My first fish in almost 2 years

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]It’s been 19 months since I wet a line, so I talked guide Mike Stein into taking me out for a couple of hours and this was my first fish.[/size][/font]

Way to go Roy. It looks like you haven't lost your touch. That looks like a very nice Smallie.

Keep up the good work.[cool]

Allright Roy! Nothing beats that first fish after a dry spell, in your case a really long dry spell, so that makes it extra special!!! Killer fish though! [cool]

Now that's one beautiful piece of live bait you caught there! Bet it felt good to wet a line.

Hey there idratherbefishn, welcome aboard and thanks for your inputs!!!!! Don't forget to check out some of the other boards as well. I know i'd hit the water everyday if I could, but here lately, the wife has been gettin' on me for going so much. Geez, does anyone else have that problem? It wouldn't be so bad if she liked fishing, but she doesn't, i'd love to take her with me, but she won't go. What a perdictament.
