One minor detail the Pikeslayer neglegted to mention.....He has the distiction of boating the first ever fish in the ranger since restoration. As tempted as i was to wrestle the pole from his hand and gain the honour for myself, I did as his sig says and was the "better" man. The look on his face was worth the price, as rarely have I seen someone so happy about boating a fish. We had a great time, and that is saying something because there was no bite to speak of and we had to entertain one another with good converstaion to make the day platable.
Thanks for putting up with my desire to run the boat, Simon it was nice that you could use your empathy and enjoy it as well.
Once again a good time on the water.
