Favorite Fish of 2014?

[Cbad Mike]

I purposely waited till the last minute before I contributed to this post hoping that I'd have a picture to share but seeing how the wind is howling so bad on this last day of the year that it caused a giant tree branch to fall on my truck, I'd have to sadly say that my 2014 season is definitely over.

My favorite fish of 2014 is the one that I had in my head every time I slid my kayak up onto my truck.
It was that thought consuming trophy that kept me awake all of those nights before I went fishing and kept me out on the water long past becoming exhausted.
It was that fish that some how made it seem like a perfectly good idea to bob around on a piece of plastic a mile off the coast in the darkness of the middle of the night alone.
2014 is over and my favorite fish is still out there, I know it. I can feel it.
And I'll catch it next time.


Happy New Year everyone!
Mike
