cant do any worse than I did today, whent out to catch me a sucker today, I ended up drowning the same worm for 4 hours. Not even a bait stealer nibbling at my crawler...

I should have gone bucket fishing, "trout catch and release open today in my area"

I saw the snow came your way too, how bad did you get hit?

[EZOP]

I'll give you a run for your money on the bluegill once I stop working and go fishing again, but for now, beings you are beating me by 8" I'll say nice fish and enjoy the moment.[]

I've been trying to get POZE to enter and she may. She's a great trash talker and fisherwoman, I just don't know if I'm ready to get outfished by her again.
[signature]

[POZE]

Well if he's going to enter then so will I. I always catch the biggest ones. He may catch more, but mine are always bigger. This contest will show him.
