The Older You Get The Faster Time Goes

Where have the days gone?  Another fantastic summer has come and gone and we are in full swing of fall and preparing for ice fishing already.  

It seems the older I have gotten the faster the days and years go.  The seasons are just stacked in on one another.  Seems like just last week Dustin Byfuglien and I were preparing to head to Sturgeon Bay for our annual May fishing trip that encompasses a couple great bass tournaments.  

I am sitting here looking back on yet another great guide season and summer.  The smallmouth fishing was second to none, and the tournaments treated me above average.  Fished the inaugural year of the Classic Bass Champions Tour and qualified for the championship which was held Sep 1st at Lake Pokegama in Grand Rapids MN.  It was a great event, although I didn't get the finish I was looking for.  

As soon as I got through the last few events and guide trips in Sep, I was off to British Columbia to visit good friend Steve Yanish and take in my first ever moose hunt.  This trip had been on my list for many years and finally this fall I made it come to fruition. 

It was a great canadian moose, and my first ever.  I can tell you that BC moose hunting was a bigger adventure then I ever expected, but I recemmond to everyone out there looking at doing a trip like this to just make it happen.  Steve Yanish and Alpine Valley Outfitters did an amazing job and are a first class operation.
