Cajun Outdoors - Fishin' Mission
 

We're working on a new monthly feature.

Here's the deal. We're going to compile a list of formidable fishing accomplishments. Readers/Viewers of the site can suggests others. Then readers can contact us and "Accept The Mission". Once accepted we'll send a photographer/outdoor writer out on the trip with you. Basically you have one shot to close the deal and accomplish "The Fishin' Mission". It will be a monthly feature detailing the success or failures of the trip. If successful the Fishermen will get his choice of a bounty of prizes each worth several hundred bucks. The gear is still be compiled, poles, reels, gift certs, gps, etc.

I need you fishermen to suggests some challenges. It needs to be a hard enough feat that it won't happen everytime, but easy enough so that we have a pretty decent success rate. Here is what we're thinking so far, please post other recommendations.

Catch a 5lb bass

Limit out on bass in the Atchafalaya Basin

Catch 10 sac au lait over a pound

Catch a 5 lb speckled trout

Catch a red, speck and flounder in the same day.

Catch a Goujon/Flathead on rod & reel

Catch a 10 lb catfish on rod & reel

Catch a tripletail

Basically we want things that are reasonably possible on a good trip. But the fisherman gets one shot to do it. Once a mission is accomplished it'll be scratched off the list. So what are you guys input on some additions to the list or if some of the weights numbers need to be revised?

catch a limit of yellowfin tuna

hook and fight a blue marlin for twenty minutes and maybe get lucky and get to catch and release the beast.

catch a swordfish

catch a limit of redfish on topwater

Catching a limit of anything but the reda!! is hard for me im gonna stay out of this one
