Ruppell, well told and done.
So we were down at the lake in upper Wisconsin. It was steamin' hot, like
78 or 80. There' a platform 100' out and a bunch of kids are on it. One of
'em finds a dead Muskie that is really nasty. I'm floating on my back 25'
from the raft and I start taunting the kids on it. Hey, I never claimed to
be prudent. One of the biggest kids grabs the rotten Muskie and flings it
towards me before I can react. It lands on my knee and the impact of a 5 or 6
pound Muskie flung that far results in quite an impact. My knew was shredded.
It was amazing that I didn't get MRSA or some such.

Ruppel..... sounds like a fish monster story.
First time I ever went fishing for Northern Pike, my friend brought along some unusual tackle.... #1 A yard stick.... you can't keep em unless they are larger than 36". #2 And a little pistol, shoots .22 shorts. My friend got one, we had it up next to the boat, he stuck the yardstick down... fish was larger than 36.... so it was out with the pistol... bam bam .... dead fish now in the boat.

First week of open-water here this week, and the brooks that have gone ice-out are raging. Been scouting locally a bit, but it's survival fishing, post-holing slush wells, dodging 'bergs; had the screaming barfies last night, for crying out loud.
Air temp 36F and falling, spitting snow. Water was about the same.
Couldn't figure out why my casting was degrading, until I noticed my guides ... oh, I guess I'm done for the evening.
Skunked, of course.

Wow!
That is some carp.
And a beauty of a brookie + 'bow there Briham. What was up with that light patch on the brookie's head?
I recently returned from FF up in Kashmir.
My camera went belly up so I don't have photos but my buddy had his phone and took the ones below.
Not big/ but they sure are beautiful things. The Brits stocked the streams years ago. Pretty wild now.
"The first attempts to bring brown trout eyed-eggs from England into India were made by Mr. F.J. Mitchell in 1899 and 1900 (Mitchell, 1918). They came from Howeiton in Scotland, and the eggs successfully hatched in a small trout hatchery at Harwan in Kashmir. "

A rare catch from Lake Perris. No, it's not a carp! I had to look this one up...it's a Smallmouth Buffalo fish.

If you ask about it at a McD's, they used to be instructed to tell customers that their fish sandwich used "Atlantic Whitefish."
Mentiros! But aren't most fishermen liars at one time or another?

Wow some nice fish being caught!
That carp is huge!
Delhi that light mark on the brook's head is from bonking him after catching him. He was tasty :)

Mouse, did those trout come from that creek? Sweet!
I am going to hit the trout opener here in Washington next week. It has been a while and I'm scouting new waters. The Kettle River. Anybody been there?
