Adirondack summer fun

Took the family on a week long camping trip to the foothills of the Adirondacks- We had a great time! Mostly relaxing but we did get in some fishing & we caught a LOT of fish! Crappies, perch, smallmouth, largemouth, rock bass, rainbows and brown trout. We did release many more then we kept. Some of the fish were having a hard time recovering so they became dinner. We used little Needle Fish spoons off the smallest Big Jon dipsies they make for the trout, Most the bass and crappies we caught were with small jig-heads with glow twister tails.

Here's my boy puttin us on the fish- ; Image

And here's the result- :D

Mom & David with some pan friers. David did help reel some in! :)
The BIG smallie was just under 17inches- the crappies were between 10-12inches- we released 2x as many in just a few hours.

Here's little Patrick with another nice bow

And Heather with a decent brown trout that gave her a great fight!
It was 18 inches- my old man released one well over 20inches. :shock:
