Awesome fish! I’ve been reading your blog and really enjoy it.
Dave
Thank you for the very kind words Dave.

Thanks guys. That fish was right at 40 inches long. I suspect it could be a 40# fish in a few weeks prior to the spawn. Water temp was barely above 50 when this fish was caught so it's going to much more actively feeding now.

I like those buffalo. Nice job.

Thanks guys.
We got real nervous after seeing it surface about 100 feet from shore. I could tell it was bigger than anything I had caught before.

I change hooks every 3rd fishing session at least. More if I find one that's a little dull. A new hook is a small investment when we spend 8 hours or more on the bank.

I have made offline friends through the membership that I wouldn't have otherwise. I've met many good fishing partners online and we fish very regularly locally.

I think making a choice to join as a CAG member is a personal decision. People join for different reasons. I joined because as with several membership organizations I belong to, I knew I could short cut my learning curve by reading, sharing, and learning from others. The value in having a resource to ask questions alone, is worth the small cost of membership to me.

I think a forum or Facebook or personal relationships take work. The more you give, the more you get. The more you contribute that adds value, the more people share/contribute back to you in return.

Hard core indeed Kirk.

To some who catch mirrors on a regular basis this fish may not be a stand out, but for yours truly who has only caught 5 or 6 mirrors in several years it's a special fish. There have only been 2 mirrors caught at this venue that I personally know about. Interestingly, the two fish have been caught by two different anglers.

Nice pics. Sometimes it's hard to pick just one.

I titled the post "favorite picture" and not "favorite fish" because they are not one in the same for me.
This fish picture is as close to perfect as any I have had in 4 years (in my mind/opinion). The fish weighed 23 pounds.
The only processing completed on this photo is a few minor adjustments to contrast, saturation and I added a vignette to hopefully focus the eyes more towards the fish.
What is your favorite fish picture from 2017?

I have fished 4 years plus with hair rigs tied from PowerPro braid. I got some N Trap late in the season, but didn't have confidence to use it.
What are some advantages of using the semi-stiff material for hair rigs?
Have I been missing the boat all these years?

60 to 90 minutes seems to work best for me

Spices like pepper seem to attract buff's. I have caught quite a few with homemade habernero/jalapeno boilies and mixing habernero/jalapeno boilies into my packbait. To catch them you can't wait for the alarms to sound; you have to watch the line.

How many are signed up at this point?

I soak mine in the same container with my flavored maize.

Costco has Honeyville Organic Peanut Butter Powder Bag. 32 oz for $12.79
I picked up the peanut suet as I was fishing close to an HD. Do you crush them, or just soak them?I just crush the peanut suet with my fingers a little bit when adding to the panko. I use a small handful at a time. It will last quite a while.

I think it has to do with spanning. For the bigger fish, I also think it's a matter of age, experience and treachery...so to speak.
I am nearing 50 years of age and things I took for granted when I was 30 years old have changed. Arthritis impacts me almost daily. I have had surgery on both knees. I don't recover as quickly when tired, sore, etc.
I would guess it works the same for fish.
