What Are You Thankful For????
As it relates to fishing and the season that just passed.....what are you thankful for????  I am thankful for many things fishing related......thankful my Jeep CJ-7 made it all season long, back and forth to the Cape without any major mechanical breakdowns......thankful the winter finally abated in June   .....thankful for all the great people I had an opportunity to fish with this season  ......thankful for all the great fish I caught this season  .....thankful that I did not catch the record breaking striped bass yet because I do not yet own my own house to put it on the wall forever  .....and I am thankful that my buddy Joe caught my brand new conventional rod and reel combo before that fish took the bait and almost dragged it into the deep blue sea when I had my back turned (thanks Joe).....thankful the season ended when it did because I was getting darned tired of cleaning all my stuff off every other day!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Thankful for Discovering Striper Fishing this year. Thankful for catching my 1st keeper on just my second time out ( granted it was only 29" but it was enough to start the addiction). Thankful for the patience my wife had. I fished more this year than in my prior 11 years of marriage combined. Also thankful for all of the people who have helped me with this sport over the year.
Next year I'll be thankful for landing my 1st over 30#er 
Happy Thanksgiving All!!!! |

I'm thankful that a beautiful 36" striped bass was kind enough to slam my plug so that I can share her with my family in some fish chowder with our Thanksgiving dinner.

Is it good, or is it Sofa King good?

In keeping with the thread, I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to dip a line more than once this year, but moreso thankful for a loving, understanding wife and two great daughters who brought me back from somewhere I didn't want to be and completed me. ILY!
