Congratulations!!! I know what you are talking about, making you smile!!! That is one time when size doesn't matter. My first trip out with some of the flies that I tied, I caught a few small ones, but I was happier than I would have been if I had caught a limit of keepers on any other tackle. Very satisfying and enjoyable. Redbeard |

Great catch!!! I know it is exciting to catch something on a bait or lure that you have come up with. Keep up the good work.

Awesome Fish! We threw everything we had at them bluegill that morning and they wouldn't touch anything..lost a couple fish at the far edge of the beds but that was it!
