Let's hear your best fishing moment from 2019

[puppet]

I had some really nice surfcasting outings this year, some with quality in quantity.

The best outing in 2019 was a bit different. I had found some early
season activity where the bass were active during a dusk bite. The
next couple nights I returned without any gear or intention to fish but
on a mission to put my 9 year old daughter on fish.

She cast to and landed her first bass, then over the two evenings
caught 37 more. They were all caught on bucktails. I just stood next
to her coaching and acted as the designated official bass unhooking
assistant.

She landed many more bass than that, but she noted that they were
bass that I cast to an hooked for her. Funny.... By the end of the two
nights you would swear that she had been bucktailing and landing
bass her whole life.

I am really happy to have the opportunity to share those evenings
with her. It was blitz fishing and these days those incidents are rare. I
really never thought I would have a chance to share that experience
with her. The energy in the surfline with the birds, bass and bait in a
frenzy. It was awesome!!!

spent a couple weeks last spring "rustic" camping and fishing the Keys by paddle board...the things that you see cruising through that habitat are incredible and there are so many options for locations to put in and explore...heading down again this spring... making it a yearly endeavor so favorite fishing buddies can fly in and share the experience. To be able to isolate yourself and think about nothing but chasing fish, exploring flats and enjoying the laid back atmosphere down there is about as good as it gets for me
