I've been absent lately, but look what I caught while I was out.

I haven't done much fishing lately or even posting on this board while my wife and I where in the last few weeks of her pregnancy.  I saw that Bill recently kept a girl at 7 lbs 1 oz and 20 inches long (Congrats again Bill).  I guess I'm just wondering if there is a slot limit on keeping'em or maybe there was a pool I might be a leader on now for 2006, becuase my son Owen was born Jan 6th weighing in at 8 lbs 0oz and 22 in long.  Amy (my wife) and Owen are doing quite well.  It's only been about a week, and I'm wondering if I'll ever go fishing again, but I've been reassured that day will come.  Actually, right now I don't really miss fishing.  What am I saying?

COngratulations Brian!

Shoot, my wife's labor interrupted a fishing expedition, and I used one of the 'baby days' work gave me off to make it up.    The only bummer is it's hard to find a sitter so that both of us can go fishing.  She came along about 80% of the time before the baby.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! 

What a keeper! 

Glad everyone's healthy! 

Don't worry, your desire to fish will soon return! 

NBWAF (New Born WAF) is an even more valuable form of currency than PWAF (Pregnancy WAF)... very difficult to come by. 

TWAF (Toddler WAF) starts to become a bit more reasonable. 

Congrats Papa Brian! 

congrats Brian.  That's truly the catch of a lifetime.

Congratulations on your new fishing buddy, Brian!

Awesome Brain!! FYI the marraige contract is in the mail!

Brian congratulations to you and the wife,Owen's a great looking kid, no need to photoshop there.
Wishing you and your family Health,Happiness and Great Memories in the years to come.  Mike
 

Congratulations Brian!!!!!!!!

The fishing will be here when you're ready, they grow up fast so spend as much time with him as you can! Oh and once he's able to tie his own shoes, teach him to tie his own fishing knots ... father/son fishing is sooo much better after they can tie their own knots.   

Congrats to you and the Fam!
