Let's hear about some of your "firsts" for 2017. Any first double digit bass, strange or funny catches, tournament wins, for example? One of mine is my first Texas smallie. (Texoma) I caught a few many years ago, on Rainy Lake, Ontario, but this was my first one in Texas. And a decent one, at that. Just shy of 3.5 on the boga's. I know... boring year for me.

First time to get on a school and hammer 2-5lbers for about 10-15 minutes nonstop. Was awesome, can't wait for the next jaw dropper.. 20+ pound bag of keepers would do it!

Fished Falcon for the first time, and it exceeded my dreams and expectations.
It's a magical place, and can't wait to go again.

Caught my first bass off of a Kayak, looking for many more.

first time in 55 years that I have not fished continuously for the whole year. Getting old is a b t h. Operations are worse.
Merry Christmas to all.

Caught my new PB on a weightless fluke 7.89lbs. It was the first fluke fish I've caught over 5 lbs.
Bought a kayak and caught my first bass from it this summer
Finally learned the wacky rig and caught my first fish and several more on it this year

Didn't have any fishing firsts this year, but I did get to watch my Stros win the World Series for the first time.

First year that I catalogued every bass, and photo'd at least one bass on every trip I took....I don't wanna jinx it, but I've kept the skunk outta the boat all year.
