Congrats!

I'm almost in the same boat, haven't landed a fish for 3 months now. Seen 5 others go in the boat but not by me. Hopefully persistence will pay off for me soon!

Nice work dude - great looking fish too! I love those short chunky ones. You got the monkey off your back, now go get #2!

I know the feeling I finally caught a fish over 40 this fall after 3 years of trying. They say the first one is the hardest, it must be true since three casts later I caught another 'ski... Hope you second comes quicker than the first, too.

Sounds very familiar. It was a little longer for me to get my first but its all worth it when you finally connect. Great job, nice fish.

thanks guys. i didnt sleep very well last night i wanted to go back out to the lake and fish all night. last night was a good night. 5 minutes after i got that one i looked over to my buddys boat and those two were dancing around the boat. it was also his frist ski his was 50" those fish sure get thick this time of the year. i told him i was happy for him but i hd a better chance at beating my PB:) i cant wait for this weekend. i am fishing with Tim Anderson i am pumped.
