OPINIONS
Since some of our editorial content this month deals with ponds and stock tanks, we asked our Facebook friends and some TSCRA staff members to share their favorite fi shing memories.

What’s Your Favorite Fishing Story?
Chad Harlow: I was fi shing with my grandfather and my brother when I was about 4 or 5. I caught a fi sh and it just about pulled me into the water. My brother wanted to help me but my grandfather held him back so I could do it all on my own. I stopped trying to reel it and just ran up the bank, dragging the fi sh behind me. I miss those days of hunting down grasshoppers to use as bait. Nathan-Amanda Wise: I just took my 3 girls fi shing and would catch one and let them reel them in. My 2-year-old said no, she wasn’t going to reel it in. When I asked why, she said she wanted a baby fi sh. That one is too big! Dain Allen Schaefer: My favorite memory was when I was about 7 years old. My family and grandfather had gone fi shing at a stock tank. I cast my line and caught a bass right away and my grandfather was not catching anything. So when I went to have my daddy take my fi sh off my line my grandfather moved into my spot. I just moved to another spot and caught another and he didn’t get a bite. This went on all day. Now telling this story brings a smile to my face remembering my grandfather and the fun times.

boat with a trolling motor on the river close to the bank. My youngest son, who was about 4, was in the boat with us. We were under a long branch with shade, and I looked up and saw wrapped on that branch one of the biggest snakes I had ever seen. I started yelling at my hus- band to move the boat because of the snake. He turned around and pushed the oar on the bank to move the boat and brushed against a lot of bushes and fi lled the boat with spiders. I stood up and started screaming, “Spiders! Spiders!!” and grabbed my son. My husband said ever so quietly if I didn’t sit down he was going to knock me in the river before we all turned over and drowned. We didn’t catch any fi sh that day.
