Are you proud of that fish?

[Revtro]

How about some pics of fish you're particularly proud of...
Here's a nice Smallie I caught in the South Channel.  I'm proud of this one because it's one of the first good ones I caught when I committed myself to really learning how to fish the channel current.  This one went over 5.

Another Guntersville Pig

My oldest boy two years ago.? He just turned 6.? Not big, but the first bass that he casted, hook set, landed all by himself.? He even picked out the lure.

Nice edit .  Heres one from this spring, no giant only 4lbs 8oz but he was the anchor to a 21lb 12oz limit I also had two 18lb limits and three 15lb limits.  I ran it to the mother load of prespawners, two days later they were gone.  Easily my best day last year.

Nice fish Dowd.  Hey, how am I supposed to find your secret spot if you edit out the background?   

[DOWD]

Not really sure what happened with the camera........ LOL

Steve, Nice Javelin, I have talked with you in Bolles in the Spring, great place to catch some fish with the Kids.

Caught this one on a freezing cold November day out on Kent Lake.  I was using a jig from a new sponsor ( tourneyjigs.com ).  It is part bear hair, part silicone, incredible action.  The next day i caught 8 smallmouth on them, the biggest being over 5.  didnt have the camera that day.  shame.

This one couldnt have come at a better time.  I was fishing the wonderland marine owners tournament with Jose Garza.  We were doing pretty good, catching 3 lbers pretty steadily but time was running out and we desperatly needed a kicker fish.  Thats when i hooked up with this little piggy.

We ended up taking 2nd place with, if i remember correctly, 19.88 lbs for 5 fish.

I had a good season last year as I got to learn A LOT. Last season I caught a bunch of fish and have a few that i'm proud of...

The first one is my biggest smallie on record. I actually weighed this fish and took a picture. But I caught one on Erie a few years back that would probably rival this one....

5-11 Smallie...



Here are some more pictures from the Wonderland Owner's Tournament...





And I like these pictures because thats that day I finally figured out how to catch fish on Cass... ha...






Yeah... I hope this upcoming season brings more and bigger fish... i'm really looking forward to this season...

You figured out how to catch fish on Cass?? Dang!? Please show me....please, please, please...? I hate that lake.? It's my nemesis.?
I always see tons of fish, but can't catch those little suckers.

That was a great day.  I still have not been able to get a hold of the pictures taken by the Wonderland staff and I didn't have a camera that day.  I believe I had a 6.7 pig rounding out that 24.7 bag.  I was so happy for my dad.  That was dream day for us. 6 bites / 5 toads.

I am hoping 2006 will bring some of those same good fortunes.

I was so part of these fish on St. Clair that I had to make my own card.  My wife is standing behind me right now making fun of me.  She is calling me a big hambone........

Here's a couple Black Lake Toads, a 6-1 and a 5-10, caught on back to back casts.  Forget spring, I'm ready for fall again!

[Revtro]

NICE!  What Black Lake was that on?  That's what I love about Fall.
