What an exciting way to end the day! This 8 yr old boy scored big on his last cast of the day on Lake Austin. His dad and I were going nuts when he got the fish on-board. The kid was repeatedly yelling, "I AM THE CHAMPION!" It was absolutely priceless. We were all a bit bummed after losing one that was bigger than this one just a few minutes earlier, but getting this one in the boat was redemption. The dad called me about 45 minutes after we left the lake and said, "My boy is still so excited, and on Cloud 9. It's like he ate a 5LB bag of sugar." We released the fish, and the dad wants to buy a replica of his son's catch. As a guide, the gratification from making this kid so happy (and his father so proud) is immeasurable.

Cowboysfan008: Yes, I do guide. The link to my official website is in my signature line below. (Ryan Wags Fishing) My official site also has a direct link to my facebook page, which is also called Ryan Wags Fishing.
In addition to L. Austin, I am on the water nearly everyday at other Central Texas lakes including Bastrop, and Fayette. I recently bought a house literally a few hundred yards away from Lake McQueeney, and lived a few hundred yards away from Lake Dunlap in New Braunfels for 16 years. I also guide on these Guadalupe River Lakes. I have been fishing all of these places for over 20 years, and don't think I have ever gone longer than a week without fishing. I absolutely love what I do, and would love to have you on-board some time. Holler, if I can help...... I'm about to hit the water this morning!

Good job Ryan and congrats to the young man for landing that fish. We know all about the excitement for that PB nothing better. Looking to come down when the heat lightens up a little within the month hopefully, give ya a shout when I do.
