Bass fishing in my back yard. We live on a large canal system; one of the good ones that flows like a river year round and is deep; with several large ponds in the mix. I think I figured out how to post pics here. LOL

Tarpon. I prefer catching the smaller ones; a lot less work...

Offshore can be fun...
Found this whale shark playing in a sargassum weedline 35 miles out. She had 2 big cobia following her..

So I caught the bigger of the 2; pitched a big pinfish to it... Took a good 20 minutes to land this cobia. The line kept getting sargassum weed all over it and had to clear the line of weeds several times. Then the whale shark kept getting curious and bumped into the cobia several times. Touch and go for a while with a big strong fish..

I've always enjoyed bass fishing but arthritis has put an end to my ability to spend the day casting and retrieving .... a few years ago I was introduced to trolling for walleye, which I've come to really enjoy .... spending our summers in South Dakota (with excursions over into Minnesota) makes it possible ... the first 3 pictures below were caught in the Mississippi River near Winona, MN .... the last picture shows fish caught in Lake Albert, SD

I like catching fish and don't mind cleaning/filleting them but I've never been fond of eating fish .... that said, for me walleye is the best tasting fresh water fish with crappie/perch coming in second

These were taken in my pond in Tn 50 yd from my back door . The pond is 26 ft deep it is on top of a hill and is spring fed and no rain water need to keep it filled . My pond only dropped a foot when the other pond in my area dried up in the drought .

Never lived anywhere with Walleye so have never caught one but it sure looks productive.

aside of casting for bass and trolling for walleye, I've found hooking and playing a walleye to be very different from hooking an playing a bass .... for the most part, a bass will fight from the instant the hook is set .... a walleye will make a serious run when it sees the boat .... walleyes seem to take more finesse

Caught 5 bass in my canal today. Finding bigger ones. They are hammering frog lures. Pic of a young gator sunning himself in my back yard. Young dude he still has his stripes.

I've never been one for taking pictures, and we fish for food anyway, but here is one I snapped a few years ago.

I was out by myself in my Robalo bayboat and snapped a pic of a similarly sized Sea Hunt at Ponce Inlet. Behind is the north jetty.

It sure was blowing that day.......
