BilletHead Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Decided to make a quick trip to a pond this morning. Wanted to beat the wind but it did not happen as it had started to blow briskly. We both tied on sliders and began to work the edges. Stripping along the surface making a wake or stripping fast getting the slider riding a foot or more deep pausing frequently to let it float up with a wiggle. Mrs. BilletHead caught the largest as she does most of the time. She also caught a hybrid bluegill who bit off more than he could chew. Fun times together again. How lucky can a guy get? Took some shots to share. Excuse us for the way we do that. I also did one shot for the ones who don't want a fly rod of the fish out of the water photo. Forgive us a s fisherman for setting the hook piercing the fish lips and yanking the fish head from side to side fighting him. At least I did not ski the fish across the water getting them air born into a boat to be flopped around, measured, pitched into a live well, transported to a weigh in. I actually think I stressed the fish more fiddling to get it right to take the picture that I would of lifting him up and snapping a quick one in the hand. Sometimes I think we go too far in our feelings on how we treat our quarry. I could of put them on a stringer and took them out to supper? They were lucky today we were not fish hungry .

DaddyO Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Pictures with goats.... Sounds like political blackmail.. Nice fish. Nice pics. Jealous of the pond access. Chris Barclay 1 DaddyO We all make decisions; but, in the end, our decisions make us.
