Smokinall4s, I'd like to nominate your post as as post of the year. I still have tears in my eyes.

Maybe I misread that but I'd think twice about using more than one rod on Sturgeon.

We're in luck. I think He has cottage #10 booked at Merlands.

"....and in the beginning, there was TJ....."

I'll be in there in a bit...I have to get a pot of coffee made.

Washing our boats would ENSURE that our resource remains uncontaminated?

It'd be interesting to hear an educated answer on that. All I've ever seen is 3' to 30' with the norm being 15ish feet while trolling and 3-20' while casting.

Good stuff TJ but I still say I shoulda starred in that one.

No Connie. Just the Alabananians

Mike, there's not much anyone can say to make you or Kareem's family feel any better. There just are no words. The thing that you have to be grateful for is that for the past seventeen years, you have been a loyal friend to Kareem and he to you. That's already a lot. He'll have my thoughts for sure. As for little Riley, she is starting a great journey that will make you proud all of your life. Cherish these moments as I know that that alone takes some of the stress away from thinking of Kareem. Be well.

Tony is right. Completely unrealistic. We have those wash stations here for a few lakes. Ten bucks for a light rinse in cold water for the hull only. Just brilliant.

I saw your report earlier but didn't have time to read it. I just did that now. That Saturday looks pretty dreary and it seems as though you really worked for your fish. Thanks for the great report and pics. You know of course that that little girl will remember you for the rest of her life. Good on ya. Nice seeing Buck again too.

Sorry I can't help you with that. I suppose that depending on the occasion, a pink tutu might work.

Congrats to you both, Brian and Ryan! You did good. I don't know who would have been prouder, the grandparents or you and Ryan. Good stuff.

Good stuff, Cliff. You'll be able to be charged, convicted and pardoned all in the same outing.

Russian reelette...what a sport....

Certainly wasn't me but I think that one of our board members caught a huge one.

Check with one of our tool and die guys but I'd say 11/64ths.

He's trying out his personal hero, the Green Coach Dog look. We need to photoshop a wall in there somewhere....maybe even a Twinkie or two. Oh and a blue cat would look nice.

It ends here with a group hug.

Scales = self gratification. People still weigh their fish? :-)

You're just underestimating Gerritt's competence. Gerritt knows if something might or might not work. My kids 'help' me with stuff everyday and some of the help I get is ridiculous at times....ridiculously funny. But, I'll never crap on them for caring enough to try to help me do something. That's just my opinion...and now, the river waits, I'm going fishing.

I hope you get it all smoothed out Gerritt. Lots of people don't have the answers but at least they post to the thread and offer what they think might help or at least offer a little empathy. Sorry you're having a bad start to your weekend Corey......thing'll get better I'm sure.

I'm always up at this time of the day. It's the best time of the day for me. It's my quiet tme. If one day you see that I 'm not up by 4:30, call 911.

That is scary stuff, Emil. At least you were with a good guy...the last thing you would have wanted was a screaming, panicking lunatic to scare the boy as well. Glad all ended well and yes, this post will certainly help some people.
