mikechell 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2020 Just a little on the large side for a tank, I'd think. 😁 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Knapp 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2020 No sun fish on this one, nice variety of other stuff though. I had a pet gar when I was in high school, named Snidely Whiplash. A little smaller than that one. The way they hunt is pretty cool. They slowly pull up with their nose beside a minnow and quickly snap sideways to grab the fish. Hence his name, Snidely Whiplash. Looks like a nice day on the water. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2020 Thanks, Mark. Any day in Florida is a nice day. It got a little windy, but it was pretty out there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DFoster 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2020 I finally got out on a river with the new to me Hardy 5wt set up that I bought last November. The day after I brought it home the weather went from sunny in the 60's down to the 30's with wind driven rain - I decided to avoid frozen fingers and wait for spring to take her out. I was fortunate to land this fat little Rainbow off a #14 brown vinyl ribbed worm. The high winds we had this past windy Saturday made casting problematic.

That's how many we have caught, we've probably kept about 80 of them. We do have a lot of fun in that house. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
