Still looking for my first 40lb (plug) fish of the year (or last year also for that matter)....but I've had plenty of fun doing it.

Ditto.
I also figured out and learned a bunch of new stuff this year. Never too old or experienced to learn some thing new. Oh yeah I finally got my first Albie too this year. Thanks George, it was a pleasure. |

My original Goal was to just have a safe, productive enjoyable season, Little did I know it would be the season of my life! Personally I reached the holy grail landing a 50lber and a 60lber in a span of 4 days, not to many in that club! It was just the best fishing year of my life, Dont really have any goals now but to just enjoy each season as it comes and fish my way! works for me anyway! so cheers to 2007 I will never forget it! No it wasnt cold in june, the reason for the gloves was that my hands were complete Hamburger! I loved it!
Here is another shot of the fish!

Most importantly, learned a great deal about a few new and old areas that will produce many fish in the years to come. You may have a sucky nite catching, but as long as you learn something its a successful nite.

Goal? Just one more. One more fish, one more cast, one more trip to the beach. I guess that's all it's ever been..

I don't have many goals....if I never beat my personal best..thats okay..
I wanted to get a 35# + fish on a plug...I don't care about it anymore, I gave up after 3 years of trying...Ive gone back to eels...
I did get a aprox.30# on a pencil..that was enough...
I had my best local nite so far....lost count, all large..I guess that was my seasons highlight....
All in all a good but exausting year...alot of effort for not alot of results...typical.
