No Catch And Release (JUST THIS ONCE!)
Hey folks! Just wanted to let you know that I'm not going to catch and release just this one time...
Our daughter Tess was born Sunday night.
And while at 8lbs 5 ozs she did'nt break any state records, I am going to apply for a trophy certificate - not for me but for my wife!
Hope all is well with everyone!
Thank God for my wife, the midge nymph and those hapless Iowa Hawkeyes!
congratulations! now you can start thinking about getting her a teeny tiny boo rod!
All the best, Jim. Thanks for sharing your joy with us.

Congratulations !!!.............................ModocDan
Jim she is one beautiful little girl. My congratulations to you and your wife.

Yep. She is a keeper.

It's almost funny but when my son was born (23 1/2 years ago now), I had the exact same thoughts about this one being a keeper !!!!! I guess being fly fishermen, we just can't help relating important events in our lives back to our passion for fishing!!!
Tess sure does look like her Dad! Congratulations!!!!

Congrats Jim and missus Jim!
That brings me back to the days, three boys three years apart oldest six years, youngest minutes old....
that was 25 years ago ....
As in the Army, I have never had a bad day Fly fishing, some damn uncomfortable days but never a bad one!
Everyone must believe in something and I believe in Fly Fishing and Fly Tying and believe I will

Jim,
Great news and congratulations! I'm delighted for both you and your wife. Even though this means your fishing at BV will be more challenging and less frequent, I do expect you to have a current photo the next time our path cross.
Again best wishes to you and mom. By the way, got a name yet?
Should have read the post more carfully! Tess is a great name!

Hey Jim - Congratulations, "man what a catch!" Had to show the picture to the wife, we both think she's beautiful. I usually joke and say; "I wonder who the dad is," but wouldn't work in this case, there is no question!
Thanks for sharing!

Best of luck to you and your family.
