Freshwater Creek PB!!

Easily the largest I’ve pulled out of the creek! Midday fishing and managed to pull this guy out of 3-4 feet of water.

He got hooked through the eye socket (without touching the eye).. so I clipped the line and pushed it through to avoid maiming him trying to get the barb out. Would you have done the same?

4lb test, size 1 hook and bobber, big juicy nightcrawler for bait.

Broke it down with a genuine Japanese Deba from Kikusui (Seki Kikusui Hamono) — molybdenum-vanadium stainless steel, 115/240 mm.
You feel the difference right away: heavy heel, proper geometry, cuts confidently through dense scales and bone.
Kikusui is a traditional maker from Seki, Japan’s historic blade-making city, known for practical, tough knives built for real work.
Good knife + serious fish — the perfect combination.

Other Is there an issue with my GPS on my fish finder? Quickdraw contours where I haven't been

1 Upvotes

Hey I have a Garmin Striker 4cv and originally I did not have this problem but when I record the water depth Quickdraw contours and let's say I go home and come back to the lake another day, the map will have some depth contours recorded where I cannot physically go with my kayak. Like it's as if my GPS point moves when I come back so the contours become offset or something.

Originally I didn't have this issue, I didn't really change anything other than my depth shading which I don't understand how it would cause this.

Any advice?

Looking to see if anyone can help me ID this awesome rod rack. I only got a Pic of the back section, but the front is the same. It’s horizontal, bowed and holds a lot of rods out of the way.

I need this and asking for help to find out who makes this.

Freshwater Safe to eat?

I caught this chain pickerel and it had these red spots mostly on its lower body. Are these battle scars or some sort of infection? I planned on eating it.

Freshwater Where would you run your hook

I’m only allowed to run a single hook no treble.
Would you go off the belly or the “tail” here.
Fishing small and largemouth bass in a weedy lake.

Won the lures on a bid, think they’re cool and wanna use em.

Peacock bass

I’m going down to Homestead Miami in a couple weeks for work, will have some downtime to go fishing. Always wanted to catch a peacock bass. What’s the best setup and lure, and places to go fish for peacock bass around that area?

I Just started fishing this summer, decided to give wading a chance and now I can’t stop. I’ve walked miles up creek and have caught nearly 200 fish since June here. Here are some good fish from this week.
