I was recently able to get all the data salvaged off an old computer hard drive that had crashed on me many years ago. Included on that drive were a bunch of old fishing pictures and scans going back anywhere from 10 to 25 years. One set of pics I just came across was of my long time friend and fishing partner, Paul Wineman. Paul passed away Sept. 2005 at the age of 65. Probably our best accomplishent as a team was winning this boat down on Kentucky Lake back in 1997. The bass in the picture featured on the cover of the magazine was a final day fish that easily topped the 6 pound mark, and that put us over the top. I'll see what other old pics I can dig up and post...

A Little Fishing Pic Flashback
Was rooting for something in the closet over the weekend when I came a cross a small stash of pictures from about 12 years ago of a few trips my buddy BJ and I took. The hybrid stripers were from Eagle Creek when they used to stock them regularly. They were in the 6 to 8 pound range. The bass were caught on a couple different ice out trips in Feb. and March.

A Few Nice Fish From Last Week
A couple pics to share from our readers. The first is Joe Denardo with a beast of a largemouth from NW Indiana. I believe this fish went a bit over 6-1/2 lbs.
Next, "Doc" with a pair of nice fish from a lake I'd never heard of, Glenville Lake near Cashiers, NC which has a maximumm depth of over 125 feet and sits at an elevation of 3700 ft.

Another Giant for Justin
...Giant flathead catfish, that is - LOL. It was almost exactly one year ago today that Justin landed a big catfish while fishing a tournament. He only got a couple low qualkilty cell phone pics then. You can see that fish HERE. Not sure what kind of attractant he's using on his jig, but it scored again this week with another brute. Justin said, "This one was duped by a 1/2-oz. swim jig and Strike King trailer in 7' of water on a grass edge. Of course had the same 30 minute fight and a nice cheering squad on the shore."

Nice Northern Indiana Musky
Big 45 inch by 27.5 inch musky caught in Lake County, Indiana on 8-10-14 at 2pm on a crankbait. Big bass seem slow this year, maybe these big guys are taking some of their territory over.

Reader Pics: Big Indiana River Smallie
If you've spent any time fishing our rivers and streams for smallmouth bass, then you likely know that the benchmark by which all smallies are compared is that "magic" length of 20 inches. Anything less is simply a nice fish. Anything greater is an accomplishment, very similar to the 10-lb. benchmark we commonly use for largemouth. Cliff Gerwick just crushed that standard over the weekend by landing this 22" smallie, and on a fly rod no less. Cliff was fishing Sugar Cr. using a topwater popper, and after a few heart-pounding runs, was able to subdue the beast. Cliff stated that the fish completely engulfed the popper. A quick photo on the damp streambank, and then this smallie was babied back into the river to fight again another day.
Take a Kid Fishing This Summer
Now that the kids are out of school for summer break, be sure and try to make it a point to take them fishing at least once this summer. If you don't have any kids, grab someone elses :) I'm planning to take a couple nieces out this weekend. Received the pic below this week showing a little "girl power." This is Ava proudly showing off a bass she caught while fishing with "Doc" Friedman. Make your kids day - take 'em fishing and then send me the pic. We'll post them up and get them a little PR that they can show off to family and friends.
