Not often That East Coast of North Carolina Boat Ramps are Covered With Snow and Ice……1/22/2025
"Whoa! Now, you are in my Pennsylvania world!"
Do you love big bluegill?
Trash Fish Bucket List?
Here's something only my fevered mind would dream up.
Every angler wants to catch the big name fish. Big bass, Massive salmon, trophy bluegill, arapaima in South America (my personal quest), and so on.
But what about those other fish, the "trashy" ones we don't admire nor talk much about? If you were to target them, which ones would you go after?
In other words, what would a "Non-game Fish Bucket List" look like?

I caught a grass carp once...by accident while BG fishing. Got him on a 4.5' ultralight, on 4 lb test. It was quite the battle.

I once caught a 6 foot black water snake on a Jitterbug (casting rod with 10lb test line). That was quite a fight. Those old-world pictures of sea-serpents on maps snaking in and out of the water is exactly what that snake did. I wasn't sure I wanted to 'land' it. Ended up knocking it out when I got it to shore.
So, while I will scratch "snake" off my bucket list, it wasn't on there to begin with.

No trash fish in my book! If I haven't caught a species in the past, it's a trophy to me! If it swims, I'm proud to try to land it!

Thats the right attitude Jason!

I'll second that !

Most of the fish I go after are considered "trash" fish by someone. Bluegills, Crappie, and Perch in fresh water and Atlantic Croaker, Norfolk Spot, and White Perch in salt water. Around the Chesapeake Bay people think of Spot as bait for Striped Bass. They (Spot) are tasty little suckers; I can see why Rockfish like them.
