my record is a 5 lb bass 17 lb chicago king salmon. I saw a giant salmon at the cleaning station that was over 30 lbs from waukegan. tonight would be a fun night to fish with the snowstorm and waves on the rocks. BUT the assholes put up a fence and now you cant fish in waukegan on the rocks. Id prolly slip and die in a rocky hole anyways. I caught like 3 big salmon and getting across a 1/4 mile of giant boulders with huge gaps is sketch as f and that was before my injuries. I remember one time- waves crashing like crazy, im the only one there and the salmon hadnt come in yet. Next thing- im catching chrome king salmon every cast as they come in the first time.
My record bass was in fall and i mustve dropped the lure on its head. It hit and was a great fight too. The salmon i use rattletraps most of the time or glow lures and deep divers. late season salmon who swim in circles of the harbors like a tiny white jig.

Does anybody live in a climate for ice fishing? That’s the best. Ice fishing in a shack in the middle of some frozen lake is an experience in solitude.
Even cooler if you can drive your car onto the ice to drop off the shack.
It’s like a hunting blind for ice water. Only instead of waiting for an animal out a window, it narrows your focus to a 8-10 inch hole in the ice. Bonus points for flag trap fishing. Epitome of lazy.
Most times you can even drop a fish finder to make sure something is present that’s worth your while

Is that a Corbina? They have those on the east coast.
That’s a red drum, aka channel bass and redfish.
They’re amazing animals. There’s a slot where you can keep them, 18-26”. They’ll grow up to 100 lbs and live as long as a human.
They also are really tasty.

White Sturgeon here is similar, where it has a range you can keep, lives forever, etc. They also can get unbelievably massive (1000+ lbs). Fucking dinosaurs
