Well, it's been a fishing season for the ages for me.  In many different ways.

Definitely did not get out on the water as much as in previous years and 

tried to make the best of the opportunities I was given.

Had to work a bit of overtime to clear my mind for each and every trip. 

There were a few fish caught, some pretty decent one's too.

Highlights included:

For the first time in 2 years, getting out on the water a couple of times with my wife easily tops the list.

Not able to put that one in words. 

While still hunting big smallies,  I landed several 5 lb class fish, two that went over 6 lbs, 

and my 2nd ever 7 lb mutant smallmouth bass. 

Another speechless moment. 

I was lucky to see many beautiful sunsets and sunrises,

throw in some plus size pike, one freak of a musky, 

and that pretty much took care of it. 

Pro-V bass is being winterized now and I'm settling in for the hard water season.

Here's a little something I put together to remember it all.

Fish Hard

Stay Safe & warm my friends.

This is true for many of life's special moments. The words may not come, but the feelings never leave. Hold tight through the winter, and I hope to see Y'ALL back on the water in 2025.

 

 

Fine write-up and what a video, Andy!

That is a good lifetime. Crazy good for a season.

Thank you Sir ~ I appreciate it. 

I'm thinking about doing another clips that covers some real fat fish.

Something that includes just SMB of six pounds or more

since my first full year fishing from the Lund. 

But it's a long winter I've got time.

Way to make the most out of the limited opportunities you had to get out this year brother. Those are some outstanding catches in anybody's book. We were all thrilled to see Lynn be able to get out on the water. Praying that the healing continues and she's able to get out with you more in 25. 

 

Sending positive waves up to y'all.
