He didn’t measure it. I told him about it after he sent me that. He went and put a tape measure in his tackle box after we talked. He’s only 13.

With that picture you posted, with both the fish and scale. That should be enough for them too determine. You can submit it for him and surprise him. We did it for some buddies who came up from NC a couple years ago too fish Erie and they caught 3 speices of fish Ohio and were awarded the certificates and pins.

When it arrives, tell whoever is there too have a camera ready for that grin he’s about too get on his face! We gave the certificates too the guys the following year when we came down here too fish lake Norman with them. Two of them were in their 70’s at the time. The grins they had were priceless….

Outstanding and even better if the rest of the story plays out! Fuel that fire in that kid. This is awesome.

I did get him a certificate and the pin is in the mail. He just sent me this one. My man is on fire. One of the elusive wipers.

 

[giles]

My kids still talk about all the fishing excursions we had when they were young, both on the boat as well as the farm ponds we’d hit….

What kind of wood do you use to smoke your trout? I've never smoked it but I'm always up for trying it.

Yea man no problem, any fruit wood. Apple, cherry, peach, even alder. Would stay away from mesquite and pecan.

I assumed a fruit wood would be best. Little sweeter smoke.

The wife and I went to see Luke Combs at the shoe. We found a little honey hole out by my sisters place. My 3 year old nephew caught the biggest bass on a 2 foot Spider-Man pole.

I had not fished in the state of Ohio since July 4. So, Saturday afternoon, I was desperate. I went to the river after lunch in the heat of the day hoping for something. The water was still murky, the fishing very slow. I finally picked up a few crappies to get the skunk off.

Then something unexpected ate my little minnow fly.

When I saw it the first time, I thought it had to be an accidental snag.

But, it ate it.
