I took the kids out yesterday. Caught my limit on brookies then went over to the pond in the afternoon. Mostly just paddled around but we did catch and release a couple of bass and a bunch of perch, sunfish and pickeral.
Happy to report that the fish were the only one's getting hooked this trip.

so i went over and showed him how to baite his hook as im finishing up my youngest yeld dad i got one so i stood up to look and from behind me i hear i no how to cast i seen it on tv.and then there was a sharp paine in the back of my leg right behind the knee.yup you gesst it he got me with a #4 dbl barbd long shank.that wasnt the worst of it he thought if he pulled it would come loose.it didnt.he crying im bleeding and my oldest is laughing hay dad remember when i got the other leg.jerry is freekin. i think city life has ruind him.all in all it was ok some good fishing some fishing scars good times.

I'm thinking a "leathermen."
I believe it is the offical equipment of the maine outdoors men. (DH has gone through 2 so far.)

when i was a kid my dad bought one of them rubber boats from rod &gun in houlton. i still remember it today we were out fishing in carry lake in littleton and i hooked it right in the side tore a good size hole in it to we had to sit on one side while dad patched it he was pi@##$.
he couldnt fix it comepleatly so he paddeld his a@# off to get to shore befor we sank.
we never did get another rubber boat.

I have very few fresh water summer fishing stories. I do a lot more ice fishing. Those stories seem out of place in the summer. We mostly ocean fish around here for stripers and bluefish. Now there's some fun! Nothing like hooking into a 15 lb bluefish for a good fight!. Stripers have been few and far between around here this year though. Last year was good with a good many over 40" (about 20-22 pounds) taken in the Royal and Cousin's rivers in Yarmouth and Freeport.

Ranger or anyone else ... easy way to remove a hook ... let me find a diagram it will be easier than me trying to describe.

OK, here's one:

How to remove a hook from a human

It works easier than anyone would believe.
