have pretty good size perch here in Ohio.
Quoted from northerndude:Trying!!!
No shack or tent, you are a true warrior! Hope you caught something? Pics for us poor fisherman "not left out in the cold"?
Quoted from zr11990:You are going to get eaten by polar bears
You suppose they think we taste like chicken?
Check out the Lake Trout (12lbs.) this boy caught in Canada (Shabogomo Lake). Damn I'm getting antsy, I may go to the Lake next week, can't go to the stream or river as I've not gotten my license yet this year. Big carp and Blues running this time of year, strippers too in the river.
