the big one did not get away


This just (reeled) in from HoltJR12:

My first outing after 3-11 (Knee surgery day) was a trip with my friend Bob-the-boat-owner (That's not him in the photo. That's one of Bob's other friends.) The fish was 38 inches long and weighed over 30 pounds. It was the hardest fight I ever had with a striper. It was caught in about 50' of water but due to other boats in the area, the inexperienced boat driver (the other guy in the picture) had steered the boat into 100' water. Of course the fish headed straight for the bottom. Didn't think I would ever get it back up!


I was dog tired when I got home but managed to get up enough energy to cook some of it. "Same day fish" is always the best.

Man I love being a member of this family.

When I get my knee fixed, will I be able to catch fish like that?
