Definitely catching my first 30lber. 33lb. 4oz. from the surf... E-E-L!!! Thumb was smokin'. That was pretty fun.
Getting my dad into a bunch of fish out in the boat and getting him to admit that I was right about the fact that stripers would kick a largemouth bass' @ss. Screamin' drags aren't too common with freshwater bass. We had a great time.
9/10/01... took a day off to fish and had the harbor and a bunch of fish to myself. Caught fish all day. Probably my best day of the year. That was the last "normal" care-free day that I remember. No terrorists, no war, no disasters, no anthyrax... just fishing.
Seeing my wife catch her first legal bass while on vacation on Nantucket... and seeing my daughter catch sunnies at a local pond. She put a hurtin' on those guys this summer.
Worst memory. Getting peeled by Got Stripers 17-3. That's right Bob, I haven't forgotten... your day of reckoning will come. Obviously, I'm kidding although I do have a score to settle. Getting a jerkbait outfit ready for a return match in Scituate next season.
Worst memory is that I didn't get out with friends or family very often this year. Fished alone alot, which I do enjoy, but I missed the social aspect of it. Something I need to work at a bit more.
Tight lines.
