Cliff, you have a PM. Joey

Very nice Maureen. Yep, his son is a cutie like you said at the swill. Joey

So, you gonna give us the scoop on the next one Cliff Joey

Great report Taper. How come your son is not holding the fish? Are they spiney? Joey

Beautiful as ususal Pam. Very impressive. Joey

Well, I didn't see this til now, but I joined anyhow. Hopefully I'll catch up in points. Joey

Geez Lew, that's just aweful. But I see it in my occupation all the time. Karma will come back and bite them in the you know what for it. Hope Sheri is feeling better. Joey

Mmmmm, fresh boneless pike. One of my fav's. Great report. Joey

I totally agree ChrisS. I felt there should have been a caution. They have to stay consistent. It's almost as bad as watching hockey and the ref's favor one team and penalize another throughout the game. It's not really a game then is it. Joey

Glad you two had a good time at the show Cliff. You should have gone yesterday and came for wings with us. Joey

Well I'll take you up on that offer Wayne And I can't believe you said that about the Merc. Paul stood there and said "Merc's aren't supposed to be gray, I don't think I could take that, I'd have to paint it." Hahahaha, too funny. Joey

Yes Brian, that is Paul, and longingly isn't the word. I had to wipe the dribble from the corner of his mouth and coax him away with the promise of more beer It sure is a brute tho eh! And Clampet, how bad was the slush and snow, we're thinking of going tomorrow, but after driving in the drizzle on the way home, wondered how bad it would be? Joey

Welcome back Dano. Joey

Ya, I saw that boat Fishindevil, what a beaut. I put some pics in my post. Too bad we missed each other there, would have been nice to see you two again. Joey

Looks like we just missed you guys Nauti. Great pics you got there. Joey

Just got back from the show and the mini swill. I have to say, it was the same as last year and Paul and I discussed that we sure miss the old days when you could barter for a deal. I think those days are gone forever tho. Oh well, with TJ coming through with the admission tickets (thanks bud ), we managed to get a few things that are hard, if not impossible to find at the stores we ususally shop, and at 15% off with no tax also, we did pretty good . The special edition Lund was a beaut (I think Fishindevil referred to it in his post). I took a couple of pics of what stood out for me, the giganto fishfinder (you could watch a movie on that thing) and the ridiculously large Merc on the back - talk about hair by Mercury . We seemed to have missed alot of people by the time we got there and just by luck got out of our vehicle at the very moment TJ, Monique and Avery were walking back to their car . Chatted for a bit and they were off to do some family things. Met up with Maureen and her nephew, DouG and Loonietoon, all of whom we met up with later for a bit of grub and chat at Arizona Bar & Grill. Lexxington and his wife and kidlets showed up too. It was nice to talk to all of you and share some laughs and great food. Some pics at Arizona's. Maureen & DouG Paul DouG, Me and Loonietoon Lexxington & his newborn Max (both are still on the bottle ) Cheers, Joey

Looks like a great day you had. What a honkin perch that is. Woohooo. Great report. Joey

We're heading down around noon, and probably going for wings after too! Joey

Hahahahaha, good one Tom Joey

Way to go Emil. Nice fish. Joey

That's awesome news Rob. So glad to hear it. Joey

Its funny, I never got carded UNTIL I turned of age Joey

Winless or wineless Phil. I still don't think he's done the latter Joey

Great report as usual Greg. Cool looking Ling too. Joey

Looks Like Waltrip is in the hot seat now too. Interesting. Nascar Scandal Joey
