strange catch

[Drock6687]

I was bass fishing in a local river last night when i had a massive hit, thought maybe a random pike that for some reason was swimming where it shouldnt be or maybe a turle... was using a mid water crank bait and was shocked that this guy came up to hit it....

I had a day of "steelhead" fishing in a river with cranks...

 

20+ suckers... 0 steelhead...

 

I was blown away

I seen a 30+lb carp in the grand river inhale a hot n tot while trolling for walleye. Had the whole bait down its throat

I bet it felt hyyyyuge when it took the crank.

 

These guys put up a great fight. I sometimes go stand in the rapids and cast ripple shad for them, they love those baits

Yup, I was fishing Quinte, tossing jigs up on a shallow shelf and pulling the jig down the drop off.

I have one zoom at my jig from a good ten feet way, V wake and all and it hit like a freight train... thought it might be a pike until I got it to the boat and saw the mighty river hogg on my line...

Oh well, it fought good!

I was downrigging for trout in 65FOW and my gang troll was down half that depth and I caught one of those buggers. I still don't know how he managed to do it. Dang whistling trout!

I saw where a guy caught a 60lb flat head catfish on a lake about an hour north of me trolling a crank bait for walleye.
