Bragging Board Photos

[fishin magician]

Take a look at the picture I posted earlier on page 3. Look at the 4th picture down.

THANK YOU

[can it be luck?]

Worry about yourself fellas.... Worry about yourselves.
You people have NO IDEA about ANYTHING RELATED TO ME other than a few fish pictures. Isn't this the "Bragging Board"? Aren't we supposed to show pictures of fish we caught? Jealous perhaps? Or am I gonna have to listen to some "lame a$$" story about catch and release...AGAIN! Get the heck off your soapboxes!
Braggin board....Sheeesh!
PS: What if I said I don't eat fish?
PS: Huskies, you can jump in my boat anytime. I have more picture too. All LEGAL and some will make your eyes pop out of your head.

Let me start out by saying I don't know "can it be luck?" from Adam. I've read plenty of his posts and many of those pictures look like they are from Lake Erie. Out there it is perfectly acceptable to keep fish of the size in his photos.

[can it be luck?]

Mr. Special,
Sorry for not responding. Most were caught while manuevering through COMMERCIAL NETS and thousands of dead fish caused by them on lake Erie. Some on Bay de Noc(lake Michigan). The 1st and biggest one was caught 3/26/04 on the Fox River in Wi. The Fox has a run of lake Michigan fish.
Basically they're all from the great lakes.
PS: How many of you folks making comments about my keeping fish have ever fished the great lakes.....With success? I'll bet it's a big fat ZERO!
PS: rms, your the winner! Right on the money!

If thats how you justify keeping prime spawning fish by saying its legal...that's fine. But there's also a reason people practice catch and release, that there's an increase in slot limits, and that discussions are taking place about reducing possession limits.

I can only imagine the reaction I would get on this board if I showed pictures of 100, 50 inch muskies that I caught and kept. Perfectecly legal...doesnt mean it's right.

There are some huge walleyes in the great lakes that's for sure. Good Fishing

I like my eggs "over easy"...You? How do you like your woman? Or fish?
And if you eat musky, more power to you! Not my place to tell you what's right or wrong.

Can it be luck hit it right on the head the reason i started this thread was i wanted to see everyone fish they brag about. As long as the fish was caught legally and in all ways in fair chase, and you put in the time to catch these or if you just get plain lucky, everyone needs some, you deserve to be able to with it as you want, but i wanted to do this so people can feel proud of the fish they caught. not to belittled by other people. Is it wrong for a person who only fishes for trophy's who keep one or two big fish a month or even a year, or a person who goes out and keep 10 crappies, or 6 walleyes once a week or twice a week, you can argue and complain all you want but please do not pass judgement on people who you have never met. have you ever been deerhunting and shoot a nice ten or eight pointer, and at the registration someone says you shouldnt have shot that because it is the breeding stock or that there are much bigger bucks? it is a real buzzkill, which i have been there, i shot my first buck with only 13 inch spread and i caught so much heck for it you wouldnt beleive.

Thanks for all you who will help me keep this thread, i hope to see more pics of proud papa's with a 8 inch crappie and a beeming smile from a three year old. or more big fish, both would be great.
best fishes

Settle down now... Didn't know they were all from the great lakes... One quick question though... How did you cach that big one one 4/26/04 when it is only 4/14/04? Smells fishy..

[can it be luck?]

You're alright Chris. I like your style. Wise even in your young age.
Yes, I agree, when one is lucky enough to be successful in their hunting and fishing ventures, why do people always put them down. I have my ideas, jealousy and lack of knowledge. But these are only MY IDEAS. I'm not for once saying that this is the case, just a guess.
Shoot a nice deer(in your's and my book ), and get ribbed for it. Terrible.
PS: Chris, you have some nice photos yourself! Be careful that you don't let the PETA members on this forum see them. They're everywhere and they disguise themselves with clever little names!
Thanks for this thread. A little "excitment" is always welcomed by me.

Hey eyes', why are you so pessimistic? Why are you looking for an "angle" to dis-credit me.
I'll tell you what. I'm not gonna make this easy for you.....YOU LOOK UP THE REGS!!!
Smells fishy.....Good grief! Are you implying something or do you always talk out the side of your mouth?
My mistake eyes' it should've read 3/26/o4. Sorry!

ALL I AM SAYING THAT THE DATE TODAY IS 4/14/04 SO IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CATCH A FISH ON 4/26/04... THAT DAY IS NOT HERE YET... UNLESS YOU HAVE A TIME MACHINE?

[eyes']

Canitbeluck, do you know me? Sounds like you do a ton of prejudging of people... You basically said that one shouldn't talk unless you know what you are talking about but I guess that must only apply to other people right? I am kind of a peta member, people eating tasty animals...Thats what it stands for right?

[Lundboy14]

Question for CIBL. What do you do with all of those fish that you catch and keep? When you keep a limit of 6-7 pounders, that makes 40 pounds of fish. Do you eat it all?

[can it be luck?]

