This one is from a couple years ago in the Prince William Sound. Not the greatest picture but it does bring back some great memories.

I usually don't take many pictures while fishing. I need to start. Here is a shot from last year. My favorite fish to catch. I have not found anything more fun that catching 5-7# smallies on lighter gear.

Dman those are some beauties.....where abouts did those come from??
-
Dman? I see Mrays. NEAT abstract photo on that fish. That fish rocks!
-
Not sure but I think he meant Damn??? not Dman! :dunno:
-
:DOH:

-
Thank you!
-
Wow that is pretty funny....Damn typo's anyways....But Mray where did those come from...Very nice pics on some dandy fish....
-
I think it was the Zipperlip! ;)
-
:chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
-
MRay..what camera did you shoot those with. Very very nice.
-
Just a toysrus point and shoot Nikon cool pics ... I think it's 7.0 ... Oh and Thanks!
-
I'll join the crowd, M_ray great pics, I thought the first one kicks ass. Something about it just jumps out and grabs me. Well done.
-
Here is one of our Halibut trips... Myself and my brother that came up from WVA for a few rips on the rod and reel.. I will tell you there were three others that were on the boat too, two kids and their grandpa.... We had a great time... to say the least.
-
:yike: From the looks of the fish hanging there had to bee some very tires arms, shoulders and backs at days end as well? Nice job cohoho... and family
-
This is about all I could come up with... for now... and I tweaked it a bit to liven it up...
(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv351%2Fhornseeker%2FP1010045.jpg&hash=0bc6ea2d34b0b09395c5771fed9a56eeffc6677a)
-
Not even a bite that day. Some would call it a bad day. You tell me ...
(https://hunting-washington.com/cpg/albums/userpics/10055/edan_smile_2_email.jpg)
-
Anytime you got a smiling boy in the outdoors fishing or hunting it is good
-
great picture!
-
COOL SHOT...
WHAT DO YOU FISH FOR IN THERE? :dunno: :chuckle:
i REALLY LIKE THE TEXTURE OF THAT ICE AND THE SUNSPOTS ON IT TOO.
-
Man- between Sky and M-Ray photos, I think they stepped up the competition to another level...
-
Here are a couple different fisheries.
-
Cool pic SKY, At first I looked at it and thought it was a big fish like a tarpon or something under the water on the side of a boat, :dunno: looked at it for about a minute or two and thought "now how'd he do that?" Then I read the next post by EMPyre and thought "what the hell was I looking at?"... Beautiful pic, my imagination and I are going to get a cold one...again! :party1:
-
Head-shot don't worry I thought the same thing! I was trying to figure out where the fish was in the picture ... then I read the words "into a Glacier" (https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fbestsmileys.com%2Fdoh%2F1.gif&hash=259a6f3503e15c3344483758752b9d898ecda1a3)
Someone tell sky what this months theme is? (https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fbestsmileys.com%2Fclueless%2F1.gif&hash=5c56fb98bdab161e718514ef5bfc9b63aac3a12a) Sorry sky I had to!
-
Great hair thinks alike.... :chuckle:
-
My Bad :bash:
-
Why am I not seeing this pic from SKy??? What are you guys talking about?
-
Hornseeker It looks like Sky deleted his post because it was not within the theme of the month. But if the theme was anything to do with snow I'm sure he would win! It was a really cool picture from within an ice cave looking out at the light reflecting in.
-
Yep took it off as it didn't fit the theme of which I missed.
-
Phool - I see my dad's house in the background with you holdin that steelie!!! :yike: haha
-
I noticed that Jon ... I figured you would know right where he took that picture! Oh and BTW that's Huntnphools brother with the Steelie.
-
Here's my submission. I didn't take the photo, but I caught the fish. Man it tasted good. Caught this one right off of Edmonds... ;)
Oh, I don't know who Samantha is...
(https://hunting-washington.com/cpg/albums/userpics/10250/Dorado_800_px.jpg)
-
nice fish pope. those are the best tasting fish in the world if you ask me.
-
I thought you would say something Jon, was just waiting. Thats my little bro holding the pic, and a friend I used to work with. He is the one I posted a while back that builds those SafeBoats everyone drools over.
-
Here's the best I could come up with from this year. I like the color on this Steelhead. LongTat took the photo. (https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi238.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fff110%2Ftkswhanson%2FIMG_1235.jpg&hash=0f8de76b80b080a1084aed282e7cb0cf4201dbb3)

-
Heres a picture I took of my hunting partner, during ice off at a high lake in Skagit county. First ones into the lake, 4 miles threw the snow, cold and rainy all day, Id do it again in a heartbeat.

