Gary Turner with a 65 Blue Catfish

This a nice 65 pound Blue Catfish I caught on Lake Guntersville in Alabama. I was fishing with Jonathon Herndon and Johnny Sessums!

Update, FISHING!!!

Well, it has been a tough year with Steve's passing but it has driven me to do more, be more, help more.
I had planned on taking my fishing to new levels this year, planned all this with Steve since I fished with him more than anybody else.

I decided I was going to make it happen, I do think of Steve all the time and what he would say about this or that, it really is hard losing a close friend that you spent so much time with.

I have fished so much this year I have been fishing and not blogged about it for lack of time, I do usually post most of it on my facebook. Thought I would make a few quick posts, so here I am,

the following pics are some blue catfish I caught in Santee on a recent fishing trip, hope you like the pics, Steve always talked about going to Santee with me but we never made that happen, :(

I would like to thank some of my sponsors and supporters for hanging in there with me this year.

Deep Thoughts from Today!

Deep Thoughts from my Meditation Tonight.....My main mindsets I live by everyday as best I can are based on this- Help others get what they want and Pay It Forward. I have lived by these principles for years, going into 2012 I had a sense that this was going to be a breakout year for me, I made some plans to change some things and all looked great. I was going to accomplish some things I have put aside and do some things with friends, New Years Day I was on a conference call with some friends from the past and we were outlining things we wanted to work on. Well, as some of you know on Jan. the 5th I lost one of my best friends, 40 days have past and I am still trying to come to grips with the fact that Steve's situation was past something I could change or help him with. Still my mind looks for the clues I missed, it searches for answers.
Steve might never have seen the movie Pay It Forward but he lived his life like that everyday, I'm not sure why this is all on my mind tonight but for some reason it is so I am passing it on to anybody who wants to read it.
For now I will continue to Pay It Forward , I hope all of you out that believe as I do will continue too! Good Night All. GWT

Need More Prayers

Need more prayers, first I learned one of my good friends Mr. Hardegree is dying of cancer and doesn't have long to live, then Steve's father in law Bj, found out he is losing his job next month, then my sister in law Shelia, had a heart attack a little bit ago and is in surgery now. I hope you are all well and have a great weekend, enjoy some life please!!!

Busy Friday!

Been a kinda busy Friday, working on a Discount Card for the FFA Alumni, lining up the businesses for it. If you are in Barrow County and have a business and want a square on our card let me know. Went to luch with Tommy then did some work at Steve's, a quick trip to Wally World then to Big Al's for some Great BBQ!!! :)

Gone Fishin'

It was a pretty day on the lake today, Jonathon and I went fishing, the fish put a woopin' on us, :) this little bullhead thought he weighed 30 pounds when he hit!

The fish decided they were going to fast today, some of them nibbled but nobody really wanted to get caught eating, then we found this little guy, he fell off the wagon and grabbed some swiss cake rolls, oh I mean cutbait, :) we had a great time and it was a beautiful day to be on the lake, sailboats were out running up and down the lake too! Oh, I was fishing with Jonathon.

Great day on the lake, sorry some of you were working and missed it, so do you consider a bad day fishing better than a good day at work? In my book there really isn't such a thing as a bad day fishing :) and I'm unemployed so I can't vote anyway! :)

Caught Some Fish Today

So after subbing today I went fishing with Bry and Caylor in the rain, Bry broke out the new Bream Buster she got for Christmas. Well as luck would have it Caylor found a nice bass that was hungry. We were fishing with half a red wiggler each, hoping to find some bream for my trip tomorrow, no bream. :( So when Caylor caught it I went to the truck to get my camera, it wasn't there, hmmm, neither was my coat??? OK, so it was cold this morning and I wore my coat to school, it was warm this afternoon and I left my coat, lol, so we took pics with his mom's phone and I will post them tomorrow.
