I Need a Job....

[Travis Smith]

I dont really want to get a job but if i run my taxidermy bill up any more i will need to get one.



Last night My Dad came home early from work and was going to take me fishing with my grandpa also for my birthday....well the smallmouth bite was slow and all we caught ere dinks untill i locked into WALTER a ginormis Northern Pike. I caght him on a blue fox inline spinner in 3 ft of water and got him up to the boat and my dad netted him...a 42 in 15.4 lb Northern Pike that i am the new proud owner of and is going on the wall...what a birthday..lol.







He does qualify for a master angler award too.

Good job on Mr. Toothy. Did you have a steel leader on? All I get for my birthday is socks and underwear.

Nothing like a big ol slimey pike! Great catch! You beat my personal best by half an inch and less than a pound!

Great Fish... And, a keeper!



And, as Jeff Foxworthy says; "You might be a redneck if you owe the Taxidermist more than one year's salary".

Man that's cool!! I've always wanted to catch something like a Pike or Muskie. We have some lakes with Walleye in them here in Oklahoma but I've only caught one of them and it wasn't very big.
