Leave it to you, Rev.  That is pretty funny and I have dragged many deer from deep canyons wishing I WOULD have practiced catch and release, but them steaks is dang tasty.
Just to add a couple of more - Liz with a hog spring fish

Nice sight fish

I had to laugh at that last picture of the deer.  Underneath it is the phrase "Catch and release - it's a beautiful thing"  HA!  That deer was wishing he was a bass!

The Bass fishing started well this year,


Friends even came along..

Then hunting season came and a trip to Montana


And Success!!

What a great year!

Let's see, a year in review.  Well got the new Nitro 911, which I LOVE.  What an awesome boat to fish out of.  Had a great ABA tourney with Carlos in the Cobra, that was a great time by the way Carlos.  Fished the BASS qualifiers and made the state team. Got launched from the Nitro in Sammamish and was without a boat for 3months  , got the boat back just in time to win the team tourney.  Go team Bronco. Had a great time fishing out of the back seat with Jessi P and Russ B at Chelan and Lower Columbia.  The finish for the year was awesome with Stu and I redeeming ourselves for last year's blunder at the frostbite and coming away with 800 bucks.  I met most of my fishing goals this year and look forward to next year's challenges.

Great pics everyone, especially Angie, Nice Cali fishies.
Nick, my bass was from Long lake in Kitsap.

Here are my favorite pics of 2007.

The first ones are the only time I REALLY got both kids out fishing and they had success - Memorial day at Sammamish:




And they had fun driving the boat:



AND FLYING at 40 mph!





As for fishing, I only fished two points tourneys and, well, not so good, but I had two good open tourney finishes:

Larry S and I took 5th at the Silver Lake Open in March. Here are all the fish we caught:



AND here is the biggie for my year. Mark M. and I redeemed ourselves at the Frostbite Open in November by taking 3rd. Here we are getting our check and smiling in the sun:






I look forward to another fun year in 2008!

Stu

Russ

Clear Lake CA -


my biggest fish ever


a good ending to 2007 a new boat 

Also settings on your digital cameras should be downsized to 640X480 so it will fit into the formatted frame....also cuts down on storage....Photobucket gives you a place to send folks should your files be too large or you are a Glory Hog like me!!!

Since this question comes up from time to time:

The reasons that we can't post pictures directly to the site are that we don't have a contract for the amount of space that we would need ( expensive $$$), we don't have anyone with the time and experience to handle the increased maintanance that allowing pics/attachments would require, and allowing pictures (specifically becasue they are attachments) puts the site at higher risk for viruses, hacking, etc.)

Stu

Stu,

Thanks for the help. I lost my last instructions on how to post pics.

Thanks,
Russ

i hear ya russ it kinda sucks that you have to trasfer pics from your pc to photobucket etc. to post them. 

troy

I am going to try out that photobucket.
