I’m a gonna be - that guy - today.

Had an epic battle with a big blue, I’m gonna conservatively guess him at 25. Wrassled with him about 15 minutes, kept him out of the other lines. Tried 3-4 times to net him, but too long for my little net. Every time I’d try to pick up, he’d thrash and slide back out. Last time hook caught in the net and he pulled off. As long as I get my bait back I consider it a win - but would have liked to got a picture

WTG Jeff! Glad to see your on the lake.

I’m glad you played hooky for me today, cuz I sure didn’t want to go. Those are good lookin fish and even better knowing they got to be dinner. Id have run from a storm like that too. Pulling cranks will get those big whisker trout. First day I tried it I got three that would have totaled about what yours was. They’re one heck of a tussle.

Much better timing than myself! I'd be in the middle of the lake or far away from the ramp!

I got completely caught off guard last time I went. Before I could get everything reeled in, had lightning popping all around, too close. I bought a lightning tracker app for my phone and pay attention to it now.
I was about 6-7 miles from the ramp today, looked at all the info and said nah not today!

Looks fun to me . My job is much easier to navigate than most . I just say I will be late or I won’t be there or if all else fails take a very long lunch break
Congrats and Kaboom

One day I put out some brushpiles and went home and made a post. But didn't feel well later that day and called in for my evening shift. I really didn't feel well that evening but the next day, right by the timeclock, my boss posted a big picture of me on the lake the day I called in sick!

We have called in sick a few times when the fish were biting. I remember when the base commander was calling my home the day I was supposed to be home sick. I was the Base Captain of the base personnel offices. My wife had to tell him I was at the doctor's and would call as soon as possible. She called me on my phone and said all heck is breaking loose and to call in and get there asap. It was 9/11 and Jets were crashing into New York City. I was on the lake fishing.
