The Big "G" has a lot to offer!

Being new to the forum, I wanted to post some pictures of my journey so far. Grew up fishing Guntersville and now my parents live on the lake so I'm very fortunate to be able to fish one of the best lakes in America often. My father and I have always loved crappie fishing but have been really hitting it hard the last three years and have been pretty successful. I would love for everybody to share some pics of their fish on this thread. Anyways, just wanted to introduce myself and post a few pics of some of my better days on guntersville! If you are looking for that elusive 3lber, you would be hard pressed to find a better Lake than The Big "G" imo.

Good pics, will have to make it to Big G one day to try for some a those redfish ! :biggrin
Welcome to the site

Haha Yea those Reds may have come from somewhere a little saltier than Guntersville, and the giant Rainbow may have been caught by my dad in NW Arkansas. But they're part of the "journey" so I included them. :biggrin

Thanks for sharing Eric! Nice pics. Like you said, it's all part of the journey.

Great pics. A little of subject but I love red fishing if you ever get the chance go to Vinci and go out with Brandon carter of ""reel shot"" best trip I ever been on.

HMMM Those Red fish must have come from a strange part of the Big G that looks a lot like Destin Harbor and east pass bridge (GRIN)Good thing I live as far from the big gulf pond as i do!

That smallmouth looks like it was caught on the rock walls outside Whitaker, close to the bat cave. Am I right? I caught a 5 pounder on the inside of Goat Island about 30 years ago. The only smallmouth I've ever caught at Guntersville. Unbelievable experience.

seeing them reds mixed in reminds me of when someone threw a dead shark out on a boat ramp in guntersville.made the local news lol

He caught them reds in south saulty on live crabs.

Great looking fish. The big G is a great lake.

Thanks guys for the comments. Larry David, the small mouth was caught on the wall at goat Island. I watched my cousin catch one about 5 lbs at the dam. Only two i have ever witnessed above the dam. And lowe175, thanks for the info. I love saltwater fishing in general especially Reds, so I'll have to check him out. I didn't get to fish the last two days, but my dad caught 18 wed. And 11 yesterday. He caught them late evening on the same docks we caught them on last weekend.

Hey, I nailed it! Cool. I caught mine on the inside of Goat on the Whitaker side. I threw a roostertail of all things, but put it right on the shore and it must have been cruising. It dove down into a well or something by the boat because it went super deep, deeper than the water depth it seemed. Of all the years fishing Guntersville, I can still vividly remember that fight. Thanks for the memories Eric. Those are some super photos!
