Nice fish guys. I have heard about those big trout in New Zealand John. Now I know for sure.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

trolling for walleye has become my favorite form of fresh water fishing .... as one with a long history of casting for bass, that is a considerable change .... its not that I've lost interest in bass fishing, the reality is, arthritic hands make it impossible for me to cast like I used to .... yesterday I had the pleasure of walleye fishing with a couple of relatives .... South Dakota allows a daily limit of 4 walleyes, only 1 can be 20 or more inches .... the three of us kept 8 walleyes, 2 of which were over 20 inches .... we also kept a dozen crappie ..... one met South Dakota's Proud Angler standards, minimum of 2 lbs and 15 inches .... for me, catching that crappie was a highlight .... its the largest one I've very seen, much less caught

A nice fish but not too fat or big. Taken on a gold and white Cobra. Lead line all colours out trolled at 3 knots. The really big fish are in the Tekapo canals.

Dang! Very jealous.

I caught big trout in Wyoming years ago. Nothing like that. Inspiring to say the least.

I am catching and eating channel cats now.

And Jebar, I can hope to get those kind of walleye too. Local lake has them. I've caught a few. A worthy goal.

They are good, aren't they? I grilled that cat for my son on Father's Day. Good time.
