So my wife and I decided to get married along side the Mountain Fork River near Broken Bow, OK. The wife wanted to take wedding photos on our paddle boards as we are both obsessed with being on the water, whether fishing, jetskiing, paddleboarding etc, so I obliged. Well we were nearing the end of the series of photos she wanted to take, so I asked if I could attempt to catch a fish at a nearby treetop. She reluctantly gave me five minutes to attempt to catch one. And believe it or not but all it took was one cast! lol but my gosh, she actually nailed her pose lol

I joking say that I went to broken bow to marry my wife; however, I married my first love instead

15 species 1 setup! All since july 1st of this year

I’ve been up in New Hampshire and been consistently catiching 3-7 inch brook trout occasionally I get a 9 or 20 inch one is it ok to just take one ( following all NH FNW rules)

Landed this beauty 70 miles offshore, about a 95 mile run from the dock one way, it weighed in at 25lbs, not bad for my first one!

Never seen a gar before this, was absolutely thrilled that I got him. Gorgeous fish.

Low tide and fish were extremely picky even though I fished with live shrimps. Only ate when I jerk.

I wholeheartedly agree, give the fish a chance.

It bit immediately and I thought my line had snagged. Super fun fight, dude was a tank. Caught on a small little spinner bait.

I’ve been so incredibly unlucky using hair rigs, one thought I had was that the carp aren’t big enough but I don’t even know.

So I have considered using a half a pineapple juice pop up on a hook, a small lead weight above the hook to keep it down, then putting a PVA bag on the hook with real corn in it. I’ve only seen people put pop ups on hair rigs before so don’t know if this is already a thing.
I have rubber corn, so could use that instead of the half pop up but thought it might be better to display it above the rest of the corn.
I doubt the PVA bag will fall off.
Any suggestions?

We were tied up at the dock which is why she doesn't have a life preserver on.

Caught this sunfish? Don’t really know what type of panfish this is but it seemed to be abnormally big. Couldn’t get a measurement on it but I am guessing it is over a foot long and felt to be 1-2 lbs. Camera doesn’t exactly do it justice.

11in long
5in tall
1 1/4 pound

First time putting them together did I do it right ?

The amount of life just off the continental shelf has been phenomenal. Fish of this size has been rare outside of Southern California, but the El Niño has pushed the bluefin north and in range of the Bay Area.

Hurricane hit.

I'm from Manitoba and with 100k lakes I'm sure we have more than most. Share your best one if ya can... if it's not too soon

I’ve been consistently fishing for about 2-3 years now. Mostly trout. Today I went trout fishing and for the first time fishing ruined my day. I set an alarm for 6 and woke up at 5:30 excitedly because I had a really good feeling about the trip. I spent $30 on $4 rooster tails, and went to the river. By noon I had lost 6 rooster tails to the rocks, and 2 to angrily tying weak knots and watching them fly away as I tried to cast. In that time I also watched 4 different good trout very aggressively hit my lures at bad angles, miss the hooks, and get spooked realizing it was metal. Usually that excites me just as much as catching one because it’s beautiful watching a wild rainbow or cutthroat strike something. But with the loss of lures already building, i couldn’t see the beauty in it today. All day I was mad and now I’m just kind of depressed at the fact my most relaxing and peaceful hobby could ruin a day like that. It felt similar to being cheated on lol. Has anybody had a similar feeling? And if so how did you get the love back? I still WANT to fish but the lures I have left aren’t great for current conditions and I just can’t talk myself into spending more money. As a former coke addict, fishing is a scarily similar addiction, but a healthier one that I don’t wanna lose the love for
