Well yesterday was our 20 year Wedding Anniversary and what a great day we had. We celebrated it by doing the one thing that we both really enjoy... FISHING! For those of you that have never done this I will say that their is no way to better spend your Anniversary! Our day was perfect. it was very overcast most of the time and it looked like the skies could open up any minute which most of the time always equals one thing GREAT FISHING! We shuffled the kids off to school and Matt tied up some loose ends with his work schedule and I dug out something that I have just been dying to break out this year.. My WADERS! Ohhh baby I could not wait.

Soon after doing all that we were off to our favorite honeyhole. It was not long after we arrived that I broke the skunk for us and we got got down to business. It was not a huge fish but it will certainly do.

The next fish had my husbands name all over it. First thing I did this morning was give him his Anniversary present that I had been saving for just this occasion since I knew he has really been wanting to try them and this was definitely the Lake for it. So I will make you wait no longer and unvail the bait to you!

Matts first fish on the first cast with his new gift.. THE RAGE TAIL LOBSTER!

Of course a little close up of that shot..

Well we continued around the lake for a while but mainly we focused on the deeper water because that seems to be where the fish were hanging out the most. I landed a few more fish but also managed to get quite a few snotrockets today too and I always love to catch a few of those too. I did not manage to get any pics of those.

A few of my fishies!

After that low and behold my husband had on a nice fatty fish on another one of his favorite baits. The BLR Bomber. He kicks my butt with the big baits every time! I waded out of the water to get a snapshot of this one.

This fish was so pretty I just had to get myself in the shot too!

And that was it for our much too short day of Anniversary fishing. As usual there was not alot of idle chatter about nothing which is just the way we like it and we were quite happy with how productive our day of fishing turned out. As the day ended my husband ended up with 3 crappie, 2 largemouth and 2 snot rockets and I ended up with a little over 10 fish, a very good mixture of bass and snot rockets. Then it was time for dinner and on the menu is all of the crab legs you can eat. Thanks for listening and good fishing to you all. :D

Also cannot forget to thank my husband and best friend for a great 20 years and I am definitely looking forward to the next 20 too. :D Have I told you lately what a lucky lady I am.

Congrats on your 20th Anniversary.

Glad you all had a fun time fishing.

It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood....."Congratulations to you both". Couples like you let all of us know that its true, Husband and wife can fish together often and have tremendous fun and joy.

OKAY  that means "Husband and Wife that fish together, Stay together" So that's the secret...hhmmmm

And, what's a snot rocket? I'm guessing it's a little pike, the ones I call hammer handles.

I'm really hoping it's not another name for the world famous Coney Island Whitefish.   :-X ;D

dsaavedra. is correct a snotrocket is a pickerel and they are VERY slimy.  ;D

Thanks for sharing the pics and the story.  It is no secret that my favorite fishing partner is my wife, and, yes it's hard to beat a day in the boat with her.  We will celebrate 20 in a couple of more years.  I wonder if I'd get in trouble scheduling a fishing trip?   :-/

It is a good thing you cant see me when I am having coffee first thing in the morning.  ;D I am a little past my late twenty's to say the least. My oldest daughter will be in her twenties in about 5 years. However I sure would like to say thanks for that statement.  ;D
