Some of you are long in the tooth and yet others just got them so this will be an interesting list.. I ask only that the trips be within a 8 hr drive from where you live..
I will start with some of mine that are not done yet. Close but not done yet..

1. Catch a tuna on fly rod. Heading to CT this summer to do it.
2. Fish for LGMouth in 5 different rivers in 5 days.. I have planned this for years and never pulled it off.
3. Catch a tarpon in VA.. tried two times with no love yet..
4. Get a cobia to eat a fly.. have been refused so many times I have almost given up..
5. Catch golden buffalo in the C&O canal during the Mulberry hatch..This I can do just need some time off work..

So this is a short list of five.

What are your five?

Great post!

1. Redfish on a fly....I just need to dedicate the time to go to the middle bay to do it
2. Albie on a fly...same, take the time off and go with Brian Horsely or Sarah Gardner or Tony Harding
3. Striper on a fly in the Washington Chanel
4. Catch a cobia in VA Beach, along with red and black drum....just need to take the time to do it
5. That carp scenario sounds good...I will go with you. Doug Errett (Old Man) has it dialed in

Hmmmmmm....I think I need to plan some of these trips ahead of time. I know Mo will go to VA beach with me this summer.

1. My most important, catch a 5+ lb bass!!! (Current high=4lb)
2. 20"+ Smallie (current high= 19.5)
3. Catch a New Species of Fish
4. The 5 fish in 5 rivers I might atttemp as well
5. A fish in each AV lake in 1 day (never tried)
6. Redfish (missed the last chance in OBX, but we take day trips there so it should be easy this fall when they run and if they are in Oregon Inlet again soon)
7. Something from VA Beach other than a mullett

I've been thinking about this for a while and it is not an easy task, but here are a few accomplishments I will strive for:

1. Go to Central/South America and land a 15lb+ Peacock Bass
2. Catch a citation LMB by weight (8lbs)
3. Complete the Bass Slam (see Bassmaster article)
4. Win a bass tournament (highest finish is 9th)
5. Catch a 40lb+ Striper
