Here's my baby, '99 Javelin 19' with Evinrude 175 before I sold it in my old backyard in GA. and the boat I had before it, similar to yours, '94 Javelin 17' with Johnson 120 behind my old 2nd Gen Dodge....

 

Nice!! Do a smell a minn kota trolling motor? lol My dream would be a 22ft Triton with a 250 Yamaha VMax. That would be awesome, but tough to float in 6 inches of water for frog fishin. lol I don't have any pics of the boat or my ram. In the spring I will work on that. The saddest part is having to winterize her. She is black with flek though.

 

Let me tell you one thing, take it for what it's worth. I've caught 11 bass over 10 lbs. in my life, all in Ga.
One out of my 17' bass boat, one from the back of someone else's bass boat, one wading, two off the bank, six from my little $399 Bass/Hunter and 0 from my $22,000 bass boat...

 

Yes, yes indeed! But I am nearing 30 and don't want to be too old to enjoy life after the child turns 18! lol

 

You look younger than that in your pictures of you wheeling... I would have guessed early twenties. I am 19 and rachel is 18... married in two and a half years... kids when we are around 27. I will get pics up pretty soon, but the computer has been cleared for now cuz we have to send it in. Stupid virus! I cant type more than 5 words without having to click no on something.

 

I've thought about that myself, but I don't have much patience. My wife looks at all the positives of a baby. I think of all the negatives of popping out a screamer!...lol

 

Like I said... Dream boat. lol I have only gotten that one over 11, but that is huge around this area and I still have many years of fishin left. After all I am only 19. I have had many over 8 though. Great now I really miss fishin alot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

My father and I used to go to a small isolated pond not far from Albany. We had a little Jon boat and had to put on waiters to get this sucker into the water. We had to walk through 100yards of muck just to get to the water. We would use live bait and reel in 6-7 Smallmouth every time all within 3-4hours. Not one that we kept was smaller than 8lbs and not one was shorter than 14". These suckers were huge. Ever since goin fishin there, I have lost interest more and more. The waters around here are over fished and it seems the fish are non existent.
I did get a huge snapper though. Not a fun experience with it getting tangled up in the net. It had to weight 100lbs. Up here in NY, that's unheard of. It had arms the size of my wrists! It's claws were huge and it's head was the size of a fist all the way back to your elbow! Pretty scary being on the boat with that thing. I was ready to jump in the water...lol

 

I get that all the time! Heck I still get carded for alcohol except for at the local watering holes I frequent.


dirtydog- I've thought about that myself, but I don't have much patience. My wife looks at all the positives of a baby. I think of all the negatives of popping out a screamer!...lol


Yes, I am glad my lady has patience! She works at The Childrens Hospital of Denver so she is used to dealing with it! But once the child is older I will just have to pull out the old wooden whooping spoon to get those tears off there face. LOL

 

Boys, let me tell you, have 'em now! Biggest regret of my life is not having any. The ex wanted to have kids right away, but I talked her into waiting 10 years after we were married. I wanted to travel and enjoy life and build up a little cash in the bank first. She'd bring it up from time to time and I'd say "stick to the plan".
Well it was at about the 9 year mark we started having troubles, so at 10 years we were working to save the marriage and just get along. By year 11 divorce came.
If I had to do it all over again, I'd have had a couple right away. I might have still gotten divorced, but I'd have my youngin's...
