I am with the Kid on this one...

I also love surface irons.

I haven't been out on the water lately with the new baby boy and all. But during naps and at night, I have found time in the last few months to rebuild my reels, all the while anticipating the day I get back out on the water.

Then a few days back, my wife told me to go fish. I spent the morning hours searching for some yellows on the surface and it payed off. The fish was only 26lbs, but it kicked my ass on the 90J.

Yeah, Darrin!

A man with not only a beautiful growing family, but a beautiful fish. Good job on the nine footer, too. I'm more impressed by the fact you coordinated the colors of your paddle, shoes and target species, though.

I guess I'm rubbing off on you after all .

Nice YT Darren! Congrats on the catch. I'm sure after bringing that fish home your wife and baby were stoked and are ready for you to go fishing again! . We took our little one camping this weekend for the first time. She loved it.

Saweeeet Darren! So stoked you got out there and nailed one on the jig stick no less!

I guess your wife has good "spider senses" next time she tells you, "you need to fish" give me a buzz!
