most memorable, not best..

was Friday night. By myself, I trip and fell backwards down a rocky slope in which I was luckily saved as my back slammed into the one rock that stuck up as opposed to the others which slope steeply toward the 10' rocky drop into a river. Near flood current running like a moon canal tide. I kinda felt like someone was watching out for me. Turns my stomach when I look at the spot and the serious danger I would have been if I had been a foot or so to the left or right.
A few minutes later after getting my legs back, I hooked my second fish in three casts that I fought for at least 50 minutes before I did something stupid and my 50lb pp snapped. I don't know if I could have got that fish as even if it died I would have had a hard time dragging it back against the current and I couldn't get any closer due to obstructions.

Only silver liing is that it was a place I fish regularly, where i never really expected to hook something that big and will be better prepared in the future.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

my season

Just joined this site this year. Grateful for some tackle/boat tips from some of the guys here. Haven't fished with anyone from here yet but I'm sure I will. Got some nice wood from a couple of guys to "initate me" to wood.

Few times come quick to mind...
