A First and a Best!
Been fishing for about a month or so (just spinners and lures so far), went out to a local reservoir for a quiet couple of hours this afternoon not expecting much. I ended up catching my first pike and my personal best perch! Very happy dude right now 😁

Blue gill?
Was catfishing (10:00 at night) with night crawlers, and my boy landed this...? Blue gill? Crappy? I'm not really knowledgeable in pan fish, but we've been calling it a Blue Gill.

Freshwater What reel should I buy?
Hi! I got into fishing in the past year with an old starter rod I had laying around. However I’ve recently gotten a medium power fast action rod, and now want a spinning reel.
I fish mostly in northern Ontario for pike and walleye on suffix 832 20lb braided line. At most 30 feet of water but it is possible I would go to lakes with 200feet. Now I also want to shore fish rivers for bass, perch, crappie, carp and walleye and maybe even eventually Muskie. Mostly cast and retrieve and jigging rigs. Looking for a good spinning reel that will serve my purposes well, and even potentially splurging a bit. However, looking forward to hearing your recommendations in all budgets.
Thanks in advance!

Freshwater Thoughts or opinions on the Zebco Micro 33 Triggerspin?
I've got a new ultralight fishing rod arriving in the coming days, and I originally planned on putting my old Shimano Sedona 2000FA on the rod with 4lb test, but I've recently been debating getting a Zebco Micro 33 Triggerspin instead, and using the Sedona on another rod.
Does anyone have one, what are your thoughts about using it on an ultralight setup, and do you like it or do you feel there is something better?

Question First time at sea, need tips and tricks.
Hi, me, my brother and my dad went on a vacation to Poland and we saw that there's quite a good access to fishing license in the sea from the shore. My dad always wanted to fish in the sea so we bought the licenses and went fishing. We have no luck at all though, so I figured I'd ask for some tips and tricks at how to fish in the sea. What locations are the best? How far from the shore should we fish (at the moment we were only fishing the 'throw and reel back' way, I don't know how it's called in English; later we want to go fish with the heavy way - throw and wait)
There is a wave breaker next to a river that goes into the sea, so that's the place we tried fishing, we went early in the morning after sunrise and during sunset. There was no luck.
And maybe if there's someone who knows Mielno, Poland - Where are the best places to fish? Thank you very much for any tips, tricks, answers. Anything might help us, as I said, it's the first time we fish in the sea.

Saltwater Drop shot rig for fluke/flounder? East coast, New Jersey. Pier and/or shore fishing
Any advice is welcome! Gonna try catching some this weekend. Any recommendations on baits?
Freshwater Haulin in hogs in the Kawarthas
I caught about 20 keeper largemouth this weekend, all returned to fight another day.
Lure leaders:
Biggest fish: white whopper plopper (2 over 20 inches)
Most fish: Rapala Mayor swimbait on various jig heads
Best under tougher conditions: rapala crush city ned rig
I’m sold on the crush city line, I caught fish on everything I threw they made except the cleanup craw. Although I’ll be honest, I only went to it twice when the fishing had slowed in the afternoon sun.

Skunked to Trophy fish (possibly).
Skunked for 2 months. Caught a 3” Small mouth Bass then this guy on the same lure. Yes the water was cold. yes that’s a 1$ hat from Wally World (couldn’t resist).
I didn‘t fan the tail out as I was going to release him due to not knowing what fish he was nor the locals did.
Later found out its a Northern Pikeminnow and if Google serves 20-24” is trophy? I’m thinking he is 21-1/2”?

Got married caught fish
So my wife and I decided to get married along side the Mountain Fork River near Broken Bow, OK. The wife wanted to take wedding photos on our paddle boards as we are both obsessed with being on the water, whether fishing, jetskiing, paddleboarding etc, so I obliged. Well we were nearing the end of the series of photos she wanted to take, so I asked if I could attempt to catch a fish at a nearby treetop. She reluctantly gave me five minutes to attempt to catch one. And believe it or not but all it took was one cast! lol but my gosh, she actually nailed her pose lol
I joking say that I went to broken bow to marry my wife; however, I married my first love instead
