Aniversary Float

[Smalliebigs]

I celebrated my 13th year of marriage to my wife with a quick float trip. I say quick because we dropped our daughter off at school at 8:30am and had to pick her up from the after care program and take her to dance class by 6:00pm. We didn't  even get on the water until 11 and we're home by 5:25.

I guess  I just lucked out as it was one of those Al Agnew sort of days. I caught 43 fish in the time I fished and all were from 14 to 18 inches with only one really small dink....it was nuts!!!

I was getting cocky and horsed a definite 20+ Smallie to the canoe and pulled Aaron Martens right out of it's mouth...my bad . My wife got to the point where she refused  to take anymore pics and said I was being a dork. It was our Aniversary  and I had to pay some attention to her so I quit fishing  for the last two miles, which was very painful.

I'm really not sure why the fishing  was soo good?? As I just didn't  expect much with the Bluebird sky and post cold front but I was just absolutely  wrong.

We enjoyed two bottles of Moet White Star Champagne and the weather was glorious as well the fishing  was sick??? Still baffles me....we did run into one other canoe and it turned out one of the guys is a forum member here.I ended up giving  them some baits and they seemed very happy :)....the Fall bite is in full swing for me I guess and it was nice to redeem myself  after almost cutting  my nose off in Hog Wally's boat. Sorry I had many other pics but the site wouldn't  allow me to upload them??

Well done Scott. You were due a good trip after your recent little adventure on Hog Wally's boat.

Looks like you're healing up nicely.  Good deal !

You're lucky. If I even mentioned "fishing" on anniversary day I'd be sewing MY face up.

Nice fish smalliebigs. Had a day like that on the Huzzah last Wednesday. Fished hard for 4 or so hours and caught 50 plus fish between two of us. Thanks for report.

You smallie catching guys are killing me.  Looks like an awesome trip.  Congrats on your 13th anniversary.  Finding the right lady can be tricky for guys that are really into fishing, hunting, etc.  Finding one that enjoys the outdoors as well is even rarer.  You have beaten the odds.  Congrats again.

Since it was an anniversary float...did you guys make a "Pit Stop" anywhere?

Some witnesses I heard saw a small shiner not normally seen around these parts.

I normally like to catch the minnows, but will have pass on this one  

Hopefully it wasn't a redspot chub .
