Most Memorable Fish
The summer of 08' when i caught my largemouth bass that measured over 26", my 13 year old boy and brother inlaw where in the boat with me. It was early afternoon just after a bass tournament"of course"and i was running my buzzbait when just 10' from the boat came this big slurp and the fight was on. My brother inlaw and son said i was like a little kid when i pulled him from the water, my eyes where as big as 50 cent pieces, man was i excitied. I get pretty excitied when i catch those lunkers,but who doesnt like that sper of the moment when that lunker just slurps down that lure.
Dream Fishing Trip
would have to be a bass fishing trip with either Kevin Vandam or Mike Iaconnelli, in florida on the harris chain of lakes. And of course a fishing trip with "LARRY DAHLBERG".
Best excuse you ever told someone to go fishing

Thanks for the welcome, I was just looking through your pics and noticed quite a few from keuka lake. I just fished the Penn Yan end of the lake last friday. We did ok, I landed 3 fish in a couple of hours, one in 15' of water over weeds, and the other 2 on docks. The biggest was 2.75 lbs. I seen a couple under docks that were absolutely huge. I dont make it up to keuka a lot, I do fish cayuta, Waneta, Lamoka, Seneca, and the chemung river quite a bit. Do you fish the Red Cross Tournament? I was thinking about fishing keuka this year, I got second in the smallmouth category a couple of years ago out of Waneta, but its tough to contend with keuka for smallies. Well, thanks again for the welcome, im sure i'll talk to you in the future, this sight is absolutely amazing.
