Looking back through my pictures it confirmed this has been the worst year I've had in at least 20.
I didn't fish less, but caught nothing that stands out , or that I thought was very memorable. This fish isn't special , except to me, as it was caught last Feb.  when it was at least 5 below and it and another one were photographed without getting the gills and eyes out of the water. Quick pic and quick release. If you're gonna release, might as well give a shot at doing it right.

Very nice!

Mine are old but hoping to get back in the swing soon!
