Fave memory of 2011?

[corncob]

I fish a number of small lakes near Walker area....My highlight week was catching 3, 5lb plus bass on 3 different outings in one week....A big deal for me anyway.......

My best times of 2011 were very early in the season when I was able to get the girlfriend out on a some hot bites....now she's almost as hooked as I am, which means I will be able to get out next year more than I was this year.

carmike, do you ever wish the big river for smallies?...I been wanting to give it a try but it would be a new experience for me.

"Mine actually started the previous season but really took hold as my youngest boy (16) became severely hooked on bass fishing this year. Now he DVRs' all the fishing shows he can and spends what money he has on tackle'

When i was in BP in Springfield a while back; there was a dad with his sons' list ( Christmas list!!) looking thru plastics, and such. He is in the same situation! But he knew little about bass fishing! His 13 yr. old son was becoming hard core, and VERY speciffic about what he wanted. I told him that atleast he wasn't sitting on his rear playing video games!

My favorite memory was finally fishing Pelican Lake near Orr, MN. Spent a week up there in July. Probably fished 70 hours in 7 days. What a blast! Tons of LM & SM!

Mine was Sight fishing smallies this early summer. Tough to beat that IMHO.

When I caught the bass that broke me off 4 hours later and got my jig back!

i'd love to do that sometime. i've been up there 7 times for day trips but it usually takes me most of a day to narrow em down. 7 days in a row would be awesome!

Grizilla,

Yup, I fish the Miss a lot. Didn't have a great year there, frankly, as the water was too high for my liking (and my spots). Hopefully my 2012 memory will be of a big smallie, though!
