BBP's post about letting birddog catch fish put the question in my haid.
What's the most species you've caught on a single body of water in one day?
Mine would have to be fishing for smallies in the river. I caught a smallie, a largemouth, a catfish, 3 or 4 different panfish and a grass carp. On a different day I caught a rainbow with smallies and largemouth.
There's walleye, snakeheads and muskies in there too along with a couple other species of carp and cats.
I've caught largemouth, northern pike, perch, and probably 3 different panfish.
I grew up on an 840 acre lake that had all of them and more in it.
Grinners, sucker carp, buffalo, asian carp, black crappie, white crappie, shellcrackers, bream, polly wogs, flathead, channel cats, blues, bass, and 13 bullfrogs.
It was a rather LARGE net. ;)
I think I'ma have to go ahead and disqualify you Edward. May as well fish with dynamite!
It' probably smallie, catfish, blue gill and red ear on the upper Potomac. A close second would be Largemouth, chain pickerel and sunfish on a farm pond over on the Eastern Shore.
Nah, dynamite messes up the frog legs. ;)Quote:

It sure cut down on people shooting chipmonks just to see what deer rifle would do to one. We enforced it too. I liked to cut them off right below the nipples. Big plaid flags.
If I'm fishing with Mallard or my first cousin, there's almost always a dollar pot on first fish, most fish, biggest fish, and most species. Its a tradition with my two boys and I too.
Maybe here in Postiedontgiveafuckistan we do cray shit!

My deer camp has shirt tails hanging that go back to the 1930's. (I think they stopped the tradition in the 1990's.) They used to be running along the log beams along with a name and date. A few year's back they moved them to a big bulletin board. The club was founded by the grandfather's of some guys that are still in the club. Pretty cool history.
The couple my wife and I fish with a lot like to keep track of "species".. I think 7 in one day is our "record".
I had 19 bass, two big blue gill and Keith had 17 bass three perch. I guided him right on a huge bass but he let it get off after it waltzed him around by his willie. He never turned it. It was a hog. He'll be dreaming about it ror a week.
But alas, I can't do everything. Like setting the hook. I mean.....they ain't got no hands!
An awesome veterans day in the pitdoors with a great fishing buddy.
