Re: The "Best of 2014" thread.
Ahhh so goes by another year...
Officially this year my fishing started in July .... before that I rarely got out having taking a very very long rest. I think last time I was out fishing was back in 98.
Anyways ...since I am too lazy to organize all the pictures I have here is a quick run down of what the year had in store for me.
Finally managed to get the bass out of Farrington ...finally ...last time I caught one there was back in 97 so its been a long way coming.
2 PB chain pickerels also from Farrington 26 and 27 inches.

First hybrid courtesy of the Spruce run and some insight from folks here.
Pretty much the whole time fishing was a first after first and surprise after surprise ....
Big big thanks to everyone here. I am yet to meet most of you crazy lunatics but it just a matter of time.
I guess two best stories of the season were discovering a small channel by my house in summer that was loaded with carp. And when I say loaded ...it was loaded. Were pulling them out on average one every 5 minutes on a very secret bait that I know no one ever used before and will call me a liar ....LoL ...at least that's what my friends did until I show them the spot and how its done ....
Second best story was courtesy of some lake in Monticello. Got there on Friday night and left 4 lines overnight. Not on reels mind you just tied them up to the pier. Next morning 3 lines had some catfish on them and 4th one was snapped. Took my friends boat out and spend all morning on the lake without so much of a bite. Finally when I decided to wrap it up ...I got the hit I been waiting for ..... After a brief struggle managed to land a golden carp ...about 9lbs. On a lure... Wtf I thought to myself ....how that even happened... Went to remove it and saw that lure caught against a small tree branch and not the fish... Around the tree branch a line was wrapped around and that was the line that had a fish on ...Better yet after looking at that line t turned out it was the same one that I left overnight and was snapped.... That's right fish ....you cannot get away from me no matter how you try ...
Overall ....looking toward some ice fishing with you all
