Fish Pics 2007 / 2008

[Eric Haataja]

Post some of your best fish, or most memorable fish of 2007.

I look forward to seeing them.

Probably my favorite fishing a few steelhead pics, one with my son who helped reel in a steelie, and lots of fun in the U.P. with my good friend Steve Everetts.

Oh yea then the one in the middle where I was steelhead fishing on a giant ice flow and the only way to land the fish was to get out on the ice, water was about 5 feet deep below, but plenty of solid ice.

The nighttime bowfishing we did this year was a blast. This 6+ lb largie hit a bronzeye frog 5 feet from the boat in a foot of clear water! A 10 inch surprise out of Monona Bay and last but not least the 10lb+ Walleye I caught on the ol' miss. I'm posting from work so the pics I have here are limited but these are my a few favs from the year.

[Big_D]

Good timing on this thread... I just finished collecting all my 2007 fishing pics not too long ago, to put up on my website for friends/family. Will spare you the server space and just give a link to my page for anyone who's interested:

Oh, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to re-post my 42" musky from this fall... not big by musky standards, but plenty big enough to put a smile on my face. :D Didn't get to do as much Musky chasing as I wanted this year, so I was quite happy to put one in the boat this fall.

[HotHead617]

Here's a couple for me...now the walleye and the northern are not huge but it is the only walleye i caught all year and the pike was caught on a micro light rod 2 pound test and a crappie hook and minnow and no net so it was just as good as a monster.

[OSKEY]

2007 PB Walleye!

[irishqone]

Here are just a few from last year.

Good Luck and Good Fishin'

First time fishing in Lake Michigan ever in Oak Creek. Hooked up with this 30 lb carp on a hand made spinner on the 2nd cast throwing for trout. Didn't find any trout that day but the fight that this big guy gave me made up for it. :D

[Hunter5]

A nice Brown from a few weeks back

[sruege]

[Ben Kueng]

First ski of 2008..I Set the hook and the line snapped..We stayed in the area and on the third cast Bobby dragged in the line that had snapped and hand landed the fish..Otherwise it was a tough bite. Lots of wind,but it did get into the 60s for 2 of the 4 days..Despite the weather It was good to get back in the boat and chase some skis!!

Cant wait for the Southern WI opener!!

[fish4life88]

A couple from Wisconsin River. One 21.5" CPR'd, and one 18" going to the frying
pan.

[trophy taker]

[watrfwlnut]

welcome G loomis...!!! those are some VERY impressive walleye pics...!!! awesome..!!

[Army-Retired]

Nice healthy SM from today (5-28-08) my biggest to date. Fishing from shore I didn't have my fish measurer with me. Picture was taken with cellphone camera which doesn't give this fish justice. All fish released...

[noluck4eyes]

Finally got to visit the beautiful Hayward area again after a 17 year absence. Caught plenty of fish, but no monsters. Walleyes bit well until we got clear skies and a huge mayfly hatch. Bluegills started to make beds at the end of the week. I was going to post pics of fish we caught but I changed my mind - these represent our trip better.

[Eric Haataja]

Few big smallies from this spring, and a great pic with my son Cal!

[deadeternity]

Here are some fish from the past year. Everything from Gar to catfish, walleyes to bass, and whatever else in between......This year has been great some days, and stressful other days but that is fishing........:cool:

[deadeternity]

The 1st picture is of a 27 inch pike but I posted it because it was the cleanest and most beautiful pike I have ever seen. Usually they have some blemishes, not that one.....

[deadeternity]

Here is a mess of pond bluegills from tonight......nice fish my girlfriend and I caught. Her first fishing trip after a very hard weekend of surgery, she was able to last a couple hours. She was up and ready to catch some gills and needed fresh air so we went fishing :).

One bluegill had these tiny white worms in it's fillet and I know they are parasites but I never seen them before and was wondering if anyone knows what causes them, if they are harmful, and so on??????:confused:

Glow Spoon Female Chinook Salmon (9-9-08)

I spent from 6:45pm-10:15pm casting like a maniac trying to connect with some fish from shore. I casted a Firetiger pattern Rapala Minnowrap only to have a huge pike bite the lure right off like it was nothing. Then I tied on glow in the dark spoons for my girlfriend and I and started casting. After at least 2 hours with nothing to show for I decided to make one last stop walking down the pier around 9:30pm. On the second cast I nailed this big and beautiful female chinook. Shortly after I connected with and lost 2 more salmon that decided to show me how fast they could swim towards me. I couldn't gain enough line reeling as fast as I could and the line went slack on both.

