Treated my mom to our annual Mother's day trip. The whole day on me. And what do I do... "steal" her fish, and the big one for the day. Just shy of 3 lbs. She was really just learning to fish weightless senkos. She had a bite, missed it on the swing. I flipped mine into the same spot as she was getting a new senko. Bam. "Brat" may have been the nicest word she used 
And limited out on crappie for the two of us

That's awesome Pete  My Mom really supported me as a young trout fisherman 

My buddy and I had a name for that kind of casting....it rhymed with a 'dockpucker' cast

Nice catch.

We use to slay them with Pink Sluggos in the lily pads back in the day.  A friend swore by the wacky rig, too.  Never tried it.

Does a subsistence trip in AK count for this thread?  We weren't closed down, but I did do this after May 5...

A subsistence permit for rural residents means you can longline, but only with 30 hooks at a time.  There are some more restrictive rules closer to town, but we ran a ways out. You're required to retain the first 20 "subsistence" fish you catch per permit.  Halibut, rockfish, ling cod count towards that number.

I went with a good friend up here. Our first set was a test, 1 hour soak in the spot we picked gave up two nice Hali and three yelloweye.  We reset and gave it a 3.5 hour soak through tide change.  That pull gave up 8 Hali (from 12 to 60#), 8 yelloweye and a nice ling. My best subsistence set to date.   We had two permits on the boat so could have retained 40 fish, but quit with what we had.  We ended up with 118# of skinless filets.

We donated some to a few families that can't get out and split the rest.

We won't be going hungry this year.

My first post-ban catch.
What a great way to end a very busy week. A little kayaking with my husband and a nice smallie.
