my fish log (fresh water) from 1974-2009

[bunkerbuster]

broke my back 5 years ago and lose balance easy these days so don't get out much but I found my old log book from when I was 15 , finally did a tally and it'll make you youngsters sick..during that time I got 15,234 trout,8044 smallmouth,3759 pike,1043 walleye,5679 lmbass' didn't count crappie or perch...wish I kept a good log of salt but I was usually too bushed...spent days and years finding holes and paying attention to weather..things change all the time so if you can log it and find a pattern on familiar waters you will be rewarded, if you spend your time on the water observing you can make trips productive,,keep a log, date weather, water temp and so forth..you will catch a lot...
