adolson Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Ahhh, I just thought of a great fishing moment! I went to go ice fishing with my uncle, stepdad, and one of my brothers. He was just a little kid at the time, and hyper (ADHD or something). Anyhow, we had no luck on a lake so we went to a trout farm. My brother caught one, and got super excited and was jumping up and down. I was video-taping this, by the way. My stepdad goes, "be careful! you're going to step in one of the holes!" and my brother is backing up yelling, "I got a fish! I got a fish!" when, bloop! Leg right into one of the holes. We did laugh. He did cry. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Caster Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 wow, great stories everyone! Mine is a numbers day. In northern Alberta, me and a pal took off work and fished with home-made lures. Over a dozen Pike over 15lbs and uncountable walleye. The bar was set! Biggest pike I've ever seen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live2fish85 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I have plenty of great memories of fishing but by far the memories that stand out the most and make me realize why I love fishing as much as I do is because of my grandfather. I remember going to the cottage in Port Dover and we would get up at 5 and go get worms and then out in the boat we would go to get lots of perch. Always stayed with me and I am glad it did.

adolson Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Could you post that video? I'll have to ask my mom if she still has it.. This was many years ago. I do recall talk of sending it into America's Funniest Home Videos, but I don't think it ever got sent. It was pretty funny, except for the fact that right as his leg was fully submerged I hit stop - I wasn't expecting it and was already in motion to stop recording. I hit record again as soon as I could, so it kinda cut from leg down the hole, to him bawling his eyes out. If she has it still, I have a capture card and a VCR, so I could get it onto YouTube. I'll email her and find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) When I was a young lad and school was out for the summer, I was sent to the farm to help out my grampa and his sister (him in his seventies and her in her eighties)... The odd weekend my grampa and I headed up to Cesarea to stay at my uncle's cottage and I caught my first big bass... The part I remember the best is when we got back to the farm and showing the fish to my great-aunt..."Oh" she said "did your grandfather catch that?"... I touched her arm (she was hard of hearing and used a "trumpet" to hear better) to get her to look at me and I shook my head and pointed to my chest and mouthed "ME" "Oh My!" she exclaimed and her eyes lit up bright as can be... Ain't memories great ?...I just relived that moment... Edited July 28, 2011 by Beans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squid Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) My favorite moment came when a friend of mine was fishing with me for walleyes up north, He hooked into what he thought was a huge walleye which ended up being a 14 inch FAT perch. He grabbed the fish and showed it to me and said "look at the size of this perch, its HUGE!" I agreed and he turned the fish towards him belly facing and the perch proceeded to milk him in the face the mouth and down his shirt. He screamed and at this point I was on the floor of my boat holding my stomach from laughing so hard. He then asks me if there is any "stuff" left on his face or around his mouth!!! Has to be the funniest moment of my life while fishing. Edited July 28, 2011 by Squid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donovac Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 This summer fishing with my two older brothers at Lake St. Clair for small mouths. First time we've ever fished together and we slayed em. Would have been great without all of the fish, but was even better because of them all. #2 is a buddy and I go fishing once a year in Canada, at a different place. Fishing might been up and down, but it is always the best week of year for me. Next week we are going to Lake Beteau and we can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosebunk Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Man... it's a close race... but so many truly remarkable things went into and came out of this. And it still gets experienced over and over again in memory. A good few already know mine... http://ontariofishingcommunity.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=23546 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 It's hard to pinpoit it even down to a couple, but firsts for just aboot anything are typically the most memorable 1. My first ever fishing trip, reeling in big ol barn animals in the dead of winter out off the warm water discharge 2. The first 'no parents' fishing trip' was spent in Algonquin catching smallmouth hand over fist 3. 15 lb brown caught on 6' ultralight caught in the dead of winter ...are the first that pop into the mind, but too many honorable mentions, and I'm sure most agree that their favourites could change at any given time.

brw Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Hey Wondering what some of your favorite fishing memories are... Whether it was a day filled with fish or special moments... For me... A couple come to mind... My wife's big musky... We were live bait fishing and she got a bite... So I told her to feed him line... Then I asked if she wanted me to set the hook for her... NO!!!! She said... I wanna do it myself... She set and the battle was on... I could tell it was big... Then she got it boatside and her face went a bit pale... It was 48 inches at least... Then it decided to fight and marissa ended up hunched over the side of the boat saying "I can't do it... I can't do it...". So I asked if she wanted me to take the rod..."No... ITS MY FISH" she yelled back... At this point I'm laughing at her behavior... Then we finally landed the beast.... We both had big smiles... Then I told her a lot of people never get a Muskie that big... She was proud of her fish and so was I... These are the types of days that I remember... How about you? A few years ago on Georgian Bay, we had one of those dream days. We caught 14 walleye one morning and 11 of them were over the 22 in. slot limit. My 2 sons and my father in law all caught 10 lb walleyes, and I landed a few in the 7-8 lb range. Our honey hole produced all week and we were the only ones fishing it.....shhhh...don't tell anyone!
