Last year I aimed for a 30lb bag on Clear Lake and a 10lber on video. We made 29lbs in the ABA, but didn't quite crack the 30lb mark. Twice we hooked the fish to do it but they escaped :)
Fishing with my older son Derek, we landed a 9lb 15.5oz bass on video (couldn't make it up if I tried). Don't need the video to remember the moment. We fished for 30 minutes that day and got the one bite, it was a cool deal.
So with no goals accomplished but still a fun year, here we are in 2014. My goals this year are to find a sweet spot to catch bluegill or crappie with the kids. Go bowfishing at night and actually hit a fish with an arrow. Catch a 6lb bass somewhere (hey it's Louisiana) And carve the time to go fishing with old friends and new ones.

The years are going by faster and faster! its crazy. I encourage everyone whose been talking about doing something great for years to make it happen this year. Time is going by fast!
Last years goals: A 10+ LMB in middle america A 20lb+ Masheer A gounch on rod and reel!
1 - ha. I fished middle america twice last year for a total of one gar and one bowfin, and some crappies.
2 I did get one 10+ mahseer and one about 9 on a triple trout which was awesome. Probly the first ever Mahseer caught on a swimbait. They dont get used in the Himalayas much :)
3. Tried for a few hours, but they are elisive. Maybe this year.

I'm boycotting posting my goals on Calfishing as I have basically had the same goal of a 10+ every year with no result. So nope, I wont even make it a goal, you hear that fishing gods I'm NOT trying to catch a double digit bass this year. Nope, not trying.
