Finally retiring - Time for some serious fishing.

After over 4 decades of work, I will be retiring on Halloween. Time to start some serious fishing.

Now I just need to decide what to go after and what method to use.

To the club. Congratulations Barry !



Side Note: Retired eight years ago. Fish 3 to 5 times a week. Love it!

Thanks Chuck. Eight years of retirement sounds good.

Congrats on retiring Barry

Side note: nice tools of the trade

every day is Saturday...no more alarm clocks,.....and naps !

Congrats on retiring! I retired 7 years ago and get to fish maybe 3 times per month! You will enjoy it once you get used to not being in the routine you were in for 40 years.

Congratulations to you, Sir!!

Congratulations on your retirement. I am going on 4 years retired as of September 2nd, it's nice to do what you want, when and if you want to do it. You can pick the better weather days to fish, go get em.

Congratulations! I'm jealous

Naps is great. As for alarm clocks, is use them to start fishing.

Congrats , retirement is as great as you make it. Everyday you don't have a Dr's appointment is a potential day to fish or simply relax . Maybe start with some crappie fishing and proceed from there .

Congrats!

Congratulations!! 🎉🎉

Crappie fishing can be fun.

How big was that crappie?

The black crappie was 17” long and weighed 2 ounces short of 3 pounds. And I caught it without a reel.

Congrats and enjoy your retirement!

Here to a long and enjoyable retirement using all that tackle for all kinds of fishing.

Congrats on retirement.

Congrats Barry. That explains the ad I saw from TWPD hiring six new fishing record verification agents. (No record is safe if you haven't been fishing seriously yet!)

Ok, that made me laugh. I have achieved my TPWD record goals, so I will be trying to complete my world record goals now. But in the process, I have been picking up a few more state records. I do plan to fish more than I have been able to with work, so my guess is that there will be a few more records in my future.

I retired several years ago but still find my self checking in on the company. Hard to quit after 50+ years.

Congratulations. Enjoy retirement and fishing.

Retirement is like dessert; God saved the Best for Last 👍🙏🏻🎣

Well, have you adjusted to the retired life yet??

I have been working on a fishing goal, so I haven’t had much time to think about retirement. I have fished over 30 days in a row, but I did that sometimes before retirement.

It is nice not having to think about work.

WOW, that is a “MONSTER” crappie 👍👍👍
