My Year In Pictures and a Fun Question!!!

My year was pretty amazing if I do say so myself...I mean, how often does a person break two personal fishing bests and get to go on multiple Canadian adventures in only ONE year!!! Crazy!!!
Today, the FisherMommy is coming into town for TURKEY DAY, and I am so excited. She lives down in Southern Arkansas (where I am originally from...that's right...I'm a Southern Belle) and that is 12 whole hours from her loving Fisherbabe Daughter. What a drive...WHEW!!!
Anyways...as I was getting ready for her arrival, I came across our little fishing albums from this year. Taking Wolfy's advice from a few weeks back, I started flipping through to refresh my memory on those major catches and to remind myself what an incredibly lucky Fisherbabe I really am.
So..today...in honor of a really FABULOUS year of FISHING, I have posted a few of my favorite pictures from the year...Also, I wanted to ask you all a silly, fun question, and I really hope I get lots of answers.
"If you could fish with any famous fishing personality in the world, who would you chose to fish with and why?"
I think I would have to say that mine would be "Bob Izumi." I mean you all know how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE Canada and its amazing fishing opportunities...so I cannot imagine the great stuff that I could learn from him by fishing with him even just for an hour!!! PLUS...his show (Bob Izumi's Real Fishing on WFN) is amazing and he ALWAYS seems to get the big fish (and if thats editing then maybe I should fish with his Cameraman...LOL). Somehow, though, I don't think it is since Mr. Izumi is the leader in skill and knowledge of Canadian Fisheries. Bob would definitely be my choice :)
Another person I would love to fish with is Italo Labignan from WFN's Canadian Sportfishing. Talk about a dream....fishing all of Canada for the largest of the greatest fish the country has to offer. I can't think of one thing better in the world...
I would settle for just a beer and story exchange with any of these guys!!! I would even pay!! :)
So leave me a comment and tell me who you would want to go out in a boat with for a day...or even an hour :) Have a great day and...
Happy Commenting ~

Good question, For me me if it had to be a famous person in a boat, fishing and chewing the cud then there could only be one choice:- Mr. Ray Mears, the man for me is embodiment of outdoor survival, with a vast reserve of knowledge which he’s always willing to share, an unassuming down to earth manner of communication, unpretentious, just an all round good egg. Yep that’s the famous fishing companion (or any outdoors activity for that matter) for me.

Lizzy,

First of all, I LOVE the lake trout pics!

If I could fish with anyone ... I've actually had the chance to fish with a few "celebrities" - Stu Apte, Al Lindner to name a few - and they have been great. My favorite has been spending an afternoon with Joan Wulff fly fishing on the Little Beaverkill near her home in Lew Beach. That said, I do have people I would sincerely love to spend some tme with on the water. This may come off as gratuitous, but it is truly heartfelt - if I could fish with anyone, it would be the various people I've "met" via my blog. I have every intention of meeting a bunch of you and, if at all possible, fishing with you. And, since I travel so much for business, it might actually have a chance of happening.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
