my first monster

[jerkbait]

Killed this 31.5" 11.5lb. mama on Sat. night on a JJ Mac Muffin Shiver Minnow tipped with a minnow head. Knew she was a dandy from the strike she really slammed it, and then the battle was on she wasnt too eager to go on my wall but after untangling the line from my transducer cable I gaffed her and started my celebration that lasted till closing time. Also landed a nice 28" male that night. Bite is pretty agressive lately.

I take it there is no more slot

[jerkbait]

I had my 5yr. old with me.

[wyldstallion906]

[Ragboy]

Beautiful fish!!! Which one did your 5 yr old catch?

[CrankYanker]

Dandy Fish man! Wish I could break my 7 lb max streak... Two weeks LEFT!

[rockbass]

I take it there is no more slot

You run a guide service and don't know if there is a slot limit? Unless this your attempt at being a pot stirrer?

Nice fish jerkbait!

Thought it was only 1 over 23 till reopening........ sure doesn't look releaseable right there next to his garage.

[CrankYanker]

It sure bothers me how all of you can razz this guy for this... None of you (almost none) post anything other than BS...... Where's all of your reports?
I bet his kid will be hooked for life.. and for that I commend you jerkbait. Thank you for making a memory he will always carry with him. Way to go, what more can you ask for?

[Phlounder]

The real problem some of you people have with this is that there is not a legal # of humans in the picture? Are photo op's subject to litigation? Let the foolish and narrow minded individuals continue to cast their judgement; they are obviously troubled with the feelings they are having for their fishing partners and have to lash out at someone.

Jerkbait constantly mentions bringing kids with him, constantly gives reports both good & bad and the one time he shows off a couple pigs there are people out there to Piss & Moan about the fact he has 2 fish they really wish they themselves had caught? Attaboy Jerkbait, that is a dandy pair of fish.

It would be nice if someone would start another good 'hater's' thread about the Asian Carp or the Gill Netters or the Slot and leave a guy alone and give him room to show off a couple nice fish he caught with hook and line in a slot limit area that currently is not filled with Asian Carp.

[YooperTroll]

As a father who takes his kid out fishing whenever I can, I for one thank this gentleman for sharing his story and his pictures. And I give him kudos for spending time with his daughter in the outdoors.

i don't think you'll have a problem with the CO's as long as your only setting up 3 lines.

Although, i wish they could write you a ticket for do do' ing off my boat when i took you and your parents salmon fishing last summer (catching a couple) then not pitching for GAS!
or
do do 'ing near my iceshack a couple weeks ago. and telling me u did it..

i think you just got a new nickname.

[schmutzomatic 5000]

Great Job. Not only on the nice fish but also keeping involved with your family. It is hard to get kids involved. They might drop their cell phone or be away from the internet for awhile. And as reports show you also fish with your parents. Thumbs up here. . For god sake don't stand by the buck pole at camp and post. Who knows what they would say then.... Geeeezzzz....

[Walleye Slayer]

Awesome Walleye Jerkbait!!Must have been sum fight?Agian congrats...JEFF......

[The Bait Shop Guy]

...I wish they could write you a ticket for do do' ing off my boat...

FYI, that's what is known as "releasing a Milwaukee brown trout."

[walleyemick]

Heck of a fish buddy! Trophy is anyones book, gotta love a wallhanger and a dinner fish in the same night.

I did not think the slot opened up on March first. So all I was doing was asking a question. Sorry If any one took offense to it. Yes they were nice fish and congratulations. Yes it was great that your little girl was with. I hope it was a enough to get her hooked on fishing for life. Because as a Guide I like to have my customer practice CPR. It is a personal preference and is up to the individual. As for the negative comments my reputation stands on its own merits after 18 yrs of doing ice. If you question any guides ability call the bait shops, motels and other Captains for referrals. As for Big Arn you must not now me. We have never had any shacks off the yellow gate in many years. So lets whoa it down a bit here. This board should be used for information only and not personal attacks.
So have a great day fishing and keep a tight line
