old man

well said.

Congrats on a great fish! What shad rap?

Can't make this one,I'm in Clayton for a week starting that day. Good luck to those who go.

haha,good one!

Got it. Sooner or later I will catch a fish in a tournament.

I guess I was not paying attention. Where do I sign up?

still the best place on earth

How about a senior division? Once you're over 60 you get to cut the first 5 inches off your tape measure. Of course I'm o for 3 in tournaments so that really won't help.

4 of us started around 6 am. Cast until one with one follow to show for it. Got really wet. Then we came upon a dead one.40"er. Real beat up,2 quarter size holes in her mouth. Did not appear to be feeding well. I was going to take it to the hatchery for an autopsy or whatever. 5 minutes later we come upon this: heavy 40"fish without a mark on it. Missing a fin but fully healed there. Not quite dead yet. Tried to get her going for half an hour,no go. Blessed them and buried them at sea. wish I had not taken this pic. Makes me sick to my stomach. Had to bail after that.

Got my stories ready,just need some fish to go with them

Happy birthday and good for you for fishing with dad. Those days are the best and don't last forever.that's my old man a looooong time ago. I celebrated your birthday by buying 2 bakers from mto. Fire tiger and the black and white one.

"Fun loving"?? That's some pg filter on here.

aint that the truth! I don't have hide what I spend anymore now that I no longer care about fun loving

He who dies with the most baits wins

Nice job by all the members in the article.

that sounds good

I'm on it. I'll pretty it up some

I did catch one on a baker I got in an auction the first time I used it. Someone needs to bid this up a bit. Maybe I can get a new personal best for money spent on a bait.

Always ready to drink and buy fishing equipment for a a good cause

Tough fishing beats no fishing. I'm in week 6 of family medical leave taking care of the post-op wife. Cooking,cleaning,watching bridezillas and hgtv. But with all the money I saved on truck and boat gas I can bid up zach's auction. That bait won't go cheap.

Took Larry's idea and made one that fits on a pedestal.makes a nice rod holder too.

it's happy hour,lets go

Oh yeah 5or 6 at chatauqua
