OK you have all seen the big fish and the pretty fish-

[44 Degrees North]

Now real life. I feel like Charlie Brown and the rock. One poor specimen of a salmon. 17" and built like a broomstick.

2 flags, a whole lot of jigging and this trophy. Better than working.
Back down the hole and hope he finds a big school of smelts.

Looks like the dried up shiner that was in my shanty from last year ha

Have u been sneaking out on lake auburn at night 44?

[44 Degrees North]

Salty is there a way I can pass this picture along to Joe (bio) not CF. The fin behind the dorsal is missing. I wouldn't know what year that stands for.

Racers down there? This lake is known to have 2 to 3 lb. fish in it usually.

It has always produced nice Salmon not huge numbers but nice fish. The togue die off seemed to coincide with a dramatic change in the quality of fish. Algae bloom is increasing. My white color on my lead core turned green the last time I fished it in September. Caught the nastiest bass and togue I've ever seen from there this year. They looked like Betty white with fins.

Eewwww.

I wonder if that fish has a belly full of soft plastic lures and cigarette butts.

Looks like u pulled him up a tiny hole and stretched him a bit. Does beat working your right

[fishbone]

that poor fish has never  eaten well

[Hoppes]

Sure it's not an Androscoggin smelt?  😳  That's one ugly sample of a fish.  Good post title too!

If you want to contact Joe Overlock in Jonesboro FW HQ, call 434-5925 and ask him the age of an adipose clipped salmon. He told me that last fall's trapnetting showed that the salmoh were thinner. I hope they can move in some smelt eggs to give the lake and the salmon a boost. I am not sure of Joe's email address.

Yeah, he's a pretty sick fish along side the fish you and the girls post up.

I'll call down there sometime today and see if I can get it to him. One fish doesn't make the story but it is concerning.

  It may not have been exactly what you wanted, but at least you caught a Salmon.  It was definitely better than working.  Congrats on going fishing and catching a Salmon.

At least the spot you found to get on the lake didn't require you to risk your life over that "monster!"

Nice tail thought.

Feed him. He's dying of hunger. A good chili dog or 2 should do.
