Welcome aboard.

Great report Jonny, WTG! Thanks for taking the time.

Johnny...don't you know anything? That's the "cross your heart" hold!

On a side note, neighbours used to borrow garden tools from me and I'd never get them back. Now, when I buy a rake, shovel, spade or anything else, I paint the handles hot pink. They either don't borrow them now or when they do, they bring'em back PDQ.

Very entertaining report. Thanks for posting, that was great.

A great, great fish Brian. Congrats to you.

Nice hands! For just ONE minute I wanted to be that chipmunk. Great report Joanne. OK OK What's his name did good too.

Thank you, ecmilley.

Thanks for the pics Mike. Nothing else for me to say......

I know that this is going to sound silly but I learned this from a master many years ago and it works. Take the male ferrule and turn it in the crease between your nose and your cheek. Most people have enough skin secretions there to "oil" the ferrules. Don't be putting other products on there.

I read this report (celebration) last night and at the time had no words at all to offer. I have just read it again and all I can say is that if it's Kareem's mission on this earth to make people stronger, he's succeeding admirably. We can all take a page from Kareem's book and celebrate life as he is doing. Cliff, as usual, has the right words this morning. God Bless.

HMMM

Group Hug time....

Built-in figure eights.

WTG Bud! You've got some major fatties in there and some very pretty fish as well. Looks like some decent structure too! Congrats on your season so far.

A man walks into a bar and says, "Give me a beer before problems start!" Again, the man orders a beer again saying, "Give me a beer before problems start!" The bartender looks confused. This goes on for a while, and after the fifth beer the bartender is totally confused and asks the man, "When are you going to pay for these beers?" The man answers, "Ah, now the problems start!" An old lady walks into a bar with a duck under her arm. A scraggly old drunk staggers over, takes one look, and says, "Jeeeez, that's the UGLIEST thing I ever saw!" The woman turns her nose up at him and says, "This happens to be a stately creature! Go away, you horrid man!" The old drunk yells, "Lady, I was talkin' to the duck!" A man goes into a bar with a giraffe, they both get a couple of rounds in. When they get up to leave they're extremely drunk and the giraffe passes out and falls over. The man opens the door, about to leave by himself, when the bartender stops him suddenly and says, "Hey! You can't leave that lyin' there!" The man turns around and slurs, "Don't be silly, that's not a lion, that's a giraffe!" A piece of rope walks into a bar and the bartender says, "We don't serve your kind."

He orders a beer. The bartender says, "That'll be $10. You know, we don't get many kangaroos coming in here, you know." The kangaroo says, "At $10 a beer, it's not hard to understand."

The cowboy yells, "Which one of you painted my horse?" A seven foot tall hulk of a man says, menacingly, "I did." The cowboy realizes he is in trouble and replies, "Why, thank you - the first coat's dry!" A man walks into a bar with a dog. The bartender says, "Hey buddy, can't you read that sign? It says no dogs allowed! Get that mutt out of here!" The man replies, "No, I can't read the sign - I'm blind, and this is my seeing eye dog." The bartender is embarrassed and gives the man a beer on the house. Later that day, the guy is telling his friend about it: "I told him I was blind and I got a free beer!" The friend then takes his dog into the bar and sits down, and the bartender says, "The sign says no dogs allowed! You'll have to leave!" The friend says, "Sorry, I can't see the sign because I'm blind, and this is my seeing eye dog." The bartender replies, "Since when do they give out Chihuahuas as seeing eye dogs?" The man says, "They gave me a Chihuahua?" A giraffe walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Why the long face?" (This joke never gets old) A man walked into a bar holding an alligator. He asked the bartender, "Do you serve lawyers here?" The bartender said, "Yes, we do!" "Good," replied the man. "Give me a beer, and I'll have a lawyer for my alligator."

(thanks to Thorn) A snake walks into a bar. Waaaa?(thanks to Evets) A dyslexic guy walks into a bra.

A dyslexic guy walks into a bra.

It's a matter of perspective. The same could be said about people "catching" almost dead salmon on the tribs this time of year when most fisherfolks know full well that many of those fish did not bite.

Nice fish.......did you give it to a guy with a beige shirt? :-)

Welcome aboard, E-dude. Pull up a log and enjoy your stay.

Good stuff Tony! There's just so much water and structure there you'll have a blast. Have a great time. You've earned emough good Karma on the deal to get you a few fish for sure :-)

Glad you're on the mend. Don't rush things with back injuries though. Thanks for the report.

Great report as usual Garry. Sounds like a peaceful fish with your Bud. Thanks for sharing.

But why would he race a 55 Impala?

I'd be hard pressed to question either Lew's or Cory's fishing etiquette let alone anything else. They're both seasoned anglers and very polite people.
