As it relates to fishing and the season that just passed.....what are you thankful for????

I am thankful for many things fishing related......thankful my Jeep CJ-7 made it all season long, back and forth to the Cape without any major mechanical breakdowns......thankful the winter finally abated in June

.....thankful for all the great people I had an opportunity to fish with this season

......thankful for all the great fish I caught this season

.....thankful that I did not catch the record breaking striped bass yet because I do not yet own my own house to put it on the wall forever

.....and I am thankful that my buddy Joe caught my brand new conventional rod and reel combo before that fish took the bait and almost dragged it into the deep blue sea when I had my back turned (thanks Joe).....thankful the season ended when it did because I was getting darned tired of cleaning all my stuff off every other day!
