mikechell 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2013 Funny ... and quite true. I get a kick out of catching the occasional pickerel. I don't need to travel anywhere to face a fish with teeth like that. I'd forget and try to lip it like a bass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
netabrookie 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2013 That did it for me. I'm never getting in the river again. I will stick to my little mountain streams and ONLY chase brookies. I fish, or fished, the New river a lot and they say it is the second oldest river in the world, the Nile being the oldest, and now who knows what is lurking in there waiting to have me for lunch. I dread a muskie swimming by when I am fishing for smallmouth and I'm not going to give one of these rascals a chance to see if I taste like chicken or something.....

mikechell 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2013 Just don't fish naked ... North American fresh waters don't harbor man attacking fish ... as long as you don't expose any small parts of your anatomy to them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

netabrookie 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2013 But there is a lovely sand bar just on the outskirts of town that I like to lay on and sun ALL of myself Mike. By small parts of my anatomy you do mean my little finger or my pinky toe don't you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By small parts of my anatomy you do mean my little finger or my pinky toe don't you? Um ... yeah ... that's what I meant ... fishing naked exposes your little finger. The first statement is a visual I didn't need. I am now trying to shove my finger through my forehead to poke my "mind's eye" out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

natedubay 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2013 I had a bowfin brush up against my leg while wet wading a few weeks back and that freaked the hell out of me, I can't even imagine this thing... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piker20 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2013 That is a proper fish. And netabrookie, that's why the outskirts are always the wrong side of town. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBigHenderson 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2013 The "REAL" question......Are they good eating?Murray Oh yeah man great for eating. I tear 'em up with some Y2Ks and some zebra midges when we go camping along the "I'll Never Go There" river. The real thing you gotta watch out for are the Yorkie-sized mosquitos. Off spray don't work too good on them....unless you give 'em a good crack on the head with the can. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
