I have a feeling my oldest will hand it to me one day as well LOL. Took me a bit to figure out the whole fly rod thing and she picked it up in 10 minutes and had a solid drift going catching fish... Good feeling though, and awesome memories.

Man I'm super jealous! Looks like you guys had an awesome time. Nice job Liv! Way to whack them!

Thats a nice one cracklebak! Always fun catching them in the dark. The one I caught down there a few years ago made a B line for my cuz as soon as he turned his headlamp on. Jumped out of the water right at him and almost ended up in his vest LOL. He then made a B line to shore LOL. Was a great funny moment for sure @fmcbrandon

Awesome report Mr. and Mrs. BH! I'm super jealous Marty and had to skip my trip out to Idaho this year... I will live vicariously through you guys as I usually do. I still have something special planned for your fries you sent me too. Haven't forgoten, but sadly haven't stood in a fresh water body of water for almost over 3 months now Glad you and the Mrs. are able to get out there and live the dream sir!

Nice job man! Love those wild bows and you sure know how to get it done on that creek! Thanks for sharing.

Nice fish! All these creek stories have me jonesing bad to go pound some water.

In the small creeks I fish I've caught a few on Crick Hoppers. The small trebles helped with a super hard hook set. Well as hard as my little ultralight buggy whip could muster... I was sight fishing them and intentionally trying to catch them. I caught about a 3 foot gar by accident down below the cable a few years back on one of your grey and white jigs too at night. Say we catch them what should we do with them? I know some guys will bank invasive species, but i don't necessarily like killing critters I won't eat... If they need to go though for the good of the trout population I get why it needs to be done.

Yeah I was using a 5oz weight and it was still so rough it just tossed my bait all over the place... Glad you got into some snook they are a cool fish for sure

Shark charter was a bust... Guys were a great time however and took care of us. Another group did catch about a 5 for juvenile tiger shark. Not the big ones we were looking for though... Kind of a bummer, but that's fishing I guess... Weather has gone to crap too so I'm prolly done fishing for now. I'll throw some shark pics up when I dump my GoPro.

The majestic sea flap flap

These were not the sharks we were looking for, but still fun to catch them. I caught a sea flap flap too... AKA a stingray.

Hit up a small island excursion today. No fishing for us, but saw a ton of fish. Chased them around and found about a jabillion more hermit crabs... Little suckers are everywhere. No fish last night either... Saw a ton of lady fish, and whiting being caught, but I was too lazy to change out my leader for lighter tackle... Got hit once real good using live pin fish, but just can't seem to get them hooked... Heading out now to hopefully have better luck tonight.

Mr. Horse shoe crab.

I am in Panama City Beach. I have fished that same spot in Destin Smalliebigs. Tons of good spots down that way. I'm sharking from the beach tonight outside the condo tonight. No luck just yet, but hoping the tide change brings them closer to me. Had the kiddos out earlier and we caught a big horse shoe crab. Was pretty cool and first one I've seen up close. Caught some hermit crabs too, now I gotta figure out a way to convince my girls they make poor pets lol. I'll throw some pics up in the am. Hopefully with a toothy one in there.

Geno caught Mr crabs too

First pin fish fish lasted all of 5 min and got smoked. Left with just the head... Gone through about 6 or 7 that way... We've also caught 2 remoras on the bait rod. Funny looking fish.

Blue fish from last night. Caught some live pin fish for bait tonight. Hoping to get hit on the big rod.

Prolly won't keep any. mostly all cpr for me unless we catch some pompanos or whites.

Last night was pretty slow... did catch a nice blue fish, but mostly pin fish and other bait stealers... saw a few small sharks get caught, a nicer king, and a few Spanish, nothing really big though. I fished the pier as surf was really rough last night. I'll throw some pics up, but other phone is dead..

Stage is set for this evening... Got to get a power nap in after that drive... Stupid rain...

Leaving at midnight tonight, heading south again for a week of vacation with my fam, and I'm freakin pumped. After my stupid busy summer this is my relax and fish vacation... No theme parks, no set schedule, just beach every day, fish every night. Brother-In-Law and I have a Shark charter booked for Tuesday night, and we're both bringing our big gear with us to surf and pier fish. Hoping to fish every day and night I'm down there, Kings are running and Pomps are hitting good from the surf, so hopefully I can maybe fill a cooler this time too. We're fishing with Off The Beach Shark Fishing. They kayak out about 600 yards at night(big brass ones) to drop bait for the big boys. They've landed some absolute monsters, including some 12ft and 14ft hammerheads and some big Tigers, Bulls, and Mako too. Goals are to catch one that weighs more than me, and also I want to get the "ride it like a bull" pic pulling the snout back. GoPro will be running, and we're bringing a ton of light with us too so hopefully I'll get some good footage. I've caught little sharks before but this one we are hunting for the big ones, and hope we get hooked up. I'll dump pics here hopefully and try to post up a daily recap.

Man those are some huge shad. Big bait Big fish Nicely done, and as far as superstition goes I am with ya. If I don't put my phone in my waders its always huge fish after huge fish... Even worse if I dare strap the GoPro on to try and get some footage LOL

Man BH sorry to hear that. Just went through that with my wife's grandmother who was pretty much my grandmother for the past 20 years... I was with her when she passed and although hard on all of us I knew she was finally at peace. Thoughts and prayers to you and yours. Stay strong, and focus on the good times.

Yeah don't knock them for keeping fish and likely swallowed that minnow hook and all. Beautiful fish for sure and will make an awesome mount and memory. John I'm still waiting for that shot buddy. Hopefully I have you there as a witness! Would love to have a big submarine like that on the end of the line!

Saw it on the Weavers FB page. https://www.facebook.com/Weavers-Tackle-Store-371940309303/ Thats a pig there. Biggest trout I have seen caught out of Bennett since I've fished there. I'm sure there are bigger ones out of there, but this one was a dandy. Personally would of preferred to see C&R, but don't blame him for keeping it.
