Surprised ? |
|
The first fish of 2006 ... Joe accidently came across this bullhead while tripping over his pole. |
|

|
The First MOAB? |
|
This was the first MOAB, but it was soon surpassed by many others more deserving of the name. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What the ? |
|
Hey Keith caught a fish. Proving even a blind squirrel can find a nut once in awhile. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hmmm ? |
|
Blaine deciding if he should throw this fish back or have another beer first ? |
|
|
|
|

|
|
Fish or Whale ? |
|

Chilly ? |
|
Joe was it cold that night ? Maybe we should play some basketball to warm-up. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The gangs all here. |
|
Drink a 30 pack...and soon everyone wants their picture taken with the fish. How many hooks were in that fish anyway ? |
|
|
|

|
|
MOAB Worthy ? |