Yes, I pretty much keep fish only a couple of weeks out of the year or for a fish dinner...Fresh. Most all water that I keep fish can harbor a VERY HEALTHY fishery. I fish all year long. The rest of the time I fish I throw them ALL BACK! I give a few away too. How am I viewed now? 300+ days a year of C and R. The BIG walleye in the picture, well the first posted pic anyways was the only one kept. I caught over 400 fish in a couple of days and kept 1. A couple others were over 30 inches. I kept that one because it darn near topped 14 POUNDS! Just a couple pounds shy of some state's recrd books.
Do you know that the PWT will keep and kill over 10,000 lbs of fish over a 3 day tournament? Most MN lakes only give upward to a couple 1000 lbs of fish to the PWT. Is that alright or should it be banned? All the fishing heros seen in a different light....As scoundrels!
PS: Erie has NO POSSESION limit, only a daily bag. Realisticly I could keep over 15,000 lbs of walleye from Ohio...Legally.

[Mr Special]

can it be luck,

Thanks for responding. I kind of had a feeling they were from Erie. My buddy was there last falls and he told me how fishing goes over there. His arms are still sore from that trip.

Again great Pic's

[Tonka Boy]

Can it be luck...

No matter what anyone else says, congrats! Those are some GREAT fish. I always enjoy checking out your pics. Kind of makes me wish I brought a camera once in a while.

Why don't the people giving CIBL all the Bull???t just keep your pie holes shut!!!!! Every thing he is doing is by the book. So why don't we just admire his skill with the rod & reel and listen to what he has to say and learn a few things about this sport of fishing. Good job Can It Be Luck and more LUCK to ya. Scheuney

[Guest]

Why don't all you people who are giving CIBL all the bul"?<:t shut your pie holes. All the things he is doing is by the book. It just so happens the he can do it and you can't. What we should do is sit back and admire the skill and knowledge he has for the srort of fishing. Good luck to you CIBL in the future and keep the photos coming because they are a treat to see. Scheuney

[Caesarfishinguytoo]

Anyway - Back to the pictures - I love them!! GET OVER THE REST OF THE BS.

This is the Metro board, so where are the Metro fish? Keep them coming. Anyone can catch a 10Lb erie Eye or a 50" LOW Muskie... Let's see some repectable Metro fish.

[Mr Special]

Tonka Boy,

You should have a camera with ya, I know you get on some good fish. Except that one time this winter on Spring park. Man were those some small ones that day. Still a fun day.

[jknoll]

I agree...

Here is another attempt. A metro largemouth...

[JJB]

Now where did all the pictures go.It was starting to look good now I dont know if this is a braggin board or a bi***ing board.
Lets keep them going and keep it positive.
Were all here for the same reason "we love fishin" Im sure there is more pictures to share And every picture has a story to go with it keep em coming.

[hanson]

Hey guys! Keep the photos coming!

Yes, this is a metro board. Lots of metro people fish lakes that aren't in the metro. Plus, this is the only bragging board going on the forums I frequent so I got to put the pictures somewhere. The bragging board was definitely a good idea!

huskieplayer-
the Pike are from Lake of the Woods. I had 2 more this spring get away from me Couldn't tie into a Red Lake pike this winter with tip-ups. Only one I got on was on my crappie rod and that fight didn't last more than 2-3 minutes til boing!

[local boy]

can it be luck?

all i gotta say is those are some awsome fish and i've very jealous, you spend a lot of time on the water and you deserve those nice big fish, congrats

[Matt Johnson]

I've met "Can it be luck", and he is a very nice guy, so lets keep things calm here. Everyone has opinions and everyone's opinion should be respected regardless whether you think it is right or wrong. All of us here are good people, so lets not get bent out of shape, and instead lets get back to sharing some pictures and having fun.

Nice fish Can it be luck!

Nice pike hanson, I bet it was a blast pulling that one up through the hole!

jknoll, awesome Metro bass!

Keep the pics coming!

Good Fishin,
Matt Johnson

Jknoll-awesome metro bass, did you catch that in a canoe? had to have been fun.
Trying to locate some pics of my north metro bass, but one of these days I just might get around to cleaning my room! then again, maybe not.
I hope we can all just get along, maybe for a little while we could just sit back and keep our opinions to ourselves, so maybe we can just hear ohhs and awwws, kind of like fourth of july? Then we can go sit by the fire and sing koombya .
oh and can it be luck if your offering a seat in your boat, I will take it, i just dont know if my s10er tonka truck will get me out there! Oh by the way I'm 17 and 318 days old thank you very much I aint no youngin! Just Kidding guys, have a nice night! i hope we can make this thread fun again!

I stayed out of this one, but need to get in now! I know CIBL as well, and think he's a great guy, and could care less if he kept some 40+ lbs. of walleye in a day! Eat 'em up! Everyone should know the facts before criticizing! Just my $.02! Everytime someone posts something about keeping a fish, they get fried about it, it's stupid!
