I could not come up with only one as I love any time out on the water (fresh or salt). But here are just a few that stand out. The best with my son was the first trip he and I made to a small Maine pond when he was 12 to fish for smallmouths. We put the boat in went across the pond and first cast he makes a nice 6# or better smally jumps on his tinytorpedo and the fight is on. After a few minutes he has the fish coming along side and Dad gets it caught in the trolling motor and cuts him off. Greg looks back at me and says thats ok dad I was going to let him go anyway. The fish gods did help me out as we both caught many smallys that day up to and a few over 5# but not the big one. This pond has blessed us with many very large fish and great times together. Another would be the first trip to Cutty back in 2002 with a few new found friends at a site called striped-bass.com. I found the site in Jan. and asked if some of the guys would like to fish at Cuttyhunk with me in June for a weekend and stay at our house. If you can look up threads that far back see what kind of a reaction I got to that offer. Of all the times I have fished on Cutty and Nashawena islands for more than 50 years that weekend would be the best if only to watch the faces of these new comers as they fished the promised land. And yes John R that night with you and me in my boat and Clammer and Goose in his would have to be the most none stop Fish Catching, Laughter filled night of all it was what I think most true fisherman long for. Good fishing good friends good times!!
