Agree...same fish.
What's with the bloody fingernail, Dave, in the first pic? Is that the result of the chowder making?

Also, I see you using a level wind. I thought you were a dyed in the wool spinner. Which do you prefer as an all around float reel?

That was indeed, chowder finger. That was three days after I did it.

I kept putting bandages on it, but every time I landed a fish I lost the bandage.

I am NOT a spinfisher. I have, and will again, but much prefer a baitcaster.

not the same fish.

I'dabetabuck it was the same fish.

Fun times.

Fish on...

P.S. All that's missing from the pictorial are the 60 clams the four of us dug up yesterday afternoon after our third day of fishing.

Same fish. Pretty bright boy. Musta been well handled on day 1 to turn around and wanna dance already on day 2. I

f you fished the same stretch on day 2 how'd you do with hookups on day 2? Seems every time I go back to the same reach after a good day, the next day typically disappoints,

I did worse on Day 2 (three bites on Day 1, one on Day2)...the rest all did better on Day 2, but the stretch we fished was extended considerably longer than it was on Day 1. The same drift that gave up the same fish two times gave up about 75% of the bites for all three days...and we camped about 200 yards from it.

Good stuff.

Dave, I think I found your finger chunk. It was in the sandy yellow dish glove. You want it back?

Like the hat Dave

Case closed!

Dave will have to tell the story of how he came to be wearing one of my hats for four days...and come to think of it, the bugger never gave it back!

Fish on...

Todd

Same fish! I was going to do what driftfishnw did...but I was too lazy, so good on you Tony!

It was great to meet you guys on the river that day.
Sounds like you enjoyed the rest of your trip.
Looks like the same fish.
I have a hard time catching one once.
You guys catch the same fish twice.
Legendary.

Blemish on the back side just barely shows in second photo at the waterline..Same fish who's a ham that likes having his photo taken..

Great meeting you, too...I bet we'll see each other again soon

Fish on...

Oh yeah. They still make Jiffy Pop. It is an art-form to do a good job with that stuff. We have contests pretty much each summer. It is like golf, the least amount of UPKs wins. (UPK = Un-Popped Kernels). There is a story that my uncle got a 9 one time, but I was not a witness.

Nice pictures. One of my very favorite fishing memories of my entire life, happened in the section where Todd is fighting the fish.

The true art form is not burning the person doing the popping. I'm pretty sure from the photo that Rico is not in the top 10 when it comes to UPKs.

Nice pictures Dave, looks like you guys had a great trip!

+1 Rocket, one of my greatest memories fishing also was right near where Todd is fighting that fish in the photo.

wow! Hopefully that fish isn't writing a memo for his buddies titled "things to avoid"
Well done, men! thanks for the pics.

Naw, probably too late to have it reattached. I have your tarp. May get it to ya someday, or you live close enough . . .

Though it came in handy, it's not mine. It was a Rico loaner.
