    Talking my first monster

    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.

    Nice fish! If my 5yr old was with I would have the camera on him with the fish. Must have been an exciting time to share with your son despite the whole slot limit thing......

    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!

    Default Nice fish

    Dave Nice fish and I am glad you took your son with you. My 6 yr old is hooked for life and just loves to fish with me.

    To the rest which commented on the slot Don,t be so judgmental about him The rules state 1 over 23 per person right? Even the big walleye tour in the bay allow 5 fish per team 2 over 23 right? They did not make sure that the pro caught 1 and the amateur caught the other.

    I have not yet tied into a 30 inch plus but when I do It is going home with me. And if my son is with me and we get 2 Both will be on the wall.

    I know from experience, with 9 & 7 year old boys, it's hard to let them take the rod or count on them to catch "their" fish, but...To me, and that's only my 2 pennies, I would've handed the rod over or let it go.

    "To the rest which commented on the slot Don,t be so judgmental about him The rules state 1 over 23 per person right? Even the big walleye tour in the bay allow 5 fish per team 2 over 23 right? They did not make sure that the pro caught 1 and the amateur caught the other."


    I think it depends on the C.O. on "who caught what". I have witnessed a C.O. ask the kids if they can set/run "their" lines. Luckily I taught them how too, because they had to show him.

    Nice fish anyway,
    Ben

    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?

    Default Really?

    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.

    Default my kids

    Hey just for the record my 5 yr. old is a she, and I dont expect a 5yr old girl to know how to set up a line or want to. She wont touch live bait and just about tears the door off the portable when I crack open the wigglers. However I do set up poles and tip ups for her and give her the oppertunity that Im sure not too many kids get out there to hook a nice fish and then try to land it and if she has trouble Im damn sure not gonna lose the rig by letting her drop it down the hole so Yes I will jump in if she asks and help her land a fish. If a CO wants to right me up for that then so be it. And as for her taking a picture with fish she wont even hold a blue gill unless she can hold the line a foot above the fish even then shes a little squeemish. If any of you guys that are bustin my balls ever wanna come out I can put you on some fish but I guess if your a guide you can find em yourself.

    jerkbait
    p.s. thanks to the others for the support

    Thumbs up Thanks for pics

    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.

    Default hey crapper!

    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.

    Smile Great Job

    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....

    Default Lets Whoa it down a bit here

    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
