>>2846290its so hard for me to resist retaining at least a handful of bullheads each week, whenever it rains my backyard becomes filthy with nightcrawlers which I collect and slap on a jig I cast out into the water. In very simple terms its a renewable edible resource that needed nothing beyond what I already had laying around.
>>2846307yeah bro only reason bullheads are so over represented is that I often just post w/e the fuck I catch as I catch them to abuse the fact I live on the water for the first time in my life. It's like being able to post your guns on /k/ and style on nogunz. All summer dudes went past my dock like 20ftish beyond what I could cast to and a lot of them caught walleye and pike doing that, so I've been trying fairly hard to figure out what I can do to make my odds better just off the dock. Probably need better rods meant for big time casting at least during summer. Fall appears to be bringing more interesting fish closer to shore more often.
pic is the last nice pike i brought out, p sure my best is like 30 inches but this 1 is just a nice average specimen