Don't have many fishing pics cause I don't fish much anymore. :(
-
:) I was fishing at 10bouys got King 33lbs. Another pic Strip Marlin got hooked and Fought for 1 hour half pull out of water. It was blast time. Also I wish I got a biggest Sword Fish next to me in a picture, but oh well. What happen I was sitting in boat driving really slowly and I saw a two Fins and Hey Guide look over there and he said are you crazy u want SwordFish and I said ya why not. He laugh and said sure thing so they seem not happy about it because they knew it would take FOR EVER! so he threw and live fish, I had it hooked and FOUGHT for almost 3 hrs, what a stubborn fish would keep pulling me down for long time. Hook got snapped in half. Uneblieveable. The Guide said it might will take me 8 to 12 hours to pull this out of water but didnt success. :'( Guide said it possible 300 to 400 lbs down there that I lost it. :bash: :bash: anyway here enjoy.

I didn't expect what I saw in the photos from your post.
The photos are great, I was trying to get an idea on where you might be from, I knew a person 20 years ago that you look like his name was Jerry, and him and I were the best of friends till I went in the service and I have never heard from him again !!!
Thanks again for posting the pictures.

Here are a couple of photos of me up in Alaska during the Free Guided Fishing Trip that I won working at Joe's Outdoor Sports and More:

Dick,
I checked them out. Awesome pictures thanks for sharing your adventure!!
-
grandpaw...love the photos, read the other thread and loved it too...you can only enter 2 pics for the contest.
-
Hey grandpaw, were you at the fishing PK last month?
-
a few oldies...good memories though
-
Nice ones. I've caught a couple fish there.
Here are a couple boneaddict shots just for fun.

dam that thing is a beast is that the yakima canyon bone
-
No, I wish. One of my favorite ole' watering holes. THat was probably the best day I ever had fishing. My fishing partners were about to hang me from a tree, or deflate my float tube. I think I caught 12 fish in a row that were like that in 12 casts. After about 6 of them, they quite taking pictures, and just glared at me. I'll have to dig out some more pics. One of the fish was an absolute monster.
-
33.5 pound Springer caught Friday. Story in the fishing section.
-
Boy at 800 x 600 it really looks crappy? The real pic is way better. Not for judging but here is the non re-sized pic. Can you make them look that good in 800 x 600 or so?
-
Now you know what I put up with with all my shots. Some of these compressions from these 12 megapixel cameras are for the birds. Great fish!
-
I have to submit my grandsons picture. The kid is just a crackup! He doesn't like to touch the fish but loves fishing to no end.
-
No more entries as of now. Thanks everyone, we'll try to sort this one out.
-
Congratulations Mray You took the Photo pf the Month contest with the spoon shot. I think we have our first repeat winner. This was another very close one between two shots. Nicely done! I'll get Mays contest going this evening. Dig out those Turkey shots.
-
Wow twice, Thanks! Is this where I get to use this one ~ :kneel:
Just kidding :chuckle: I like that one alot too,Thanks again! :whoo:
-
dude...wow, congrats again.
you're a pretty big deal around here.
-
Good pics all! Grats Mray...good choice.
-
you're a pretty big deal around here.
No ... Just lucky! ;)
Thanks guy's!
-
M-ray=Special. He always has some great shots and even better he always remembers to bring his camera. If fact just the other day he was showing me an outstanding picture he had. Now if he pulls a picture of a turkey out of his ass I know it's rigged :chuckle: Congratulations!
-
:)
-
Nice choice. That one would of gotten my vote. Any good fishing pictures I had from the past are either printed from film (I dont have a scanner) or they went with my old hard drive when it *censored* out on me ( I back up more often now :'()
