Moderators dtel Posted January 17, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 17, 2016 Pictured are me and my son Auston with two of the fish we caught. Very nice, all sons should have days like that, it's some of the things he will never forget. Some nice looking fish everyone posted, makes me want to fish more. It has always been fun, even the small ones. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Very nice, all sons should have days like that So true! We had a great day. On the way home he said "Dad, thanks so much for taking me fishing, I had the best time." That's the good stuff right there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Some bass from one of our tanks out at the ranch in TX. Killer day fishing! Rooster fish from Costa Rica fishing trip, got into some Marlin's that day too. A bonida and a trigger fish from an Atlantic Reef fishing trip in Bermuda. Trigger fish fight like hell!

Jim Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Some bass from one of our tanks out at the ranch in TX. Killer day fishing! Rooster fish from Costa Rica fishing trip, got into some Marlin's that day too. Roosterfish, Bonefish, Wahoo, Tuna, Shark, Marlin, Redfish, Permit, Goliath Grouper, Peacock Bass, and Tarpon are on my bucket list. I also want to hit Grouper, Redfish, Permit, Bonefish, Tarpon, Bluefish, Musky, Peacock Bass, and Striper on the fly rod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK Thom Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I have never heard of rooster fish, pretty impressive. The only salt water fishing I've ever done was up on the coast for char many years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedcrankcammer Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Roy Depgado at Rodney Newton's place(host of this year's Pilgrimage)in Bodcaw, AR a few weeks ago! Ok I know that picture looks fishy, it was almost dark, cold and I just took 2 pics in a hurry. He estimated it to be about 6-7 pounds, I thought a little more but he has more experience than me with bass, it was nice This is the other picture, Kevin has a video somewhere after it was caught and him releasing it. I use to fish every weekend, saltwater, mostly for Speckle Trout and Redfish, mostly in Delacroix island, Shell beach, Hopedale, Point la hache, and a little in Venice, all in South Louisiana. The other bass pic Roy's fish is by no means the biggest caught at Rodney's, nor would I think that it is by any means his best fish. It is also important to realize that Roy's was caught right off the dock, directly behind the lake house, and not in a little Kayak where he could maneuver to the best locations on that 79 acre pond Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedcrankcammer Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 My maternal Grandfather Carl Clifford Kiser was the fisherman in the family He built a cabin on an island in Lake Nippissing in Canada first, and the second house built on the southern most tip of Estero Island Florida in 1961, which is Ft. Myers Beach. He would summer at the cottage in Canada and winter on the Island in Florida for over 20 years. He kept a journal of the moon, the tides, the time of day, where he fished, the weather and the barometric pressure. He could always put you on the fish Wish I knew how to scan some of the photos from one of his Canada albums that I have, and know how to post them Roger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeskizzle Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Man these pictures make me ready to get back on the lake! Especially with getting a fishing kayak this past Christmas - I'm anxious to get that thing out on the water! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've traveled PA, NY, NJ, and have been looking to do NC/SC and FL as well on mine. I have a SOT and SI that I use. I do salt in the SOT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 We had a cookout tonight and ate those fish we caught yesterday. We battered the fish with Aunt Jemima pancake mix/club soda. My wife Michelle made hush puppys, slaw, and some chess bars for dessert. Everything was delicious. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MookieStl Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I love seeing a man fishing with his son (or grandson, or neighbor kid.....) I was going to try to say something intelligent but someone a little smarter than me put it like this: I love quoting inspirational calendars. I kept that one from 2012! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL Sargent Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 Trigger? Oh yeah, eaten it many times. Kinda looks like a dinner plate with teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted January 19, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 19, 2016 Was it chewy? Before it was caught yes very chewy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 If cooked too long it will be chewy. Only a few minutes on each side if grilling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Nephew steamed it. It was chewy. Better luck next time, maybe I will intervene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I like steamed fish about as much as steamed broccoli. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
