Hal emailed some old photos, and I do mean old, of when we went to the Keys each year. When not too much fishing is going on here it’s fun to look at some photos taken when you were in college.The first one is of me holding a nice bonefish caught wading on the South side of Grassy Key behind the chicken farm. We would wade pulling a minnow bucket with shrimp for bait and casting to visible fish. Bonefish, permit (Hal caught one), tarpon (we saw some but caught none wading), barracuda, and an occasional shark were the creatures we saw there.

Who is that young guy?  We would also cast from the bank at night around the bridges with a Pfluger mustang or a Creen Chub Pikie Minnow. We caught a few Tarpon and this nice snook.

We also got to go out trolling once or twice and caught  a bull dolphin.

Here is Hal back at home with a 4 1/4 that was the large fish champion for a few years. It gave the 4 1/4 pound bass blewhole its name.

I do not know where this group of fish came from but it is impressive. Edit: They came from our trip to the 87 pound treeline.

This one is of a young Hal with some bass.

The last one is of a young Harley with an early season bass (note the lack of a tan) taken on Lake Ferguson at Walcott’s Dock.

My, how time flies when you’re having fun.
