Fishing Photos

My Grandson loves to Bass Fish every Saturday. He is a great fisherman and loves the sport. He tells me he wants to be a pro fisherman some day.

One of my favorite fishing memories happened recently. Although I have many memories growing up, this recent one sticks in my mind. Lately, I have really gotten into fishing. I have tried to learn more, take it more seriously and really tried to target fish. Last summer I was fishing on Lake Poygan in central Wisconsin. I had been fishing this particular channel that went off the lake on a point. A week before I had gotten a fish up to the boat but lost it somehow. It was a big fish and I was really upset. I threw more casts out there but never got another bite. That fish haunted me for a couple weeks, and then next time I got up there I went back to the same spot. I made a great cast and immediately got a hit, but missed it. I spent about 20 more minutes working this point and finally I guess a Texas rig would be too good to resist and I finally caught a nice largemouth. It wasn't a world record but I was stoked because I worked so hard to get that fish,and I finally got it! That really propelled my love for fishing and can't wait to get the next one!

My family and I went on a fishing trip to Southern Baja California, Mexico a few months ago. We had the chance to camp out on the shores of the Mexican beach. On one of those days, I caught a Kelp Bass which I took home to show the rest of my family. It's one of the biggest ones I've caught so far. It was great!

An impressive 7 lb 9 oz largemouth bass.

Sometimes you out fish your boyfriend. This gorgeous brim was caught in a secret fishing hole in Crump, TN.

My granddaughter and I (along with our guide) fishing in Alaska for Grayling and Sockeye Salmon. Here is a photo of Ciara unhooking a small grayling. 

I caught this bass while fishing with my friend at her lake! 

Caught this 9 pound catfish on a jug we put out, using a live shad as bait. First jug catch of the year!   

My dad loves fishing and I love going fishing with my dad. We love getting up early together to go fishing on the lake. On this particular morning we were fishing for walleye (there was the perfect "walleye chop" on the water as my dad calls it). However we kept catching white bass, which are beautiful, and sheepshead. So as a last ditch effort we began trolling toward the boat landing when I landed this 24.5 incher. At first, because it was fighting, I thought it was another sheepshead. Imagine my surprise when out came this gorgeous walleye-just what we had been looking for!

Been raining for 4 weeks here in Texas, finally got a break!

Pulled in this big boy fishing top water at dusk using a hula popper! 

Caught in small pond in New Hampshire

I was out fishing by my house and pulled this guy out.

I have always loved fishing. In fact, I am very good at fishing...unfortunately it is the catching part that often eludes me. My fishing partner is usually my brother-in-law. He seems to have the catching part down much better. We fish small rivers in Frederick County in Maryland from his canoe. I do catch fish on these trips but rarely as many as him. In the attached photo you you will see how he can add insult to injury by hooking two bass on the same lure. This sums up how our trips pan out. But as I said... I love the fishing so any catching that takes place is purely icing on the cake.

This Striper was caught at Raystown Lake in PA.  It was a small one compared to what my husband caught, but it sure was fun reeling in.

Tonya joined our Lower Columbia River walleye fishing club 2 years ago and as a rookie turned out to be the greatest natural angler we have seen around here. She is able out fish nearly anyone and nearly always catches the most and largest Walleyes. She was voted to be our club vice president but now has a career move to Colorado. While looking for a farewell gift I saw the classy American Expedition Coffee Mug with the Walleye imprint and knew she would like it.  Thanks for having it available. I have purchased it for her.

Got to Love Bass through the ICE!
