Dang speckdaddy, how can anyone top that other than saying with their kid. But You know your right. It can't be topped....But a close 2nd is watching you grand kids catching their first, second, eighth, 100th out of your boat in your favorite spot. Cool everytime.

Wow Dudes, this site is addictive.
I once got caught in a thunder boomer like trophytroutman, I beached my boat and hunkered down and made a small target. My ears hurt and my chest rattled - not an experience that I ever want to repeat. Lightening is no fun. I've had some fun trips with my kids but, grand kids are the greatest. I sent the picture of my grandaughter with her first redfish to the Louisiana Sportsman magazine and they published it. One excited little girl. One of my most memorable fishing trips happened not far from Pelican Point - I caught my 25 trout (all ~3 lbs) and 5 redfish all on topwater (This was about 10 years ago). I went catch and release for about a hour and then they turned off. I've never seen it like that again. The poor little mullet were in a meat grinder. Kinda like the sardine bait ball on Blue Planet. I could slow down my pulling in a fish and another one would try to take the bait out of the hooked fish's mouth. A red fish straightened one of my trebles so I stopped doing that. Not another boat in sight. Last edited by Gottogo49; 12-15-2009 at 08:40 AM. Reason: Couldn't attach grandaughter's picture |

Most memorable was my 7 year old son catching his first fish in Colorado, about an 8" brown trout on his Snoopy Zebco. Second most memorable was night fishing in Toledo Bend about in 1967 with my two older brothers and my Dad catching sac-a-lait. I never was so tired, scared, and excited.

My rather wealthy friend took me on a tuna trip many years ago. We left right at dark for a 90 mile run to a floating rig called Mars. Ripping 50 mph across the Gulf ,we got to the tuna grounds in a couple of hours. The tuna would have no part of the hardtails we caught on the way out but were tearing the flying fish up. They would rocket out of the water and nail the f/f in mid air. My buddy looked in his tackle box and found 2 big plastic f/f. When the tuna would start busting near the boat, we were sight casting at them. When we would 'stick' one, they would spool us time and time again.We were also catching flying fish with dip net and putting them on a hook. This insanity went on for a couple of hours. We ended with 8 100+ yellowfin and 16 blackfin tuna. I'll never forget being 90 miles out in GOM with the moonlight and the lights from the rig and tuna smashing everything that hit the surface. I hope to get to bring my 19 year son to experience this one day. I told him to train for one of these trips ,go out in the front yard and find a tree limb and hang by your right arm for 5 min. ,then switch hands and hang by your left arm for 5 min. When you can do that for 1 hour, you're ready to go tuna fishing....
