Personal Fishing Goals

[riverfisher]

just to catch fish. never caught a whooper but maybe someday. came close to getting a whooper crappie last week .2lbs away

 

[Captain Ahab]

Land a 50+ pound Tarpon.

 

[KDM]

I'd like to catch the state record bullhead during the first annual NDA bullhead tourney.

 

[Kickemup]

Get my kids out more. Myself I really don't care if I catch a big one don't try. I usually put the first 5 eyes I catch that are good eaters in the live well. Then go home.

 

[FishReaper]

Land a 50+ pound Tarpon.

Tangling with big tarpon would be a saltwater dream come true. they look like a lot of fun to play with. I guess id have to leave North Dakota to do that though. Im ashamed to admit Ive never seen saltwater in my life. My travels are North Dakota to Texas and a few states wide, Ive never had the chance to leave the Grainbelt

A legit sakakawea ten pound walleye not just a 30 incher, a paddlefish over 100 and one under 10, or any walleye over 33.5 inches. And last another sauger over 5 lbs.

Northern Pike 42 inches Sak

I don't count the trout I catch as the ones in Northgate taste worse than muddy in the cooler for 3 days bullhead
Smallmouth Bass 6 over 5 lbs in the chazy river in north east new york in 2 summers I know that will be hard to beat in North Dakota

Muskie 38 inches (chazy river new york)

A day on the water with my friends and family and a limit of eaters.
or a big dick contest on a whopper club fishing shenanigans outing, both would make my season

 

[Downrigger]

Catching a Sak salmon on the lake is my number one. After that refine the downrigger bite for the suspended walleyes on Sak.

 

[johnr]

My favorite, and best fishing memories really have nothing to do with a huge catch. I have fished with one particular friend for 30 plus years, he always out fishes me, but those are not the days we reminisce about.
it's hard to explain in a bragging, Facebook world, but my best fishing days are not hanging on my walls.

 

[Fishmission]

Been after a state record Smallmouth forever. Figured it was more attainable than other game fish in ND and what a fight.... still spend allot of time looking for that one fish.;:;popcorn
Came sort of close a couple times but no dice. Dakota Country from April or May or June 1999. A nice article in there of me and my obsession of smallmouth. Is anybody here old enough to have that?

 

[Mort]

ah...to catch one fish.....the fish are just handing my butt on a plate right now laughing at me....lol what can I say...

 

[Captain Ahab]

cast and blast day. limit of roosters and a limit of eyes. 1day

This is a great time! I did the eastern version with a limit of eyes in the morning and a limit of doves in the afternoon.

 

[muskelllunge13]

Hopefully get my Grandson home for some fishing this year... got him into bluegills,bullheads, perch, and a Northern last summer. His first fish was a bluegill thru the ice last year on Crown Butte. Only problem is he is living in Japan. Daddy is USMC.
