man,  those are some huge fish in that pic.  you guys are freshwater  fishing right?  i wish we were on a lake instead of on the ocean.  we  used to live on lake livingston,  up in north east texas,  and it was  great.  i would go fishing with a pole and a silver spoon everyday.   that was it.  here at the beach,  you have to have your pole,  a box  with a bunch of spare stuff,  a pound of shrimp,  and a couple bottle of  water.  
the fish only eat shrimp here from being spoiled by so  many people fishing and you catch so many hard head catfish or those  funky spiny poisonous fish that you have to cut your line a lot
