The Lake Erie Monster.

[djkorn1]

Check out this Sturgeon caught in Lake Erie last year. Took 12 hours to pull him in! He is probably older than all of us. :Banane35:

[Matt_E]

what he said

[redrrocket]

wow.. now im a little scared to go out in the water now. thats from lake erie?????? is there a story to go with that pic?

and yes the primus rocks.

[djkorn1]

No story. They sit on the bottom of the lake and rarely get caught. They don't really bite at lures. Crazy ass old prehistoric fish...

[Mrs Cattledog]

YIKES........now you tell me!

don't worry about those sturgeon... it's the muskey that will bite. I've heard in the news several time over the years about a fisherman losing a finger, or a swimmer losing toes to these bastards...

[djkorn1]

But they are not in Lake Erie.

[Frosty]

But they are not in Lake Erie.

Muskey - I thought we had some in Lake Erie?

[djkorn1]

I know they are in the Finger lakes in New York...

[Lake Erie Monster]

something was nipping at my toes last time i was at the edgewater ramps

[djkorn1]

yeah...what the hell is that????? Ski4 gets nibbled on ALL THE TIME....I have felt it once or twice too!

[Frosty]

we've been getting a lot of nibbles up this way too. not sure what fish they are but they seem to like nibbling on the hair on my legs. kinda freaky

[firemedicmonkey]

x3 I was getting nibbled on last time out with the Cleveland Crew at Edgewater... Not sure what it was about but it was freaking me out...

[ski4]

all last year i got nibbled every damn time my feet were in the water
and a few times this year

[firemedicmonkey]

well hopefully the nibbling will come to an end soon like next time I am home! you ready to ride bruda? I'm coming home thursday... I want to ride evey friggin day flat water or not!

[djkorn1]

...once my new handlepole comes in and I get it installed.

[firemedicmonkey]

Well you got till thursday... What happened? Did the UMI crap out again already? ...

[Idok]

you wil find musky in ALL large bodied norther waters...they are very similar to Northern Pike but even more elusive



12 hours musky fishing if you see one or get a strike its a good day.......I have musky lures in Mich that are over 12" long..

they are hella heavy and have monstrous hooks

musky wont nibble, if it wanted it'd just take a bite out of you......most likely those are panfish

[Frosty]

yup... muskey are serious fish.

what are panfish? Like minows?

[Lake Erie Monster]

whatever they were they were little and bothersome not painfull just kinda annoying. i was kinda worried it was a snake or turtle

[djkorn1]

Look in carnage. :shocked:

[firemedicmonkey]

Look in carnage. :shocked:

I did a few days ago... I posted before thinking...:spank:...

I'm just so excited... I just can't hide it... :slap: lol

Being stuck here land locked in Texas is killing me... I can't wait to come home and ride with the crew...

[motorheads5]

We will get a 300/350 pound halibut caught around here every year and the local's know that they don't want it because the meat is grainy, it tastes like crap. however if you leave those monster's alone they are big time reproducer's and we need to do that because our halibut fishing is getting out of hand from all of the fuggin tourist charter's.
it's kind of a controversial subject but I love catching a fish and I live in the salmon capitol of the world, however you only need to take what you need for the winter then go earn it again next yera what I am trying to say is that they did not eat that stinking reproducing sturgon I gaurantee it. lol

[X2Addict]

We get nibbled all the time here in KY Lake. Just panfish, as said above. Panfish, bluegill, sunfish, perch, brim, whatever you want to call them. They are all close to the same if I'm not mistaken.
I took my first 2 dives of my open water certification yesterday, and we were all getting bit by the little bluegill/brim. The seem to like ears. The quarry we went to was no fishing allowed, so the fish were very friendly. Even drew blood on a couple people with their nibbles. Little creepy at first. I watched one swim up slowly and bite a thread hanging off of my wetsuit, haha. They were very small though, few inches long at the most.
