this year was definately the most i have fished by far....and i loved every second of it. really found the true joy in it...just being outside is the best part. i did alot more fishin than catchin, but i still managed a couple of good times.

caught a LM right at 6lbs at a local private resevoir (kinda cheatin, but still fun). also caught three this year from my favorite creek that between 4.25 and 5 lbs....two of them were in the spring and one was in the dead middle of july.

caught my biggest SM ever this year...it was 21 inches long and a beast. didnt have any scales...got it on a spook this past fall in the same creek.

don't fish for catfish and don't get to go the big pools often to fish for cats and stipers, but hopefully next year...........

great topic. look forward to reading everyone else's posts.
