Feeling the power of and landing my first tuna after obsessing about it and logging dozens of hours on the water trying. Not huge, about 58", but quite amazing.

Landed it last Tuesday on what will probably be my last trip on the water this season.

My first full season on the yak.
Logged a boatload of hours day and night on that thing, fresh and salt.
(Funny how traveling over a mile doesn't feel like it when you are having fun!)
Learning to how to use rubber frogs (day and night) with consistant success.
Getting out ON the water with minimal investment and loving it.

Bittersweet anticipation of the upcoming ice fishing season.

Looking forward to 2010!

Watching my son land his first tuna this season, 63", and for me catching more (different) species of fish than ever before in a season.

Not done yet, got to get a tog (legal size) and maybe another tuna if these wind/waves ever die down on SWC.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Very interesting looking fish. Never seen one in person.

I was hoping for one more trip, but my friends are closing up their boats.

Totally forgot: working this board and meeting several new fishing buddies. Some like boats, some don't. BTW: I've applied to join MSBA and hope to meet others in 2010.
