My first fish on my rise fishing co. rod

I dont have much time for a proper review (just wait), but here is my first fish on my new rod, Thanks Owl, and Capt. Amanda. It took me 10+ hours to catch a fish, bit it was all worth it when i landed this pig (by my standards) I wore my rise hat all day yesterday, and would have today, but my ears were badly sunburned.

Owlie Awards!

So, winning the owljones.com / risefishing.com contest not only scored me a awesome fishing outfit, it scored my name on the owljones all of fame! What an honor! I am so grateful that I stumbled upon this awesome blog and found these bunch of people. Thank you Owl for the chance to compete with these great competitors, and thank you for doing what you do. I really appreciate  (i never spell that right) everything. now back to editing.
