I could read a whole book of these. I'm not kidding. Great stories, great moments and some super pics.
I've been fishing so long it's impossible for me to pick just one. I can think of 3 in the past 12 months I'll never forget. 1) watching my 16 yr old son fighting large stripers under a pier. The look on his face, the rod bent in two, the drag screaming. So much fun. 2) Hiking into a Vermont stream a mile with little luck...then he hooks into a large trout on ultralight tackle and lands a 20" brown after an amazing fight and many jumps (pretty unusual for a brown). 3) a few weeks ago he and i fishing from a dock on a small island off KeyWest at night. He was hooking monster Tarpon on a rapala floater/diver. Finally landed a smaller one of maybe 30 lbs.
All great memories he and I will never forget. We are never closer than when we are fishing together.
