Fishing?

[Bubbatn]

Any Fishermen out there?

I am a big fisherman myself. If I could, I would go fishing everyday, or at least every other day...haha.

Just this past year, I have gotten into Musky Fishing pretty exclusively, but still enjoy fishing for anything from Musky, down to bluegill..haha.

So what about it? I know some of you guys gotta be fishermen.

Been learning three years now. Lucky that my in-laws upgrade their equiptment and I get hand me downs. Never been Musky fishing, if your willing to teach, I'd be happy to learn. I mainly fish trout at Caney Fork, and Priest Lake area........

Can't say that I am. I fish the OK Hunting lake near Jonesboro, AR. And when you catch a fish every other cast, that ain't fishin'.

I love to flyfish below Dale Hollow Dam. I bass fish every now and then. And I love saltwater fishing.

I fly fish, bass, cat, and just fish. "A bad day fishing is better than a good day at work"

Where do you Musky fish? I did a little when I lived up north, loved Walleye fishing too.

Mainly Melton Hill Lake, but there are several rivers in the area that hold a pretty descent population of musky as well. As well as several lakes&rivers in middle TN as well.

I love to fish. Right now all I really do is trout fish with a crappy fly rod and reel but I find that more enjoyable than fishing from the shore (no boat). When I was a kid we had a john boat and went fishing nearly daily on the bayou. The good thing about the bayou was you never came home empty handed.

I'd trout fish more but I run into people who seem to more interested in the trout fishing look and how much they spent on their rod than they are in catching fish. I'm, out there to catch fish (and let them go usually), wade and talk to friends (I talk too much, ask OhShoot). I'm generally not interested in gear comparisons. Look, I appreciate that someone saw a River Runs Through it and spent several thousand dollars on gear to get the look but I'm after fish.

Oh, sorry about the rant. there are muskie in TN? I never knew...

[Guest jackdm3]

Catch & Release Only with musky...

I keep the crappie, catfish, and the occasional big bluegill for my eatin' fish.

My father an I love to go fishing, never get to go as much as we once did but it is fun when you find them!!

[Guest mosinon]

Oh, you are holding the fish all wrong. See you are supporting the spine with your left hand when it should be my hand holding the fish up.

Fantastic pics. I see at least three different times you caught really nice fish, are you trying to make me jealous? If so, call it a day and hit the sack, you win.

As far as catch and release goes ANY fish I'm not eating gets released.

If can provide more if needed! I've caught 6 this year so far here in TN, and this guy I caught on my trip to Canada in August....

[BrasilNuts]

Peacock Bass, Silves, Amazonas Brazil.

Steelhead Trout, Prince of whales Island, SE Alaska.

[Bubbatn]

Brasil! Those are two places I would love to go and fish....The Amazon and Alaska. Nice pics!

[Guest mikedwood]

I love trout fishing and cat fishing.

[tennessee01tacoma]

I like to fish when i have time i fish for anything, I have been musky fishing a couple times haven't caught one yet but have been with guys when they caught them.

x2 on the catch and release only on muskie it takes several years for one to grow to a trophy size (40"+)

I have a few muskie baits my stepdad and I used to make ans sell on ebay, they are pretty good at least in our fishing holes

[Guest db99wj]

Yep. Bass, Bream, crappie. Only problem, not able to go enough.

[Guest 22-rimfire]

I mostly trout fish. Have started fishing for warm water species from a kayak in the last year or so.

Peacock Bass... now I'm jealous. I been down that way, but never had time to fish.

[brooksjr]

I like to catch anything that bites. Everything is always so small though:)

One of these days maybe I will get a trophy!!!

If any of you guys ever wanna "wet a line", feel free to shoot me a pm. I'm always up for fishing with someone new. Or if anyone would like an "introduction" to musky fishing, again...feel free to let me know.

My daughter and I love to fish. Our neighborhood has a stocked pond with bass, crappie and bream. She also loves to fish in the ocean. Here are a couple of pics from this summer. She even catches our bait.
