Smallies 2009

My dad and I just got back from our annual small mouth fishing trip.
Take a look. And before you say anything wise, Phil...... Yes, the guide did chain up that 35inch northern pike for me ahead of time, and drove the boat directly to the spot where he knew the fish to be waiting. He also swam under the water, and placed the hook into the fish for me .

VERY heavy animal, just when you thought the fight was over, he'd bend your rod completely in half.
Landed him in a cradle net.
How amazing to hold something so powerful. He could have taken my hand off at the wrist!!

Hey!, What are you doing with that cigar in your mouth?

Do you know another way to smoke it?

Why a four-year-old child could understand this report. Run out and find me a four-year-old child. I can't make head nor tail out of it.

I have been meaning to leave a comment but was always drawn away by the stunning karate girl in the upper right hand corner. That is quite a fish and it was awful nice of your guide to let you hold it for a picture. HaHa! I had to get at least one jab in.

Kratz comes Through!! I was starting to wonder if complications from surgery had removed your acid tongue. I'm pleased to see you are still with us!!
