Best day of fishing ever!
1 Attachment(s)
My parents were in town this weekend to visit from MN. I keep sending my dad pictures of big striper, and he always says that he wants to catch one when he comes to visit.
So we hit the steam plant on saturday in the morning. We froze our butts off for 3 hours without a hit. Then this morning we gave it our last shot as they are leaving tomorrow early morning. We fished a beautiful morning laughing and joking with friends. FloatnFish, Agelesssone, MidTnKayakanger, and a few other friends were out there. Finally out of the corner of my eye I see my dad set the hook, I look over to see his rod bent over and drag peeling. I was so pumped!! When i saw this fish, I almost passed out! I was a very very proud son to help put my dad on this fish. I lifted her overboard and we freaked out! It was 44" long with a 27 1/2" girth and the boga read 46 lbs!! My dads first big striper was a great one! I will remember today forever! |
Tha's a beast. Congrats. I wished I had saved and bought the bigger Boga's. I only got the 30# ones.

But it really doesn't make any difference what size it is ... It is the fact that you did it with a loved one or best friend ... Mike I am happy for you and your Dad !! ... <'TK>< :) |
All smiles right there! we all turn into little kids again when we hold a fish for the camera dont we? LOL Love it!

And, like gboyce says, Merv ain't there to catch fish, he's just there to take pictures of other people's fish. So....that's what I did. I video'd it. I'll post it later.

Great story (and fish), thanks for sharing Mike!
I think I've talked my dad into getting a kayak so we can get out together. |
