Here's a pic from about 25 years ago. It was on Lake Erie. My cousins from Virginia would come up usually once a summer and camp with us. I actually remember this day. 6 of us limited out in about 2 hours that day. We ended up spending a few hours perch fishing after that and still caught atleast another dozen walleye we had to let go

Here's a pic from late 90's I believe. It was Maumee River during the 10 fish limit days. My Brother is in center, me on right and my cousin Raymond on the left. That was before the floating jighead craze when we used leadheads. It was May 2nd because I recall using two 1/4 oz leadheads with Chartreuse Tails tied about 2 foot apart. We caught probably 50-60 legal fish that day in about a 4-5 hour period

This pic is me and my Dad from October 1996. I skipped school a few days to go on our yearly trip to the St. Joe river in Michigan chasing Salmon and Steelhead.

Here is a few of my grandfather, Constance "Gus" Cottis. He came here into Ellis Island when he was 3 from Chios, Greece in late 1920's I believe.

Cool story on my dads buck... He and his buddy that was in the earlier pic of his 91 10 pointer were hunting this buck above hard for three years. His buddy hit him in the shoulder with a broadhead the year before. When my dad got him with his bow, he skinned it out and found his buddy's broadhead. He said it was all black and infection around it.

my only vintage pic Sean,,a photo my 1st deer

 

[Curran]

Colorado Mule Deer in 1978...

My Grandpa and a few of his buddy's were hunting on a new piece of property for this trip, They had been seeing some deer, but not anything big enough to squeeze the trigger on just yet. A few days into the trip, the rancher had some problems with his water pump. My Grandpa, being a well driller & pump guy, didn't go out to hunt that day and stayed behind to see if he could fix the problem. After getting the job done and having water running again, the rancher and he got to talking. The next day, he was hunting in a different part of the property that the rancher pointed him towards where he had been seeing some bigger bucks. The first day hunting there was slow, but on the second day overlooking this same area he was able to kill this deer. I have the rack hanging up in my basement.

Ok here's what I could dig up.

My first trapped red fox in "83"

Ended catching two that year

Some rats from the same season

A bass from a year or two later

 

[hickslawns]

I love the pictures guys.

Badger- I think those trucker hats are in style again. You might want to dig it out of the closet. lol

Cotty- Those are priceless pictures. Sounds like your family has truly lived the American dream. Come to the US and start a family. Too bad all the illegals are turning what used to be a proud moment into a joke. It is people like your Grandfather that have made this country what it is today.

[Curran]

I wouldn't call this one vintage but it is getting old. The girls were about 5 then, and 22 now.

I ran across this one looking for something else and thought I'd share it.
