Great idea, WHB. I'm looking forward to what this might become. Most of my pics of the kids fishing and hunting predate cell phones, and would have to be scanned, but here are some recent pics of my success:

Last year's (2021) buck. Not my biggest, but my biggest in quite a few years.

A great day on the strip pits two summers ago. Probably my biggest crappie.

My "rig". I fish a couple of local lakes and my father-in-laws's strip pits when I can.

Those crappy are the size of bass

I have fished all my life and was an avid bowhunter until my shoulder issues. I haven't shot a deer in quite awhile, but fish 3-5 times a week, well except for now while I'm recovering from yet another shoulder surgery.

Now since I retired, I run my own guide service and get a lot of satisfaction watching others catch fish, hopefully catch fish, and taking my grands and passing on my love for the sport to them.

Awesome to help others and pass down to future generations!

Hopefully you can get back to fishing soon… good luck on the shoulder recovery… been there and it is no fun!

Thanks for posting!

Gotta love when one of those Fish Ohio "northern red fish" hit one of your lines like a freight train, sinks the board and it rockets across all of the other lines running out the back of the boat lol

Already posted a thread about Jeremy and Bryces turkey hunts. But here’s another pic of Bryce and his turkey.
