Fulfilling a Request

I enjoy looking at outdoor pictures, especially those posted by fellow bloggers. Howard at Windknots and Tangled Lines has shared some great blog images from his recent post. In his response to my comment about the post, he suggested that everyone should do a post like his image post. So I’m going to be the first blogger to fulfill his suggestion. I hope the rest of you guys will submit an “image post” in the coming days as well.
Beautiful rainbow was taken from the crystal clear waters of the Sipsey, I will miss fishing this outstanding tailrace.
Charles and I at our last Troutfest
Kyle was one of my former students, who love to fly fish
Viewing the set of Dances With Wolves out west a couple of summers ago. This western in my opinion was the greatest western ever made; as most of you know I am a HUGE western fan!!
My fishing buddy Ivan; love to watch him make those roll cast under the many overhanging branches on Smith Lake
Our first snow in Spring Hill this year---I've recorded 16 different bird species feeding at my feeders
Blogger David Knapp on the Caney enjoyed my day fishing with David 
Monster bull bluegill was taken last year
Vintage cypress boat, built by my older brothers, one who is no longer with us, but still in memory in this boat
How could I forget Jenny's big catfish
What can I say!!
I still remember this spotted bass
B.T. with one of his best bows from the Caney last year
So many memories from this little pond; located a short distance from our house where my family lived. This little pond is where my brother and I learned to fish catching large bluegill using redworms and grasshoppers for bait. 
Jason home for a short time, a couple of years ago, he loved to fish Smith
The Crystal Mill located in Carbondale west of Denver
Special Grandchildren!!
The bluegill hunter will soon be on the water
Jason and I fishing the Caney a couple of years ago
My older brother who is in bad health now and will never make any more fishing trips--this image was taken from one of many trips I made with him crappie fishing on his home lake in Winona Miss.

Guys I had a lot of fun sorting through hundreds of images from my hard drive to put this post together, brought back a lot of memories

    Looking back on those images made me realize I have landed a ton of fish over the years and everyone of those bluegill, bass, and trout was a ton of fun. Cathey and I are doing well in Spring Hill. Thanks for the comment

    You just can't put a value on some of the memories a single photo can hold. Thanks for sharing.

    Those are some great memories that you've shared, Bill. I really enjoyed this post! I can recall seeing a few of these photo's in their original posts. Nothing like taking a little scroll through memory lane.
