Don't go there

I hooked this muskie the first night on our 2nd trip to the French River.
No the muskie is not bleeding out of his eyes and that is suncreen/bug spray on my face.
No smart ass comments please. Do you see the teeth on that beast?

the Wreckin Ball

AJ falling in the lake? No way...

Jon's Friend

Speaking of the Santee Copper trip. We were all getting ready to head out to fish when Jon had to go back to the cabin for something he forgot. So, he set his Coke on the dock and ran back to get the stuff. Well, this dog here wanted a drink of Jon's coke. Well, we felt sorry for the poor thing and let him drink right out of the can. We didn't GIVE the dog the drink, we just didn't stop him from slobbering all over the mouth of the can. The dog has his fill, Jon comes back, grabs the coke, hops in the boat and off we go.

Oops. We "forgot" to tell him about the dog until after he slammed the rest of the soda. Our bad.

The State Record Catfish...Almost

Bry as usual catching the wierd "fish" using un-normal weapons and tactics. Bry hooked up to this monster late at night on the Santee Cooper Lakes at BCT 9, 2002. We were fishing for cats in a canal between the lakes in moving water. He hooks into the beast and it doesn't come easy. It starts to go w/ the flow of the the water. He claims to feel it head shake ever-so-often. Well, we don't believe he has a fish, so we all take a turn. Sure enough! Its fighting back!

We all wonder what Bry is going to wear for the news interview that is sure to come from smashing the South Carolina Catfish record. After 20 minutes or so, I suggest we drag the fish to shallow water and try to fight him there and/or drag its butt to shore. Sounds like a plan...and it works! Its huge!


...for a tree branch. The moving water and the limbs rolling around made it feel like something fighting back. It was fun to dream...

Updates Coming Soon!
