I have tuna envy.
Best I did this year was 2 rays and a baby dogfish shark. No pics. Just a sunburn and a smile.
That's an awesome haul.

Thanks! Not every trip is like that sometimes your the fire hydrant and others you’re the dog. I dedicate a lot of time and resources to tuna fishing and it’s great when I get a good return. There’s a lot of sleepless days, sketchy night runs under no ambient light, and pouring over satellite shots, etc. but it’s all worth it even on “bad” days.
Was looking for one thing, found another. This was taken in 1993, when my son was 5. I had a reservation for one rod on Armstrong Spring Creek (for non-fly-fishers, it’s a spring creek on private land, full of wild rainbow and brown trout). Fly fishing only. I practically had to beg Mrs O’Hair, whose family established the ranch, to let my son fish a bit with his spinning rod. She finally relented with the admonition to “go down to the lower property boundary, and don’t let anybody else see you”.
He caught this one rainbow, wife and I were all excited for him. He was in the “OK, what’s next” frame of mind. Did I mention he was five . . .

I bought my daughter a new ultralight spincast set thinking it would be more fun for the small bluegill we saw the last place we fished. This afternoon she drove down and we went to my dads pond. She caught a nice thick scrappy bluegill that was being chased by a bass. She then caught four bass. My dad and I were fishing with the same bait (red worms) but the bass were only hitting her bait.

Decent Crappie and a good enough Bass at work while waiting for my next flight. Started tying my own flies and found some foam in my kids trash can that turned into some grasshoppers waiting for summer. @flyrodr @ASH556
