Friendly Wager thread

I have an idea to make it interesting. This is the Friendly Wager thread- where we can make fun callouts or bets to make the usual day out a little more than just a usual day out.

So basically the initiator bets someone else they can catch more fish/ a bigger fish/ fish in more ways/ more species of fish in a day/more total length of all fish caught etc. and sets a value. The acceptor has to accept the terms and then the day happens... The winner pays via paypal or ships the wagered item and the kingdom rejoices.

Sound fun or am I crazy?

Starting at 12:01 am (within your time zone of preference...as long as you're there now), I would like to see who can catch the most species of fish by 6:00 PM

We have a pretty good group of folks here so pics aren't required but certainly preferred

Winner gets a four pack of my favorite local brew

Hint: I hope you like horny monks

Y'all are going to have your work cut out for you in this multi species battle royale tho haha I went and hit two spots today and was able to make a panfish jig and chase a few of the little fuckers down.


Juvie greenback smallie



Teensy lil largemouth



Perch



You're my boy, Blue!!



Black crappie



Realistically the only ones I'll have a shot at to add to the list from here on out are catfish and pickerel tho.

I should jump on the species one but I barely ever get an hour to fish let alone a whole day. Within a half hour though I have a major river, many trout streams, many farm ponds, and several reservoirs. I bet I could get almost a dozen.

Well done sir, well done indeed.

I guess your lady is a tad more understanding than mine ha.

Looks like that crappie and perch could be dinner on their own, those things are pretty frickin huge.

Gonna be tough for me to get out at all in the near future but I'll try!

In related news I just had a friend who is a trout guide tell me that he knows where there are "annoyingly large" bass... He said he's caught several 10+ and he's definitely not bullshitting me. Might have to bring my stuff the next time we head out that way. I guess nobody there fishes for bass but they get huge because of all the stocked trout. I looked at him like he said he had a unicorn farm haha a 10+ would be a lifetime fish for me.
