Highlights of this 2013 year to date

[MuskieBait]

Highlight of the year are not really so much about the fish or big fish...but more about when and where I fished...

Tamiami Canal teasing countless Florida Gar as 2013 first new species...

Florida Keys getting cut off by sharks within 2 seconds of hooking up...and fishing/sleeping all night on that bridge...like fishing in an aquarium...

Virginia fishing in little swamps for Chain Pickerel and then Potomac for Hickory Shad...driving home in a blizzard...

Suicide Pool first KO'ing a steelhead within 10 seconds...and then pulling out 11 steelhead from Suicide Pool a few days later...

Illinois catching gar on the fly in Garvana...and then the little gin clear stream for ample micros...

And 43 new species so far...enough said...and next Saturday I'll be waking up somewhere else fishing for something else for a week...
