Only this time it's not catch and release. This one came home with me.
On Christmas morning my wife told me she was in labor, after a quick unwrap of all our packages it was off to the hospital we went. After a few hours of excruiating pain and anxiety, my 7 lb. 9 oz. baby boy was born. The best Christmas gift I ever got. Blake Michael is the name of the newest Calfishermen, and believe me as soon as he can stand up, take swimming lessons, and wear a life jacket, he'll be out on the water with me. Angie and baby are doing great, just really stoked and wanted to share. Happy New Year All!!!

12" MS Slammer is just for proportions....P.S.- Please don't tell my wife I already gave him a $30 trout plug as a chew toy..LOL.

And a Dad too. Congrats to you. I hope all three of you have a good new year. :D

Chris,
Congratulations buddy! That's a good one you got there. Summer and I keep laughing about your "spring spawn" joke. Lots of little fisher-babies out there :)

Congrats Chris! We're due in April, a little girl (Chloe). Glad to hear you and wife were blessed with a healthy baby and momma after everything was done. So guys, we all gonna pitch in for a snoopy rod for the little guy? Can we get one in an 8' model with a Conquest 300 on it? LOL!! Once again, congrats Chris!

Take care and God Bless,
Nicholas Hinkle

Congratulations!!! He is so cute. I'm glad you all three are doing well. I hope you have been able to squeeze in some sleep now and then. :) Thanks for sharing the picture with all of us. There is definitely a Spring spawn happening... or maybe a Winter spawn??
Summer

Right on Chris

Looks like a healthy little fisherman to me. Wont be long till hes out there taking our money in tournaments. Well at least 13-15 years from now. I know he will have a good teacher thats for sure.

Congrats Chris and Angie
