Finally back on the topic of Maine...

This was Maine in the summer of 2011; My first summer there as a licensed driver! We did not have a running boat at the time, so this is yet another that my dad rented for the week...

 

One of the fish I caught on Mousam Lake in 2011 (2008 was one of my best years in terms of sheer fish size, but we'll get to that later)...

 

Hahaha those are great stories! Yeah, I haven't ever liked fish unless it has no fishy taste at all. I fished with my dad my whole life and he sometimes ate them but I never liked it...

I lied! Looks like I did catch something pretty impressive during the 2011 Maine trip that I forgot about (this was obviously taken on a different day as I'm wearing a different shirt)...

 

That's a pretty fish!!

 

Me in my Tacoma at a charity car wash hosted by my best friend's employer, less than two months after getting my driver's license...

My truck was 100% stock (not even an upgraded stereo yet) and probably had like 20K miles on it at the time!

 

Largemouth Bass if I remember correctly...

 

At the same event...

Maine in August 2009, on Mousam Lake in another rented boat...

The reason my hats looks so funny is because I had the throttle all the way forward and was hauling ass!

One of the only fish pictures I have from the August 2009 Maine trip; You may notice that the quality of pictures from prior to December 25th, 2009 are of lower quality...

This is because I was using a point-and-shoot camera until my parents got me my first Nikon SLR for Christmas in 2009; Also, like I said this photo was taken in August 2009, so I had my learner's permit but I would not come into possession of the Tacoma I currently drive for over a month!

Snorkeling trip in Kauai (Hawaii) in July 2009; A few of my relatives got sick and puked on this trip, but I handled that boat ride like a veteran fisherman and loved every minute of it!

 

My dog Molly, who was born in December 1994, came into our lives in February 1995, and died on December 23rd, 2009; This picture was taken at our house in Furlong in January 2009...

 

Molly in the back of our 2004 Honda Odyssey, in the driveway of our house in Furlong, before a family trip (likely to Maine); Photo taken in August 2008...

 

@JennJenn

The "Big Ass Bass" (my name for it) that I landed during our August 2008 Maine trip; At the time, this was the biggest fish I'd ever caught! That shirt I'm wearing is from an amazing restaurant just a few miles from my Grandma's house: I was 19 years old when these pictures were taken, and it would be over a year before the Tacoma came into my life...

 

A much smaller fish I caught that same day; This photo shows that the pictures of "Big Ass Bass" were taken on my dad's 1990 Skeeter 16-footer...

The 1986 Johnson 60hp outboard on that boat died just days after these photos were taken

 

About four days earlier...
