I dont see any negativity. I see personal opinions on the Vietnam war Chris. Respect has been made to those that fought it.It,s the reason that,s not aggreed with.Those kids didnt have a choice,I respect that. If it was our country that started this war,I would be opposed as well.It,s not a negative remark to the OP.
As for your question Billy,I was not,but my grandfather was in ww2. I have read many letters he sent to my grandmother while he was based. To him,and the many others that fought a this war,I to say TY as well.
Lots of times I would take the mrs,s with me for prefishing.She would tan and read a book. Never had a problem.She just like to be out for the boat ride.
I remember that.
As for your story,I can believe that aswell. When I was a we lad,my pop landed a huge smallie on GBAY. It was the biggest he had caught,and the biggest many locals had seen. Back then,my pop used that basket live well thing,over the side of the boat. Kept it in there for three days off the side of the dock,just to show me mudder,when she got up to the camp. Released right after. They are in there. I dont dought,their in Simcoe aswell.
I,ll ask a buddy. He charter the bay aswell. Im sure I seen that boat outside the old tackle store on the way to collingwood. It was where the walkers owner lived.
Cripes,,,,,,,,,,,,it took me many years to give in for my first. He does do great work. Once I have a full fall run with my build.I,ll be ordering my set reel butt section.
