I hadn't fished in over 15 years until two months ago. I have a Dicks Sporting Goods rewards Mastercard, and I typically use my rewards certificates on AR15/AK47 ammo. Since Obama's election, it has been nearly impossible to find any ammo in either .223/5.56 or 7.62x39mm, so I walked over into the fishing section and remembered how fun it was fishing as a kid.
My in-laws have two pretty decent-sized ponds that were stocked when they bought the cow pasture 15 years or so ago. I have been catching bass (small or largemouth - I'm not sure, honestly), bluegill, and huge channel catfish from them for a month now. I HAVE to fish every weekend, even if it's raining. Fun stuff. Catch and release, since I think fish taste gross, for the most part.
Here's a pic of me with a medium-sized bass. There are some larger and a LOT smaller than that (down to about twice the size of my thumb). The catfish are huge and ugly (like break your pole huge), so I stay up top and try not to catch them. I think the bass in this pic is the one that I caught twice, with the second time being about an hour later. It had the same pink spot up near its dorsal fin like it had damaged its scales on a stick or something, and it had the small hole in its lip from the spoon in the pic too.

Small Pike
they only come around when you don't know how to catch the big pike.
That same day, a woman had caught a 47" northern pike! Hey I'm new to this whole fishing thing. I'm getting there!
I love to fish if you couldn't tell by my name. I flyfish both fresh and salt water. The following pictures are all fish caught on a fly rod. The snapping turtle was not if you couldn't tell.:lol: My fly rod would have snapped.
Smallmouth bass
Redfish
Bluefish
And a snapping turtle.

one of the biggest i ever caught was a 12 pound Freshwater Drum also known as a really big pearch..also caught some big carp , catfish, suckerfish ect. from the ohio river where i live..but i have hooked some monster catfish, just never got to see them they broke my line when i was trying to real them in...sorry no pics..
My Brother and Nephew caught this not to long ago on the St Johns river near Orlando,Fl., you all prolly know what it is
Here is my 4 year old son with his first Walleye. He chose the lure, caught and reeled it in. The only thing dad did was net it. It is a $260 fish! $11 an inch to put it on the wall. My daughter couldn't be left out, so here she is with her catch of the day, a yellow perch.
