Best day ever...

Yesterday I fished the Griffin Slabfest and won. Took 6.5 hours to catch 5 legal fish the day after a 26 degree cold front came through. What a difference a day is.

Today I took mom out for a boat ride. I bought one 14ft jigging pole with.

She told me exactly where the fish were.

I put on a Shinee Hinee and we were off to the races.

We caught 5 nice ones in less than 45 minutes. Shoulda taken mom with yesterday!

Best day ever. Got mom out on the boat, and we caught our Slabfest limit in 45 minutes. What more can one ask for.

She's funny. First off, she never thought she'd go out on the boat again, and now she's in front of me saying "we go once more". She says this time she won't take her water pill in the morning. We had to come in so soon cause of, well, you know why.

Life is good.

Great times for sure!....Maw Maw can go with me next time!

She charges a lot for guiding like this though, just sayin'. But at least it come with potato salad!

A great day don't get any better than that

Good on you...before my mom passed, it was great to take her fishing. Just as she did when I was young.

Good potato salad, pretty nice sized fish and taking Mom fishing on a day like today, something to truly be thankful for.--shu

It had to be a great just having mom go and winning

AMEN

What an awesome story. Thank You

Thanks for sharing! Those memories will last forever. I wish my 91 year old Mom could go with me!

Thanks for sharing...............sure does bring back memories...........
Wish i would have spent more time with my parents - so much, much like the song.
When the time came it was toooooo late........age & memory had taken their toll.

I put one of those Black Crappie on the deck of the boat and took some close ups.

Pretty fish. Not sure how this turned out.

Eh, the resizing software on the site did not like the transparency in the gif. Oh well. Still a pretty fish.

Great times for sure, now we know why you won - momma showed you where the fish were !!:biggrin

I like the look on my Mom's face when I bring her fish. I would love to see her have one on the hook but as it was said earlier, ole father time has happened. Slab, those pics are priceless! Congrats.
