Nice Fish, Great B'day Present....Curious if you were using Graham Crackers as Bait :hee:

nothing better than a good outing on your b-day....... over the years i've had 3 that stand out as some of my best days ever.

Ah.. that old trick..

Hey Jim, nice fish and congrats!

Tell me about it. Nice fish Jim, happy b'day, and looks like you have a future fishing partner there. My son is about the same size and 27 mos old. Very cool pic.

the only way to get him to stay still in the picture....all he kept wanting to do is touch the ....ISH (can't say fish yet, only 18 months old)

:D

Hey Jimmy! Good for you. 'bout time you caught something decent. You were on a poor streak for a few. Happy for you
