"alwaysfishking" wrote Ok the year is winding down and I've been thinking
about the year is
perspective and fishing achievements/accomplishments. What are some of
your
memorable fishing experiences this past year, good, bad indifferent. Win a
tourney? Teach a kid to fish? Get out with the old man/lady? Catch a fish
on
a crankbait for the first time? Lunker? Personal bests? Let em rip. I'll
post mine later.

Randy-

I did get my new personal best this year. A 7 pound 10 ounce largemouth,
back in April, from the bank on a small private lake here in Cabot AR. Got
it on a bleeding shad secret weapon spinnerbait. It's on the braggin board
on the SWL's web site.

And this fall My sons Boy Scout troop & I (I'm an assitant Scoutmaster) went
to the Cub family weekend and I and some of the scouts helped over 100 cub
scouts earn their fishing belt loop. To earn it, they had to revue the state
regulations, bait their own hook, and attempt to catch a fish. You should
have seen some of them with their first time handling a night crawler. :-)
Had 16 zebco 33's out with cub scouts casting them all over the place. A lot
of them caught their very first fish there that weekend. One caught a 2 &
1/2 pound channel cat. Hopefully some of them will catch the bug and will
take up fishing. Already said I'd do it again next spring. It was a lot of
fun.
