Car pics too cool not to share

I'm jealous over here. I haven't been fishing but maybe a dozen times since my first was born over 6 years ago, but the good news is my kids are finally starting to be of an age where their attention span and interest are getting them into fishing, as long as something is biting, or frogs or crabs are around.

I hadn’t fished other than a couple charter trips in probably 20 years. The kids wanted to go this year and we’ve had quite a bit of success and the wife wants to go every night after work. We have quite a few lakes to pick from.

I prefer bass or anything big. I don’t fish for anything small.

Was out shattering dreams earlier today when some kid swore he caught a 4 pound largemouth and I told him it wasn’t even 3. Weighed it for him and it was 2.4 lbs.

Ideally I’d go buy a bass boat but with 6 in the family I need to get something we can all use, for now ;)

What are those?

Northern Pike
 
Pontoon...

Ya know the two happiest days of a boat owner's life... ;)

I like th pontoon idea but we’d look special in the fishing tournaments with one. Plus storage is a bigger issue.

I need to finish the red Jeep so I have space in the garage for a boat.
 
If I had real toy money, I'd have a boat like this one.

Also a fishing boat.... If you have money for one boat, you have money for two boats. :sneaky:


Not gonna lie, it's a sweet looking and sounding boat but it's manners on the water are shit!!!

Without some kind of trim control, that boat will never have good manners at speed. You need to be able to bring the bow back down a little at higher speeds to keep it from trying to do a Miss Budweiser backflip...

Yes I know this is WAY faster than what the above boat can go but it illustrates what happens when the front of the boat gets a little too happy and light...

I don't know jack shit about boats, but even I recognized that the bow sure appeared to be riding high relative to the speed it was doing. Love the rooster tail, though!
