Best story I've got is one about catching catfish. My uncle had 120 acres just up the road with a creek running through it. He developed both sides of the creek and sub divided it. He dug a pond out close to the road. Before he sold very may lots,we went up there fishing in that pond. The catfish were biting just as fast as we could drop a line in the water. We got tired of baiting the hook and just started dropping the bare hooks in. They were still biting as fast as we could reel them in and take them off the hook.
 
That's nothing RR, I knew about a pond once where I'd just show up and the fish would jump out of the water right into my creel, I didn't even have to use a line, hooks, or bait.
 
You mean the fish was driving? Holy smokes, yer right, I can't top that !!!! Unless he was driving a Barracuda !!!
 
My cousin went out one day and a nice trout lay in his driveway. Only thought was an eagle had dropped it since he lives near the river.
 
I brought home a mess of crappies one time, put them on a bench to clean them. Laid the knife down, went into the house to get something, and when I came out, they had gutted and scaled themselves!

But all seriousness aside, that's a nice bass, Larry- and it can't be a "fish story" because you have photographic evidence. As is often said on here, "If there's no pics, it didn't happen."

Now, where did I put that picture of the crappies? I know its around here somewhere. . .
 
Back when I was a kid, and fish were plentiful, we used to wait for the herring and shad to run down on the river. The white and yellow perch ran about the same time, and we used to use 6' dip nets to catch them. We'd eat some over an open fire and still come back with a wash tub full for smoking.

Just after the forsythia bloom is also a great time for the crappie to run over in Loch Raven. When we fished over there, the hardest part was to find out what color shad dart to use. All we did was to throw the dart out and reel it in. But, they could be real finicky about what color they would bite on, and would sometimes abruptly change. A yellow dart didn't work anymore, but they'd knock the stink out of a red one. Ahh, days gone by....
 
When I was a teenager the local funeral home owner and a bunch of his friends went fishing in the Yadkin river with one of the old telephones that somehow you rigged up to shock catfish Kent was sitting in the boat cranking the old telephone and clowning around the game wardens name was Frank Mackie Kent was cranking the phone and saying come in Frank Mackie and Frank was hidden on the bank and answered said I hear you loud and clear come on in Kent this was in the 50s and I think the fine was a hundred dollars each.
 
Did ya ever watch the Munsters?Herman casted so far it went across the lake to a campfire where a camper was cooking a fish.The hook landed in the fry pan,and Herman reeled a a cooked trout.
 
We just call him the fish guy. He comes down out of Minnesota a couple times a year. Drives a pickup truck with a big ice box on it. We've bought from him for many years. He used to get his fish from a fish market on Lake Superior, but I think he just buys from a vender now. Still, it is very good fish.
 
My parents house was about a mile up the hill from a catfish farm.

They sold live fish, also let people fish for so much a pound. They could then clean the fish there on site.

I guess they just threw the heads and guts out on the field, because they would end up in the yard.

Buzzards were everywhere! They would drop them in the strangest places. I had to watch my dog when I brought her out, she would try to eat the heads with the fins still on, and loved to roll in them!
 
That is a walleye. Eight pounds, 2 ounces on my refrigerant scale. Problem was, you can only keep one over 20 inches long and I caught a larger one that I had to let go that day. Lot of walleye fisherman don't cater to keeping them big ones but I hadn't got hold of one like that for years. Fact is I caught another one just like it a few days later and another just a half pound lighter a few days after than. Then it was all over.
 
My brother caught a fish. After removing the hook, he reached back into the water to wash his hand. A musky had followed the fish to the boat and it was still there. After that he said he always looks into the water before he puts his hands in the water.
 
Nice fish. I remember as a kid I caught an eel about 48" long on the Jacks Fork river. Scared the dickens out of me when I drug it in, it was at night and it balled up like a snake, wasn't sure it wasn't.
 
Walleye is a very good eating fish. Most restaurants do a good job preparing it. Culver's fast food restaurants serve walleye during lent that is good too, actually for fast food it is very good.
