2015- a good year or not?

[SkunkedAgain]

It was a good year for me, not great, but pretty good. Never found a big catfish and I worked pretty hard for them this year. 27.5" was my best one this year. Small mouth was ok, found 3 between 15-16" one day, they were my personal best, one of my Youngmen fishing with me got my goal wiper at 23". Got a 25.5" cutthroat and 20" whitefish and three 12.5" crappie. Everything else wasn't close to my goals for the year. Didn't make it to Lake Powell or Utah Lake, but I did have a fun Wind River trip and I was still healthy enough to pull that off so it was a great year. I know none of these are monsters but they made me happy to catch them. Got to fish with TD and many other BFT'ers this year including a very wet Willard Flotilla, cool informal Bear Lake Whitefish armada and a couple other chance meetings. All in all it made for a fun year. Guess I even caught a couple dinky rock fish from the Pacific. Looking back I think I was pretty spoiled this year. Hope everyone else met their personal marks as well and had a chance to enjoy this great sport with family and friends. Let's hope next year will be even better. Later J
