Well, it has been a great year for Monte. Some of our trips we have gotten blanked but
most of them have produced fish.
Back in July my three sons and I booked a trip with Captain Randall Hall (The Lewisville
Fisherman) and he put us on some of the largest sandbass I have ever seen. Just the other
day Ryan, my nine year old, caught a 7 pound striper on Texoma.
Friends have produced fish this year too. Here's Russ Mcdonald
from Alaska with a couple of really nice King Fish. Sure wish I could do some Alaska fishing
sometime. Russ is employed with GTE (like me) and is lucky enough to be located where the
fishing can truly be remarkable. I have a friend that happens to be a die hard bass
fisherman but he said the best fishing trip he ever had was in Alaska. Hey Russ, What did
ya use to catch that? A four pound bait fish? By the way, Russ is on the right in this
picture.
Next is a picture of me holding my personal best...the biggun!
This beast of a redfish weighed in at a whopping fifteen pounds. We were trolling Fairfield
Lake and when he hit I thought I was hung on a stump. Once the boat came to a stop, however,
the fight was on.
Here is my oldest son, Seth holding a fine catch from last spring.
Seth's interests lean heavy towards basketball. In fact he really excells in basketball.
He embarrasses his Dad all the time. Beats me in PIG all the time.
But when the boat is headed for the lake he is right there with his pole asking to go.
