Not the target species

[TRIGGER]

Down at Guntersville for a new years trip with the wife. The wind was up so we decided instead of running all over the lake we would just get some shiners and stay close to the ramp and catch whatever bites but wasn't expecting this. He ate my minnow in 30' of water. 45 minutes of chasing him around the lake he finally gave up.

Believe it or not but that's the third species of bird I have caught over the years. These all bit lures.

I have an unhealthy hatred towards that species. With that said, that's a hilarious and great story

Not good yesterday. For bass anyway. Caught catfish, drum, stripe, a few bass and a loon.

Was fishing Lake Smith in Alabama several years ago going down a bank throwing a fluke. There were a couple of ducks that got right in front of us going right down the bank. I couldn't get them to turn as I didn't like them headed down the bank if front of us so I decided to put the fluke right in front of them to turn them back. Well, I didn't lead them enough and dead centered the front one in the wings. The hook came out of the fluke and hooked him so I then had to drag him in and unhook. I felt bad but at least they turned around. lol.

30' of water??? That's insane! I thought I had heard it all!

I didn't know they went that deep but after chasing him around the lake for what seemed like forever he took several dives to the bottom with me pulling on him and it didn't take long at all for him to get there.

Used to hook seagulls at the outer banks

Cajuns would have considered that a gift from God.

New flavor of gumbo!
