I was fishing with friends and the 10 pounder, on the right, hit on a Heddon Crazy Crawler. The 9.5 pounder hit on a buzz bait shortly thereafter. Both of these exceptional Tiger Bass were taken on topwater baits from Hampton Lake in South Carolina on a cloudy, overcast day in March, 2012 during the spawning period. Both of these beautiful fish were released unharmed. -guideman77Got Milk? This little fawn is getting some milk from mom. My first fawn milking photo.

Over Father’s Day weekend we went to 5 Mile Pond located near Elk City, Idaho. While my mom, dad, husband, and our two daughters were fishing, this Osprey decided he needed to show us how it is done. I was so thrilled that I was able to catch this on camera! -Ashley RobinsonBest Fight of my Life I took my best friend on a salt water charter for his Birthday and cought the biggest fish of my life! It was 40 Inches and about 30 pounds. I have been fishing since I was 4 years old and it’s my favorite thing to do in life. I am now 23- and can say that this mission has been accomplished- Catching a bass that I could barely hold up in a picture. I hope you enjoy it (: -clkbmx4th of July Pike Caught and released this 37 in, 14.5 lb Pike near Jamestown, ND. It was one of four 13-pound plus caught this weekend! -MNABTwin Tower Toms
These two Tom turkeys are just standing in front of my trail camera. Maybe, they know the New Jersey hunting season for turkeys is over. -LovesOutdoorsA Proud Papa After his first casting lesson with an ultralight rod and reel i tied a little 1/8 ounce spoon on and turned him loose. On his third cast he yelled that he had a bite and i looked up expecting to find him tangled in the weeds. When i saw this on the line and heard it taking line i was shocked to say the least. Thats a mighty big fish for a 6 year old to handle on a 4-foot rod! -Sarah HartleyBig Walnut Creek Muskie I was wade fishing for Smallmouth Bass with my brother and nephew over the 2012 Memorial Day weekend in Big Walnut Creek near Greencastle, IN when I hooked into this 44 inch toothy monster. My family has fished this small central Indiana river for decades and we’ve never heard of anyone catching a muskie. Caught the fish on spinning tackle with a Rebel crawdad crankbait. -Tlancaster1Hayden’s First Bass
My four year old son Hayden hooked this lunker on the first cast of the day. The little stud hooked it, fought it and landed it all by himself! This is his first bass ever. Not a bad start if you ask me! By the way the smile never left his face the rest of the evening. -fisherman25kobes crappie taking my nephew fishing -bobkumm40-Inch Musky I was Bass fishing and threw a green 1/4 oz. jig head with a chartreuse Gulp Minnow body. One cast and this gorgeous Musky came from behing and ate it next to the boat. I was using Ultra Light spinning equipment and 6 pound test line not expecting to fight a Musky. The fish fought well and was released unharmed. -guideman77While on a cruise in Alaska my daughters and I went on a fishing trip in Ketchikan, Alaska. As you can see my youngest(11 year old Courtni) caught a nice 32 inch King Salmon in 300 feet of water. We were using herring. She also caught an 8 lb.

Ever since my son won a tackle box years ago, he is now one with the fish. My dad and I took him steelhead fishing this spring.When he hooked into it it nearly jerked the rod out of his hands. 15 minutes later he reeled it in. I think he was as excited as I was!
