took awhile to catch good bait, but started fishing around 12:30, fished till 3pm. water temp 63. got three bites, caught three fish . all small 23 in. two came on down lines about 20 ft, and one on a light line planer at ten ft. this may very well be my last post for long time. it takes too much out of my ole dog, and i dont have anyone to look after her if i would go by myself, so i think iam done fishing while i still have her.

Thought I had just about retired from the site, but your post touched me and had to respond. My hats of to you sir. Anyone who has a dog as a best friend understands your loyalty to him and what you are going through. No doubt, you are a good man with a good heart. Hope to meet you one day.
Glad you got a few......

mward, the tales of bigun's existence over the years are legendary. Some folks believe he has never existed  .......BUT... by chance, I did meet him. Ran into him in a bar in Arizona one time. Good guy and great story teller!!!!! He asked me a question that night many years ago, that I am yet to answer. Who would you rather have in a foxhole with ya??? a guy with balls or guts??? I'm guessing both..... |

Good report dog! Definitely spend all the time ya can with them. Our dog of 16yrs died last month. I was 12yrs old when we got it so I don't even remember life without it. It was just like we lost a family member but we were truly blessed to have had it for 16yrs. They are no doubt man's best friend. One day I'll get another one when the time is right.

Dog I am glad to see you got into some fish, I know every time Ive talked to ya on the water your dog has been with you. Hate to hear she aint doing well. Hope you continue to stay a part of the board even though you may not be fishing. As for meet and greet location, they were just getting settled in last year but Travis's crib would be a awesome spot.....  |

Dog, glad to hear you put some fish in the boat. Hate to hear that your pup is not doing well. I do not look forward to that myself. My dog is family. Has been for ten years and always will be. Bent, sorry you lost yours. Look forward to the 2014 M&G.

thanks for all the reply's and concerns. bentrod, i am truly sorry to hear of the loss of your dog.mine is 14, and has been with me since the day she was born, she is the only REAL family i have. i also feel that i have been blessed to be her care giver and best friend.life sure has been a struggle since i went on disability 6 years ago, but it also has given me every day and night with my girl.yes they are family for sure, she is like daddy's girl. 12 years ago i got a tattoo of her, she does mean the world to me, and i will continue to do whatever i can to keep her well, and happy. i will still throw in my two cents once in awhile, and a big thank you to all, this form has been very helpful in teaching this ole wv. man on catching strippers. there are a bunch of good folks here, i am glad i stopped in.
