Goals: Considering I will get on the water only 2-3 times a month all spring, and same with fall. I have to be realistic in my goal setting. But still, I believe in setting high goals. First and foremost, I'd like to catch another bass over 14 lbs, which got away this summer. twice. Two different fish. Secondly, I want to catch as many as possible over 7 lbs. I want a 4+ lb Redeye bass, a 6+ lb spotted bass, a 6+ smallmouth bass.

Overall, I just want to keep spending as much time on the water as possible, and increasing the productivity and the frequency of landing big bass. My 30th fish over 7 lbs was just as exciting as my first. It stays consistent my excitement for bigger fish. And thats awesome.

Can't wait for a great 2005.
