Default Wow...this has taken SO long...SPRINGER!!!

Ok, funny story. I don't have a digital camera. I don't have a scanner. So, I keep my mouth shut mostly about how I can catch fish, except when it's really special, then I just trust that the good folks at I fish will believe me. Well, I figured out how to do this, with a scanner, at my parents house. This was about 2 weeks back, at the coast, in the POURING rain, with a buddy. I love fishing, so, so, so much, and I can't tell you how gosh darn good it feels to be able to FINALLY post a picture. Thank you all for bearing with my inordinate enthusiasm. Here she is, in all her 22#'s of glory:

Nice fish Louis. I caught my first springer (out my boat) last week. Let me know when you want to go fishing again.
