Welcome Alicia ! Nice fish by the way ! As KDOG said, you and your B/F should come up to the OPEN on May.22-23. It's incredibly fun and very well put together. There's a huge raffle, good people and lots of great things to learn. Oh, and about your tube question, you should buy a kickboat!}( They're the sickest way to fish a personnal watercraft in my opinion. You can find a really good one now a days for about $250 - $300 or so. Try looking at the floattubestore.com to see the broad array of boats they have just to give you an idea. Good luck and good fishin'.
