A very rare sighting.

The Finatic with a smile on his face!!

I finally found out what it takes to put a smile on the finatic's ugly mug, a red on the fly rod. Nice fish Jeff and that was one hell of a school of reds.

Thats where the story broke down right there :lol:




Wish I had been there instead of camped out where I was. Nice Jeff.

Nice Jeff.
I'd love to try a flyrod but a full face helmet is so uncomfortable in the heat. :shock:

Nice! I have a feeling fly fishing is coming up soon on my list of things to learn to do.

Yeah, I smile once in awhile!
The cool thing was watching that red take a gurgler off the surface!
Thanks for the pic Todd. That school of fish was awesome. I would of been a bit out gunned if I got that big red and/or big snook leading the pack on my light 7wt.

The fly rod and smile are clearly photoshopped.
