An almost 24 inch long largemouth bass with a belly THAT big? Hey, I believe it!

 That's an awesome bass. My biggest yet was just over 24" and a 7 1/2 pounds, and I'm on my way to 49. Took me a lot longer to get there CONGRATS!! |

Skill? I thought fishing was about having kickass pink combos?  |

Age? Lucky hats? Skill? I though fishing success was all about permission to spend more money!

Persistence. You won't catch a fish if you don't have a line in the water!

| It's all about your lure being in the right place at the right time. Some achieve this through skill, some through persistence and some through luck. Still others are successful through a combination of all three. I am glad I can have fun trying to be in the right place at the right time |

Seriously, for me it's about loving every aspect of it. The hunt, the thrill of hooking up, the beautiful things you see out there, the crazy shit that happens that you can share with friends that love the same thing. The quiet evening with a buddy, or my kid just talking about life. Not ever knowing enough after doing it for most of my life. It just keeps me coming back for more. Plus fish are very accessible and tasty. You can put two people together, one with a lifetime of skill, and one with a new love for fishing and they will bond immediately over fishing. It's just too much fun!!

I'm pretty sure he caught it on the hopes and dreams of his old man, Mikey.
