I want to take a few minutes to thank everyone on this site for helping keep my sanity and enjoy fishing via this site. Met a new friend who is a BR member Big Hands and Jeff has taken this old timer out on the water and catching a few bass. This morning Jeff’s son Ted shared the boat with us and we had an epic day, definitely a trip to remember.

10+ bass each doesn't sound particularly outstanding until you factor in the bass average close to 4 lbs each, we all had several 4 1/2+ lb  bass each on spinning tackle. 

Happy 4th of July Holiday, I had mine a few days early???

Tom  

That's awesome and it's great to hear you're getting back out there to enjoy time on the water!

That's great to hear. Congratulations to you all on an epic trip.

That's wonderful.

Good for you!

This is one awesome bass fishing family!!!

Glad to hear you are back on the water with friends Tom!  Thanks for all you do to educate us up and coming bassin' whipper snappers.

 

I've learned a lot of juice from your wisdom over the past couple years!

Good to hear you’re back on the water @WRB and landing some bass Tom, props to @Big Hands for making it happen!

What a great thing to read this morning! 

Super glad to hear you got out and had a good time.  As you well know, fishing is good for the soul.  Enjoy! 

Great to hear. I thought @Big Handsjust fished with a net not spinning tackle 

There's so much goodness here ~

Almost too much, if that's even a thing.

After 15 years and 30K post the constant for me revolves around the membership.

Past, Present & Future folks who have, do & will no doubt continue

to set a standard that can not be imitated and tough to duplicate.

Integrity above all else.

That's great to hear, you have certainly inspired and taught countless people on here, including myself.     

 

There are some really great humans on this forum, hope you guys get to take many more trips together!   

So cool. Glad you guys got on the water together. 

It's things like this that continue to amaze me about the members here. I want to personally thank everyone for making BassResource.com your home....our home.  Without you, this place would be empty.  It's your spirit, insight, and camaraderie that make this place happen, and I don't take that for granted.  You have choices, and you chose to come here.  So THANK YOU!!

That’s awesome Tom. 

Excellent news Tom! Happy for you,

brother…

Very happy to hear your getting out on the water. Big thanks to Jeff for taking you out.

A Happy Safe 4th of July to you folks.

So awesome.   Thanks for all you share Tom!

Tom with Bass is about as natural as Bass in water. Man belongs in that landscape.

So glad we could share that day (morning, really). I won't ever forget it, that's for sure. We had at least five doubles and with fish like that on 7 lb leader on the edge of the tules, it was as good as it gets. 

 

Such a nice thing to see this today after I have been grappling with a refrigerator that decided that a holiday weekend would be a great time to go on strike.

 

Then, on my way home from a 110 mile trek across Los Angeles on said holiday weekend to pick up a fridge, the clutch on my car's A/C gave up too. I took this as a sign (two signs actually) from the universe that because our fishing excursion was soo good on Friday, I needed a little grounding. 

 

Tom has been so giving of his knowledge and experience, I'm sure there are countless others that would like to be in a position to fish with him. And Tom, no one can take that epic morning from us. It happened and it was a blast.
