I had a crank bait allready rigged, made my first cast and had a big hit i'm fighting and cranking i holler at her to go get the net i had left in the trunk she promply fetches the net im still fighting when she gets back i nearly have it in. pole in one hand net in the other i bend down and net my fish, to my suprise its not a fish i had caught but a huge log. boy did i look cool i musta made a good impression though.

That sure brings back memories. When I was a kid my Dad had a deal with us boys. If we passed everything that six weeks he would let us stay a day out of school and do pretty much what we wanted. I always wanted to go fishing. Well one day while were fishing under 103 Bridge on Lake Sam Rayburn I hooked me something that was huge. I was telling my Dad to get the net and everything. I knew I had a fish because my line kept going side to side and it was BIG. Well when I got it to the boat it was huge. A huge stick that was only going side to side because it was long lol. My Dad did grab something, he grabbed the camera (After he nearly fell in the bottom of the boat laughing) and took a pic of me and my HUGE stick fish.
