Fisherman's Bucket List

[Fins&butt4me]

Just like the popular movie where 2 middle aged men made a list of things they wanted to do before their demise. I think most fishermen have either a list of one or a couple of dream fish that they would like to catch someday. I was wandering what some of your bucket lists might contain???

-My list has 2 categories
FRESH- A 10lb plus (I have a 9.2lb) Largemouth Bass and a 7lb plus Smallmouth Bass (Have a 6.8lb) (Both Rare in East TN)

SALT- A 100 plus lb Tarpon (Will require some doing, I know)

[The Skink]

just to hold 1 record....state record Pompano or speckled trout. something like that
OH YA
I also promised myself 30+ years ago that I would live on a sailboat for the rest of my life. Just raise anchor and go where ever I want.

I could think of alot of goofy stuff to write...but thats for real
