hawg caller that is an awesome fish.. Congratulations to you. I bet it felt great to catch her. ;D ;D

That is awesome. ;D Great pic and cute kid. It is nice to see a little girl that doesn't mind getting their hands dirty. My youngest daughter is the same way. My oldest you could not get anywhere near that frog with a 10 foot pole. Thanks for sharing. ;D

Nice fish and it looks like a pretty cool place to fish too.

That is an awesome fish! Congratulations to you! ;D

Today I convinced my husband to work tommorrow and fish today. ( He did not need much convincing) ;D We started off at Hidden Lake the temperatures were about 80 degrees and the water temps were 68-70 degrees. Sunny skies overhead ! I am so glad that the weather is finally warming up and we can go out and fish without being so bundled up. ;D ;D We headed over to my favorite spot on the lake. A cove that seems to be more active. At least right now. The water temps are a little warmer there. It is only a few degrees cooler than on the other side of the late but it is amazing how much more active the fish are. I have noticed this a few other places that I have fished as well so it must mean something. ;D ;D We spent a great day on the boat and caught lots of fish. One caught my husband today too. It was a pickeral. He was a nice size pickeral and he caught it on a SJB. When getting the fish unhooked the fish jerked and hooked my hubby up too. OUCH! Needless to say but as you can imagine my husband definitely had a few choice words for the fish. We also came across a guy who was pulling a big snapping turtle out of the water. This guy was much braver than I. We did not get too many pics but here are a few: My first fish of the day. I got this one in the cove I was speaking about in about 3 feet of water. This fish was pretty frisky too. Popped right up out of the water. ( I love that ) ;D My last fish of the day. I will put up 2 pics. The first one hubby took seems to be pretty dark I am not sure if it is my computer or not. I got this one right as were getting ready to leave. Then I headed out to pick up the kids from school and finally I got to spend some time with my daughter on the water. She is the coolest! I love watching her fish. I swear this kid will chase a fish all around the pond until she catches it. ;D ;D Today she caught quite a few sunfish and a pretty nice bass but we did not get pics of the bass. Daddy was on the other side of the pond with the camera. She caught all her fish on Tournament plastic baits rigged on a small jighead. My Maddie's First fish of the day Here is the snapper that this guy pulled out of the water. Hope you guys got out there and had the chance to enjoy the fresh air and caught some fish too. ;D Almost forgot! Hubby caught this perch at the river the other day. I did not know that they get so big. Thought I would share

Another huge bass. Congrats to you! ;D

Nice fish. I love fishing from shore. ;D

Nice fish, Congrats! ;D

Congrats on the fish and the bass thumb! ;D It looks like your grandparents have a great place for you to go and fish. YOur a very lucky guy. ;D

Great post. It looks like you guys had an awesome day on the water. Some great fish caught and some time in the outdoors with what looks like some awesome scenery too. It doesn't get any better than that. Thanks for sharing. ;D ;D

Good luck to you and have fun.

No doubt about it Fish Chris, you are THE MAN! Great fish, Congrats. ;D

Congrats to all of you, those are some nice fish. ;D

Nice fish Hawg caller. ;D

I fish the Delaware all the time and do VERY WELL with one of these in green/pumpkin gold on an 1/8oz. jighead. ;D Anything similar will do just fine. I fish the river mostly for smallmouth.

Way to go! Awesome fish, Congrats. ;D

a member, Lightninrod.

Welcome ;D

Jack Daniels, straight up or on the rocks. Since my kids just left for the weekend and hubby is not home this thread gave me a great idea.. ;D

If you have a 92 honda accord and pull your boat with it that means that I can pull my boat with my 93 honda accord and I don't have to wait for my hubby to take me. ;D I am so glad I saw your post. How hard is it to put a hitch on your car and how much did it cost. ;D ;D ;D

I have always wanted to try it myself. Looks like it can be quite an adrenaline rush. Good luck to you.

Very well said.

Great fish. Congrats to you both. I miss dans posts too.
