My Current top 3, in no particular order...
1st - My personal best Largemouth. Caught her on my 20th birthday, at about 8:00am. I know that because I called home and woke up my parents to tell them. Wish we had gotten a better picture, because she was a beautiful fish, Dark green, with a great black stripe on her side. Exactly what you picture when you think of a big Largemouth.
2nd - Lake Lanier at about 7:00am I was out bank walking, turned the corner heading out to my favorite point, and the picture was just there. A little smoke on the water, and the sun coming up through those clouds. Made this amateur photographer with his point and shoot digi-cam look real good.
3rd - An oldie I found here at the house and scanned. From a summer probably 24 years ago in Door County Wisconsin. That's my dad with the fish, a nice Chinook Salmon, and my uncle in the back ground. The two of them are as responsible for my fishing habit (addiction?) as any. Yours truly is the one next to the fish.

1. My son and I on a fishing trip with GON writer and photographer Don Baldwin to do a article on Lanier summer striper trolling. My son had just returned from his 3rd combat trip to Iraq.
2. My wife and I on a recent tournament trip to Lake Guntersville. We took first place for the weekend in a 3 segment, 3 fish limit. My wife caught the 3 fish in the pic on the final day to seal the deal and win the tourney for total weight for the weekend.
3. My dad and a good friend on a 3 day offshore trip out of San Diego, California. Lost them both but we had some fun fishing trips together.

Great place Swansea. Just around the corner from the most beautiful place on earth with good fishing - The Gower Peninsula.

I know it said 3 but I'm sorry I could not choose just 3.
My nephew at four years old. The first trip I told him I was not helping him at all. If he did not take his fish off the worm hook he would not be able to catch another. It took a while but you can see he got the hang of it. (2 pictures)
2 eight pound bass caught in a night tourney on Sinclair and my first ever 5 fish limit over 20lbs. (my old Stratos)
My first 10lb+ bass
My Wall of Fame to include my first, 1st play win as a co-angler.

Man I want one of those goliath grouper.
Here are my 3.
The last time I got to fish with my dad and my grandfather, also my first time on Lanier.
First OWL where we put our guest on the fish of a lifetime, we're still waiting to see how the mount turned out for him.
And putting my buddy on his largest fish ever during my One Grand Summer project this past summer, which will be repeated again this year.

...just joking, seriously.
I've never fished competitively like some here on the Forum, nor do I have hundreds of pictures or lifelong experiences, but have always enjoyed a love for the game. I got really hooked on the inshore fishing in the early 2000s.
One of my favorite pics and memories of my relatively small fishing career is back when a serious turkey hunter took a weekend off from chasing birds to go to Panama City Beach and fish with the big boys for Cobia ( out of my 60 horse 17 footer). I was met with success and still remember the numerous high-fives on the boat and the bumpy ride back to the inlet from sitting on a hot cobe sticking halfway out of the seat cooler. You can tell in this photo I am trying to take the bend out of it!
And what better excuse is there than that to be sitting two or three hundred yards off the beach with binoculars watching the surf for fish amongst the floating patches of seaweed? I renamed my favorite spot Panama #ity Beach! I am hoping to have a condo with a dock on Grand Lagoon in a few years...
The second picture is 'PJ' the red fish, caught on 10 pound line and leader with a pompano jig tipped with gulp while power drifting in the surf along the mouth of Crooked Island Sound ( between Panama City Beach and Mexico Beach). As soon as he was hooked, my brother stuck the skeg of his boat in the sandbar and the boat turned toward the beach in two foot surf. The fish nearly spooled me 3 times before my brother backed his boat out against the waves and we were finally able to net the fish. 26 7/8".
The last pic is a snook photo of my memorable trip to Charlotte Harbor in January of 2016. While I was getting my feet sunburned on the boat and enjoying fishing docks at night, georgia was having a pretty good ice storm up here in my home area. Even though we were blown off the water 3 days and did not catch any fish on another cold front day, we (2 guys) caught well over a hundred fish that trip, not including the trash.
