Sorry bad cell phone vid. A few post back I explained when chumming for sharks we run a bait on the bottom, one mid way and a floater. In my experience the bottom bait under the boat gets hit 85% of the time. The mid range gets hit 14.8% of the time. But when that .2% shows up it’s cool. The shark swims fin out of the water tail swinging in the ocean and leaps on the bait. Probably won’t show on a small screen.

Love the sound of that drag running out!

Darn kid!
I’ve told him not to leave the rod in the rod holder and reel in big fish. He’s already got the screws pulled out of the fiberglass on one of them.
He sends me this today.
apparently a 12 foot hammerhead did not like the sight of the boat. So it broke a pole and left with a $300 reel.

I think you need to change the leaders on those reels when you are not there ...

Freshwater fish may not be as thrilling, but we came home with all our tackle! The July bite on the Cass Lake chain is getting tougher. Getting to be an after dark bite. My oldest son Chris caught the 3 biggest fish of the week. Wouldn't be another year if we didn't get accused by a MN resident of coming to their state and "stealing all their fish". This time he said it used to be all the NE guys and now it's all the IL guys. Lol. I told him we're going home with 35 walleye and left around $5K in his state. He didn't say much.

My wife's grandpa, who also happened to be a very dear friend of mine died about 10 days ago. We had a little private memorial service for him last Wed. On Thursday, I decided to head up north to get some work done and maybe try a little fishing. He LOVED to fish for sunfish/bluegills so I took a trip in the 12 foot boat and rowed out to a secret spot on a secret lake and absolutely hammered them. I could hear him laughing the whole time while those big dinner plates spun in circles and the northerns and loons chased them around as I reeled them in. I ended up catching well over 100 in about 3 hours. I put the biggest ones back and kept a limit of smaller ones for the frying pan. I caught one on damn near every cast and they bit on the entire tackle box.

False albacore or little tunny. Not to be confused with Bonita.
first one we’ve caught. It was a fighter. I’ve read everything from sushi grade tuna to great shark bait but don’t eat it.
My sons old school roommate is visiting. It’s on ice for shark bait tomorrow. :)
we’ll try the next one we catch on the grill.
Didn’t get a good pic. That little fish is 6 inches thick.
It devoured a teaser rig when we were trolling.

Last post was the first one we ever caught. Can’t say that anymore. I did a little reading up on how to target them. Put 7 in the boat today. For a small fish these guys are power houses. False albacore. And my son just cooked one in a cast iron frying pan. Not fresh tuna but seasoned right it wasn’t bad.

never thought of it that way but that is exactly right. Nature creates the best camo....
