MY SON DAWSON

SPENT ALL DAY YESTERDAY WITH MY SON DAWSON, WE WENT TO FRYING PAN TO LOOK FOR SOME SWAN THAT MIGHT BE IN THE WHEAT FIELDS, BUT NO LUCK. SO I DECIDED TO TAKE DAWSON TO GUM NECK TO MY GRANDFATHERS HOME PLACE. HE TOLD ME HE HAD NEVER BEEN. IT WAS A REAL COOL EXPERIENCE SEEING HIM TELL MY GRANDFATHER WHERE HE HAD BEEN WHEN WE GOT HOME.

WORKING HARD FOR IT

WE HAD A GREAT TRIP SATURDAY WITH THE BATEMAN CREW. WE HAD TO WORK EXTRA HARD JUST TO GET A BITE. WE FISHED THE ENTIRE SOUND WITH ONLY 2 FISH BEING CAUGHT, BUT WE HAD A GREAT TIME DOING IT. THANKS GUYS AND LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING TOGETHER ON THAT DUCK TRIP FOR NEXT YEAR.

SNOW, SNOW, SNOW

IT WAS COLD AND SNOWING LIKE CRAZY YESTERDAY, THOUGHT I WOULD ADD SOME PHOTOS.

I LOST MY CELL PHONE

WELL AS COLD AS IT WAS THIS WEEKEND IT WASNT A GOOD IDEA TO DROP MY CELL OVERBOARD, BUT I DID. THEN I STUCK MY ARM IN THE WATER AND FOUND IT. DUAH, COLD AS HELL!!!!! SO THEN WE TOOK IT AND LAID IT ON THE HEATER AND MELTED IT. DUMB AS HELL!!!! ANYWAY IF I HAD YOUR NUMBER I DONT NOW. SO PLEASE SHOOT ME AN EMAIL WITH IT ON THERE SO I CAN PUT IT BACK INTO MY PHONE!! THANKS GUYS :-)

GREAT TIME WITH THE CREW

WELL THE GUYS HEADED OUT THIS WEEKEND FOR A TRIP TO THE CABIN AND PLENTY OF SHELLS. LEFT OUT THAT MORNING WITH HIGH HOPES DUE TO THE FRIGID WEATHER. ONE DRAKE PINTAIL AND ONE DRAKE WIEGON. THERE WAS PLENTY OF GOOD TIMES AND GREAT STORIES AS WELL. THANKS TO WILL, SCOTT, DAVID, JON, BRANDON, AND TANNER FOR THE GREAT WEEKEND. WE ATE GOOD AND SLEPT EVEN BETTER.

THE BIG BOY

HERE IS MY GRANDAD, THE ORINGINAL OLD SALT THAT PASSED THE "FORCE" DOWN TO MY FATHER, THAN TO ME. HE ALWAYS CATCHES THE BIGGEST ONE OUT OF ALL OF US WHEN WE ARE FISHING TOGETHER. IT WAS WORTH EVERY MINUTE OF IT WATCHING HIM BRING IT IN. CONGRATS ON THE TROPHY.

WHAT A FANTASTIC DAY

WENT OUT SUNDAY MORNING. THE WEATHER WAS KINDA CRAPPY, BUT THE WATER WAS DEAD CALM. HAD MY LIMIT WITH THE CREW I MANAGED TO PUT TOGETHER IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES (NEIGHBORS). NICE FISH INCLUDING ONE THAT WAS AROUND 26" 10LBS. BAIT MARKS WERE EVERYWHERE, AND THE FISH WERE BITING HARD.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

WISHING EVERYONE A HAPPY NEW YEAR AND MUCH SUCCESS IN 2009!
