No, dammit, it wasn't mine....
My friend Kevin Kendrick from Edwards Fishing Tackle called me yesterday morning to tell me that the first local 50 of 2009 from was weighed in at the shop yesterday morning - it weighed in at 50.3 lbs....
The timing is perfect - my brother-in-law is flying in Saturday with his lady to celebrate his 50th birthday.
Last year he caught his first bass after years of bluefish, a fat 35 during a trip with Capt. Corey from the SWE - on a topwater plug mid-morning
This year he's gonna get a graduate course in surfcasting - he bought waders and Korkers from Cabela's and I'm supplying the gear and eels.
If he outfishes me this year and catches a fish to match his age, one thing is clear - I'm
never taking that damned kid fishing with me again....
So get out there and fish like you mean it if you haven't yet - I'm gonna be standing on a rock in about an hour with a plug in the water...
Party on, dudes...
