May Fish Photos

[Vito]

Some of these shots aren't the best as I was using a new camera. The focus was bad on some due to rain, heavy fog, and just bad focusing on my part. Still learning but I will LOVE this camera when I learn it better.

Some beautiful browns.

I said it once . . . I'll say it again. When I grow up I want to be just like VITO! Great Pictures, Man. My problem, is that I can't find someone that likes to fish as hard as I do, and can take off on a moments notice. It's hard to take interesting photos when you have to hold the specimen yourself. I usually just end up laying the bruiser on the ground next to my net to get proportions . . . boring!
Keep it up Vito. I never tire of looking at your creativity.

Well these dont quite compare, but im still catching some steel in a smaller trib down the road from the house. Went 4-8 today, 1-1 yesterday. No fly rod, river is too tight i think to fight a fish very good with a fly rod, so the spin tackle came back out of storage!!

Thats crazy!!! Now they're banding eyes too along with the geese??

Carpmaster, i knew i seen a band pic just like that somewhere!!! Over memorial weekend i caught a 4# smallmouth with the same exact type of band in his mouth!! Caught em up on Skegmog lake. Called the DNR and they said it was due to a type of study obviously, im supposed to get more info forwarded to me by mail.. Did you call on yours at all?

[Carpmaster]

Yeah my buddy caught that fish this spring, was 27" and 7# it was banded in Muskegon(50 miles away) in 2002 and was 25.6" long.....they sure dont grow very fast....

Fourth photo from the top is incredible. Thanks VITO, I'm envious of your photography skills.

A friend of mine caught a banded walleye in Ohio last year. The band was from MI and it was a "reward" band worth $100. Nice catch huh?

got one of those almost 3 years ago. its to track their migrations in lake michigan. got some free lures from the dnr with a report charting where it was tagged and where else it had been caught. i kept it alive for the dnr to take the serial numbers off of it and let it go. nice solid 8lb. fish
