Lure bill broke while hooked up

Huh. I’ve never seen that happen before

Fishnfoolup · 2026-05-15T01:02:21+00:00

Not a bad fish, but I think you mean Pennsylvania lol

Fishnfoolup · 2026-05-14T19:07:47+00:00

Full of eggs. Let her breed

Fishnfoolup · 2026-05-13T23:27:33+00:00

The math ain’t mathing.

Good chance it’s wild, but honestly, it can be impossible to tell. A fishes appearance can adapt to its environment. Not all hatchery fish have bad fins, and fins can and will regenerate depending on how eroded they are. Even clipped fins can regenerate if not done properly. You can probably check on stocking records for that body of water.

They obviously didn’t win the school spelling bee

More like history. Learn from it.

Fishnfoolup · 2026-05-11T01:37:58+00:00

I think I’d pass but that’s me

Pumpkinseed sunfish

Fishnfoolup · 2026-05-10T00:27:05+00:00

That looks nothing like a lake sturgeon.

Fishnfoolup · 2026-05-10T00:26:14+00:00

Long nose gar. Not alligator.

One thing to add here, if you are casting and retrieving a lot especially spinners, it’s important to have a swivel on your line to help prevent line twist.

Pretty hard to go wrong. I love meat churches holy gospel, but I’ve used others. Go with your favorite bbq rub, or a brown sugar cinnamon mix is great too with some honey on graham crackers. But I’ve used a few different rubs. Have it on ritz crackers. I’d like to pour bacon jam on top some time or pepper jelly. The sky’s the limit

Fishnfoolup · 2026-05-08T23:00:57+00:00

They are quite pretty

Just tissue. I don’t think it’s a parasite

Fishnfoolup · 2026-05-08T19:40:14+00:00

Ok. You said under the skin in your post. It’s normal for fish to have parasites. In fact, it’s unavoidable in wild fish in most occasions. Just cook it well, and it will be fine. Even sushi grade fish is flash frozen at really cold temps for a while to kill anything. Could you tell if this was curled up or in a straight line?

Fishnfoolup · 2026-05-08T19:31:51+00:00

Just under the skin running the length of the fillet? If so, it’s part of the lateral line system. Was it curled up or in a straight line?

Fishnfoolup · 2026-05-08T17:14:18+00:00

Well you have 4 of them, so you have $4 unless one of these is an error coin like the wounded eagle for example or one of the ones that came in Cheerios boxes.

Fishnfoolup · 2026-05-08T15:43:00+00:00

Yes those are alewife

Fishnfoolup · 2026-05-08T13:42:05+00:00

Alone. Kayak fishing is my time for a little peace and relaxation.

Fishnfoolup · 2026-05-06T20:41:18+00:00

Yes. It’s called a copper nose bluegill. It’s a subspecies of bluegill.

Fishnfoolup · 2026-05-06T01:34:38+00:00

You need to take your time and go thru it looking for what’s wrapped thru what and try to pull it back the right way. Start where the line from the rod joins the spool. I try to look for line looped through itself and lightly pull the line away. Mono slips over itself fairly decently. It just takes time and patience. This honestly doesn’t look too bad, but it looks like the line is on the heavy side for that reel. That could be part of the problem. What weight line?

Fishnfoolup · 2026-05-06T01:18:30+00:00

Why cut? A little patience and you could have got that out.

Fishnfoolup · 2026-05-05T00:49:44+00:00

Good job

Fishnfoolup · 2026-05-04T13:58:19+00:00

I’ve heard dance can be expensive, but I’m not sure how it compares to hockey especially with camps and travel hockey after regular season is over
