Smile A fantastic start to 2013

Hello all,

Just thought I would share my fishing story.....

I went fishing for the first time this season tonight, I don't fish the hardwater so it's always nice to see spring return and the ice to leave. Was fishing at a stocked trout pond and there wasn't much happening until I tied into a good rainbow...was really awesome to connect with a good fish the first time out! Came in at 25'' and 5.25 pounds, big enough to make me happy....also big enough to make me nervous since I forgot my net. Have a great season everybody!

Thanks guys!

Have not ate it yet, but I'm sure it will be good on the BBQ..... Was a interesting experience , I use a light Quantum rod/Shimano Sienna reel/4lb Stren Super Knot and didn't want to push the limits but it all comes together sometimes.
