Some of my best fishing buddies are Republican. So far, none of us have broke out the fillet knives on each other. Fishing, football and food are about the only things I have left about which to talk with my Republican friends. So...what's your best fishing story so far this year? My two are catching monster trout in the mountains with my dad and catching largemouth on every cast out of my sister's pond. I do plan on catching a 40 lb.+ catfish before the water freezes though!
