My 2015 fishing season was outstanding, and not because of the fishing. It was awesome, because, of the new and old friends I had the honor of sharing the water with. Lots of good times, fish, beers, and laughs. I just want to send out a big "Thank You" to all who made time spent on the water fun.
Looking forward to our trips in 2016, dude!

Kurt chillen with Sean on the oars. I'm rowing next time! |
Hunting musky with Mike until Midnight was an awesome experience. There were no fish caught, but I learned that musky lures can fly into trees and never be returned. I haven't forgotten about you, Mike! I'm still on the hunt for that lure! Haha. Read all about that night here - We're Huntin' Musky.

BBQ at my place this winter when the lake freezes over!

Kevin and Keith in the S'canoe. Such a great water craft! |
DanK and I always know how to have a good time. This was a particularly fun day fishing Popar Creek and the lake behind my house, where DanK put on a clinic, hooking up with some monster bass. Click here to see the old post - Creek Time.

CARF and DanK doubled up on smallies. |
WCF Des Plains River outing. What an awesome time on some local water with a whole bunch of guys from the forum. DanK, Marcus, Keith, Todd, Piker Mike, Joe, Sully, Zach, John, Dan P, Saul, and SkiFish...It was great meeting all of those I have not met before, and always good to fish with the guys that I have. Looking forward to next years float! Check out the old post and video here - WCF DPR Floatilla.

The after float BBQ. |
Keith and I with a DPR double. This was a fun float that I cannot remember if I wrote about or not, and if I did, I don't know where it is. Haha. Good times, man!

Keith is a DPR monster slayer! |
Shout out to Adam aka The Slaunch Mob aka WindyCityFlyFishing. Glad you've jumped on board with fly fishing, and I'm looking forward to more outings with you, hopefully, there's fish involved, too! haha Click here for the post - Fly Fishing with The Slaunch Mob.
Another shout out to DanK. Unexplored water on the Kishwaukee River is awaiting us. That float was an absolute blast, and I cannot wait to explore more of that river when you get your new kayak! Here's the post - Fish Da Kish.
Oh, and I want to wish you a speedy recovery with your achilles tendon! If you're not fully healed by Spring, I will carry you to your kayak, homie! I got you! haha

Another CARF and DanK smallie double! |
Last but not least, a shout out to the one and only, The Fat Gordo. Let's keep it gangsta in 2016!

Another big "THANK YOU" to all of you who I shared the water with this year, and making my 2015 season as awesome as it was!
**I apologize if I left you off of here, and I hope you call me out for it!**
