Its a salmon. I caught it on a 2 dollar spoon that I found in the Walmart clearance section last night lol.
My friend caught one also but not as nice as mine.

You know, kid, I am amazed at what an impact your grandpa, the late great BOLS, had in such a short time here on the Den. Somehow, he climbed all the way up to the fifth top poster, according to the nebulous rules for achieving points, within maybe a couple of years? Very impressive. Then, he made such an impact on the members that our supreme leader, Nate, was gracious enough to post the sad news, but also to reach out to your family and let you know what he meant to us. You have picked up where BOLS left off. I expect and hope that you will be a member here long past the point where many of us have been scraped off the Earth. Who knows, maybe you take over for Nate someday. 
. Anyway, I just want to say how much I appreciate you picking up the baton and running with it. You’re a very welcomed asset to the board.

Thank you for that. It means a lot to me. After reading through some older threads I know that I can’t be the poster that he was. No way can I let shit roll off my back like he did.
I love it here though and can see why this was so important to him. I am very happy that I joined.

I love how the picture makes it look like the size of the fish is preventing you from standing up.
Great catch!

Iview @The_Kid as Bols’s love energy, literally walking around in the world with us
Being kind, loving, and mentoring to him… Is the same as being there for Bols
Well, it is true that the kid is his own energy, the love energy from our old friend is greatly reflected in his energetic way of being
The kid is healing for all of us… And I would love for the inverse to be true as well
Hoping that anyone who can mentor him in anyway, Support, Help, assist, etc.… Hope we all do that

I’m pretty sure @Bols would’ve laughed. You take yourself too seriously, my friend.

I’m hoping it’s just you. My post was as much a tribute to BOLS as it was to the kid. Sorry if my sincere reflection ruined your day.
