New Personal Best:) - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Thanks guys! Fish of a lifetime. Siebler eat your heart out.

Maddox turned 3 in January. He was so stoked when I brought that fish home.

My goal was to always beat the 50# mark and after many years of fishing LJ, I finally did it

Glad you got it Matt. Was a fishy day, and await others to write in. As for me, should post a picture of myself w/ a pitchfork. 1st fish on was a T, second a WSB, w/ 3rd and 4th being good-size YT's. And why the pitchfork, CAUSE ITS USED ON THE @#$% FARM! After so many go outs of late w/out even a strike, I get to watch ol' friends land their units, and while finally pulling on some myself, have each and every one blow the hook - the last after some 20 minutes of fighting and just beyond color. You did the early victory paddle in, but note the bite continued until well after the middle of the day. Simply epic.

Congrats again, amigo!

One thing is for sure - that new kayak of yours is gold! You don't seem to get out there a lot, but every time you do - you friggen score!

Ouch Avery...

sorry to hear that

Nice fish, first over 50

for you?! That is hard to believe. Congrats!

DESTROYER · 03-05-2010, 01:13 PM

I can't get this Perma-grin off my face Chris. My 2 big ones from previous years were 40 and 45. When I wieghed it at Dana it was at 51 and not totally off the ground. I couldn't believe my eyes

gabe · 03-05-2010, 01:23 PM

Yeah, WTG Matt. Nice score. Sure makes launching in the early morning cold worth it

Congrats meng

Alright....I'll give you a congrats for that

.....at least the fish doesn't look like a deformed football this time.

GregAndrew · 03-05-2010, 08:47 PM

That last pic puts a whole new meaning to "sleeping with the fishes". Nice plate full of biscuit there.

FISHIONADO · 03-06-2010, 06:01 AM

Right on Matt! You've been deserving that fish for a long time.

THE DARKHORSE · 03-06-2010, 09:21 AM

The last thing you wanted to do was go straight to sixty pounds without ever breaking the fifty pound barrier.

And nice belly shot of your personal best WSB

The photo with your son is a classic, though.

Your money didn't go thru for the WCW...

Aren't you worried about your job, with all
the fishing you're doing?

Can't you raid the refrig at work? You're too old
to kayak fish.

Super fish! Any food shots?
