I took some time out on Monday and hit the fishin hole. We have been having super nice weather lately and the bass were just destroyin everything that hit the water. Every now and then someone would pull over and walk up in the hills lookin for morels. One guy found 8 little greys. By noon each of us had caught nearly 30 bass, with my 4 pounder being the biggest of the morning.
I was pretty wiped out mentally from a long weekend and this was a great way to clear the head. Let's see a pic of your stress relieving techniques.

bass hitting top water, love it!
-
Yep! kayaking and fishing is fun and peacefull. We'd be in jail with Largemouths on a stringer that size. :'(But they are tastie sauteeded in butter, so I've been told. ::) :)

Hey stringbean, nice to know yo have found a way to unwind from all the stress from the Mini IAJam!
-
In the summer I go to the inlaws lake cabin in KY. They all boat, ski, and tube. I sit on the dock and and fish for bluegills and catfish.
In the fall I sit in a tree and wonder where are all the deer at.

Kayak fishing is as good as it gets... an landing big bass from one is even better... Caught an 8 pounder last year from my yak and it jumped like crazy... Only had four pound test, but I finally got it to the side of the boat... What a adrenaline rush. >:D >:D
I am a martial artist though and for me there is nothing better to ease my stress than to work out on my heavy bag... >:D >:D

Eddie that was a private lake we were fishin out of. The owner always tells us to keep everythin under 12". He seems to think the place is over run with small stuff. And yes they were good with butter... and parmesian... and salt. ;D
JW - I had to work like a little fat boy in a batting cage after IA Jam. Then had duty all weekend so when Monday rolled around a friend invited me to hit the water. I just called in and took off. Sure was glad I did. It was a very pleasant day on the water.
-
Scott that is certainly the way to "unwind." Nice catch.. :laugh:

Haha, A friend in our development just picked that up. I don't think the poor guy has had much alone-time with it between all the rides he's been giving. ;D What an incredible machine!
My normal speed is a little slower; kayaking, bowmaking, hiking, etc., but God, I do love the smell of Italian leather.
-
??? That ole horse an buggy is kinda pretty to look at, but where do ya throw the deer?
:laugh: :laugh:
Nice ride!!
-
Nice looking Ride your friend has there Alpinbogen.
They are fun.
Stringman, you tie it on the hood... with the engine in the back and the cruising speed of this buggy you don't have to worry about
the meat spoiling before you get home...
Rick, I'll be happy to pour you a drop if you make it down this way or I make it up there... :)
I keep about fifteen gallons on hand in case there's an emergency.

Man Gus what bait did you use to hook that saddleblanket didn't realize we were so close to each other I'm 2 hours south in Victoria :). My unwinding is either playing some kind of music or doing some kungfu :) plus the usual primitive stuff

Skyarrow,
Was looking for a fishing picture to post and that was the first one I found that wasn't all wonky.
That was from a trip up to Alaska.
One of our stops was out a Homer, and we spanked the Halibut pretty good.
I wish we had 60 pound Flounder in the Galveston Bay System... best you can Hope for is 10 to 12 pounds.
And I like to put the big girls back in the water if they are healthy enough to make it... :)
My martial arts, Fishing/Hunting and bass playing have temporarily suffered under the weight of my two boys.
One Three year old and one One year old.

gus i didn't hardly hunt while my boys were growing up between football, basketball, baseball and marshall arts there just aint enough hours in the day brother, but i loved every minute of it, Bub
-
I hear ya Bubby...
Please don't mistake my sentiment.
I Love my boys more than anything.
One of the ways my three year old, technically his B-Day is the end of this month, likes to unwind is Worm Hunting.
I've had to start him out on a Bag Limit for Worms...
Left unchecked he'd be hunting worms every minute of day light... :)

Have your three year old collect plastic containers around the neighborhood and have him sell bait on the weekends from a little stand down by the lake! Sounds like the kid is ready to get into his own business!

sounds like a plan
Gus we all do what we can, i did alot of coaching and that took up most of the time, we managed to go fishing and camping and shooting, gotta keep'em well rounded, you got a lot of fun ahead, catch it now because they eventually become TEENAGERS ;D, Bub
