Mike Pike Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Nice job, Uncle Buck. Isn't it sweet when that bite alarm goes off, you engage the baitrunner reel, lift the rod up and feel that train on the end of your line!!! Really nice when everything, right down to the hair rig, works exactly the way it should. That's it.. I'm gonna give 'er a go tomorrow night after work! Thanks for posting!

Victor Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 the feeling is just amazing eh ... hearing the alarm go off and seeing ur lines peeling out from ur reel ... nice fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencoachdog Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 I also like to fish for trash fish as well! I've had more trashcan slams than I can count In some circles I'm known as the Trash King!!! Just because a fish isn't considered a game fish doesn't mean that it isn't a Brute on the end of your line. In some states here the lowly Catfish is considered a gamefish with length and creel limits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach B Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Growing up in Storm Lake, Iowa, we used to throw them on the bank when we caught carp. The Carp Farm is what we called the lake for a few years. I've never actually tried catching them, but I will admit some of the best fights came from carp. Those hard, side-to-side pulls lasted a long time when your a kid using a zebco reel and a five foot rod from the local hardware store. Once and a while the lake would get really low and we'd find huge ones dead on the banks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJL Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Nice fish!...Nothing like hearing the sound of your bite alarm go off...Music to the ears...Or to a lesser extent, the bell to Pavlov's dogs (at least for me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
