Here's your chance to contribute to your Club publication, North American Fisherman. We're looking for member-written stories and other material for upcoming editions of Fishing Club Journal.
Hi folks:
a few years ago my son Kyle had a problem with school work , he wasn't getting things done in class time that he was supposed to.
One wed. he came home and said he had gotten his class work done all week.
having the next weekend off i told him that if he got it all done for the rest of the week nwe'd go out fishing saturday for as long as he wanted to stay out.
My dad, his brother and i all went fishing with Kyle,m We went to a farm pond where I knew that the sunfish were as big as my hand ( I span almost 13 inches and whear a size 13 ring)and I figured that the odds were pretty good that Kyle would catch something big enought to bring home.
I should mention that Kyle was about nine years old at the time.
Well he had some sort of crawda representation on his hook from the last time we had gone out.
the rest of us were still gearing up....putting worms on hooks etc. when Kyle made his first cast.
He was perhaps 6 feet from shore on his retrieve when something just grabbed and growled on his lure.....took a bunch of line..
But Kyle fought it right, kept his rod pointed up, let the fish tire, and landed it by himself....
We put it in a basket and it was the only fish we caught all day.
We stopped at the local grocery store and I asked If I could have a couple of plastic bags to put the fish in and wiegh it on one of the produce scales.
When I put the fish in the bags and carried it back ito the store, the manager said "no, lets take this to the maet scale"
The fish wieghed 5.92 lbs. (after a drive of 20 miles to the grocery store.)
All things considered, I have to believe that someone "upstairs" figured Kyle had earned that fish.
It is of note that this is the only time before or since that we have come away with only one fish from that farm pond.
We want to showcase Club members from around North America, but we need YOUR HELP to do it.

Member Notebook
In this section, we want to highlight a Club member who has a meaningful story, in or outside the world of fishing. Do you know another Club member who is a respected community leader, long-time civic volunteer, or somehow made a positive difference in the lives of others? Let us know about them. And don't be shy about noninating yourself.

This section is not restricted just to heros and humanitarians. We want to hear about any and all Club members with an interesting tale. Maybe they had a harrowing experience or a narrow escape on the water, are an exciting adventure on a recent fishing trip.

Or, let us know about a member who caught a record fish, or is a champion on the local tournament circuit. We will consider each and every story for publication, whatever it is. All you have to do is send it to us. We'll also need your Member Number and a phone number where you can be reached.

In addition, we'll need a crisp, clear, well-lit photo of you or the member you nominate. Sorry, electronic images from most personal digital cameras don't have high enough resolution and won't reproduce on a magazine page. Same with electronic images printed on a home PC. They are too blurry. We need a good color print, or a high-resolution electronic image taken on a professional quality digital camera.

Send your story by replying to this post, or better still, by emailing it to: editors@fishingclub.com. Or, you can send it via U.S. Mail to: NAFC Fishing Club Journal, P.O. Box 3403, Minnetonka, MN 55343-2103.

One day in August 2003 me and my family went for a trip to Bass Lake, I thought it would be a real treat, but then my aunt told us about a place called Minklers. Then we went all the way to Minklers instead of Bass Lake, but when we got there they were closed. So we went to Avacodo Lake, I got there and was ready to fish, then we moved to another spot. Then when I got comforable we moved again. Then we when to the Dam over by the Lake instead of Avacodo, I got a few nibles but no fish, we went home but not empty handed, I caught some minno's to fish with next time I go Fishing. I never wanted to go there again, because the water was murky, and not clear and there were not very many fish, I would rather go to Bass Lake any day.
