11 years

Headed out to one of my absolute favorite lakes...



The first several fish were smaller planters which is not the norm for this late. It must have been stocked recently. I tied on a big craw jig and finally started picking up nicer fish:




It's hard to stay focused:




Slow deep retrieve worked best for me:



My wife arrived and brought me lunch from DK's:



We have had this anniversary date the last two years. I'm a lucky fellow:




The day was 10/10:



The fishing was pretty challenging all in all:



Still it's hard to beat this lake in the fall and lunch was very good!

Congrats on your anniversary! Sounds like a great day and great partner.

Man - your wife paddling out and bringing you a DK's bacon cheeseburger deluxe (and fries) (good burgers) is such a cool thing! Nice fish. Happy Anniversary.

 

[Scott Salzer]

I met you and Liam on that lake a few years back....

Happy anniversary!

 

[Salmo_g]

I'm going to show this report to Mrs. Salmo!

 

[Josh]

Very awesome on all counts, Billy!

And a wife who paddles out with a lunch burger? You found a gem there, friend!

 

[Pez Vela]

Does your wife have a sister...?

 

[Northern]

What a great anniversary tradition - congrats, Billy!
Oh, and nice fish!

Now I've seen everything
It doesn't get any better than that.
You better hang on to her.
Oh....the fish are nice too.

Lucky man indeed!

 

[Billy]

I should also add if you ever see a little blue kayak ready to go by the launch place your order with me

 

[Tom Butler]

That is really cool, congratulations. After 34 years all I get is "Aren't you gone yet?" and "What are you doing home already?".

 

[JACKspASS]

That is really cool, congratulations. After 34 years all I get is "Aren't you gone yet?" and "What are you doing home already?".
