This is part of my quest to catch 100 different fish. I am up to 91 and have 9 more to go. You only live once and you don't know how long that is. How do you want to live your life? Do you want to get old and say I wish I would have or say I remember when?

This was my first steelhead ever on my first steelhead trip ever 20lbs.

More Pictures 6.1lb smallmouth my 3rd time ever smallmouth fishing.

Good for you, I can't even name 100 different fish.

This was a 12.5lb. out of Toledo Bend


This was a 140lb. Tarpon I caught on a flipping stick to see if it could be done.

Very nice. My goal is to catch 100 smallmouths as big as the one in your picture. I only have 100 to go!

Pretty sure I am way over a hundred. Growing up in Panama City Fla spent all of my time fishing the bays the gulf and everywhere in between. Caught dang near every southern freshwater fish including a few few have ever heard of. Exotic darters and pigmy sunfish for native aquariums. Technically netted but caught. I'll try and make a count.

Great goal to have! Why stop at 100?

Coolest post in a while ,
Add a couple 2 lb crappie and you about got em whooped

Awesome post....go get em!

I would that by now I've caught over 100 different species of fish, but maybe I haven't. Now you've got me making a list to see where I stand!

Let us know when you hit 100!

*edit* Yeah, I've had at least 100, but I had to include alot of catches that I wasn't particularly proud of.

You know I have caught some big crappie of both kind in Sam Rayburn and Lake Kurth. I don't know why I don't have any pictures. I want #100 to be a blue fin tuna at Prince Edward Island. Why not go after 150 after that? I would like to catch one of those California Sheephead.

Nice work. A+++

That shark pull photo sure looks painful! Nice job on the catches!