Can't wait for the full moon and this week's rain forecast. Maybe more fish will come in and the moon will trigger a feeding response.....

[deadeternity]

SALMON and BROWN TROUT FROM THE PAST FEW DAYS OF FISHING FROM SHORE AT NIGHT

[deadeternity]

My girlfriend finally knows why we stand around on the breakwalls and rocks for hours casting our arms off. Once you hook into one of these creatures you then know you are not the one able to say you are the strongest creature on this planet. These fish don't get horsed around, they will horse you......

[deadeternity]

Some pics from last weeks fishing trips to Milwaukee Harbor. Caught the Northern Pike in the first picture on a crankbait while casting for salmon. And the salmon were all caught on a slipbobber and skein.........

[NOBADDAYS]

here is my biggest tuna in a while almost 2bills

[NOBADDAYS]

some dbles and these take about half hour to reel in...big one took over 2 hours.

[NOBADDAYS]

This one with Blue stripe is a Rainbow and fights twice as hard as a Salmon does the other is a nice sail @ 120lbs my girl caught.

[blitzfish]

Those are some great fish. I wish i could go there someday. When you go out fishing there, you never know what you're going to catch out there!

[samthemaster]

my first steelie on fly rod about a month and a half ago. thanks to fishinislife he helped me a ton!

[Eric Haataja]

That is an awesome pic!

[samthemaster]

i caught this female coho this morning at that spot.

[blitzfish]

thats a cool looking hen there sam. That's cool how you get the pictures with the falls behind you. I'm hoping to get out that way sometime this weekend. not sure if I want to go there or go to the menomonee. should be a decent push of fish from this rain were getting today and tomorrow. this is only the beginning of the best!

[samthemaster]

a young buck

[walleyewackr]

kind of a dumb question, but was wondering if anyone knows how to downsize your photos, been tryin to put some on here but they are to big

[samthemaster]

what i do might be a bit complicated. i open the file with a minimized window, and press the "print screen" key. then from there, the picture should be smaller. i paste it on paint and just edit out the picture and paste it on a new file and then save it.

[HotHead617]

You could use the lake-link resizing tool or i use a website called photo bucket to store and resize photos.

[Bigman]

This is my personal best from last year, she was 47" on the nosehttp://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h43/djbizeone/47best-hi.jpg

[Hunter5]

Just got back from Mexico

[Hunter5]

One more. Yummy

[Eric Haataja]

I bet that was some tasty fish Greg!

[Hunter5]

Yes those fish were yummy :). And fun to catch. When do you want to Mexico and catch some Eric?

[Joe Murphy]

Hey Bigman is that a wingra fish? Im pretty sure i got a pic of me holding that same exact fish. got it in sept on a cowgirl

[.Pan Handler]

A lot of the same fish get caught on Wingra (which makes sense considering its size). I saw the same skinny 46 caught twice this year in our boat, first in May and then in September. A bunch of other fish too that were eerily similar. Another funny thing is you, Bigman, and my buddy all caught the same 41 within a 4 day span in September or early October (you might remember it, it had a big split in its tail, and it was caught by the deep hole everytime). My buddy got it on a dawg, then I think you and Bigman caught it on suckers consecutive days after that. Poor fish, everything it ate had hooks in it :)

[Eric Haataja]

That's the awesome thing about catch and release!!!! Nice fish guys!

[flunker24]

A few fish I caught in the milwaukee river late summer/fall pre-spawn.

[flunker24]

another

[salmonman]

A 24" 8LB largemouth I got on November 3, 2007. This thing was extremely fat. Didn't bring the cooler otherwise I may have put it on the wall. Made it into the In-Fisherman magazine for this catch. Biggest largemouth I have ever caught and the biggest of all my family.

[addison]

Here's a few pier fishing in Sheboygan Summer 2008. Best morning was 12 salmon/trout and we hooked up with one every other cast off the pier. Definitely a morning I'll never forget. :D
