fish a limestoner
catch a wild tiger(yeah right)
take more and better pictures of fish, wildlife, etc.
20+ inch brown(Erie browns don't count)

 

[troutpoop]

1. Spend more time fishing.

[rrt]

1. Same as Pete's: I prefer this side of the dirt.
2. Fish some different streams.

 

[PatrickC]

1. 30"+ brown on a big articulated streamer
2. An huge Ontario brookie
3. Learn something new, like become efficient with a 2-hander
4. Fish with someone new.
5. Enjoy the time I have on the water with old friends like there is no tomorrow.
6. Fish lots of someplaces new.
7. Catch something new on the fly. I went over and above on this with the Alaska trip in 2011. I never did LAND a northern pike up there (things must have the hardest mouths on the planet, or I have the dullest hooks)...so I'm thinking something toothy. I suspect my northern Ontario wilderness trip will again afford me that chance.
