Whopper

I hear what your saying about your week, I have at least one of them every year, sometimes two which is always a bonus

Well done Cliff!

Awesome report. I don't eat that well at home lol Thanks for sharing!

Great to hear some good news about Jen. Thanks Wayne and I hope you and yours gets some quality time at the lake

Yep under normal conditions I'd be running up the 105 tomorrow headed for Balmertown. No worries it will happen

Well since we're splitting hairs, three feet longer to be exact. Plus the boat was found and not sunk. They pulled it out of the water and have found no structural damage to the boat. Two of the four in the boat were found, both wearing life jackets and the coroner said they drowned, two others are still missing. They are currently checking the GPS and the motor's computer for info.

The Lake Erie incident was and entirely different boat model. Longer fiberglass boat.

Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing

George the boat was found upside down still floating, one of four that were on board has been spotted.......no good

Way to many unknowns going on with this situation for me or anybody else to place the blame here. Sorry for your material loss but glad you and your buddies survived. There's a whole bunch of people at this moment in the Western Basin area of Lake Erie that just wished they had your problem of just dealing with lost equipment.

Burt he may be proud of that too :-)

Yes it's a dandy! Also someone exercising their rights to "OUR" 2nd Amendment

Good to see quality time with your dad, your lucky Those are some really nice fish you two are hoisting

Happy belated birthday Norm!

That's funny right there Mr Parker I could spend an afternoon in George's shop drinking coffee and listening to him talk fishing and lure making. Sorry to hijack this thread

You are getting sound advice from outlaw and Mr.P

I read your post on another board, I'd be tempted except for the fact I am doing two flyins already, May opener and third week of August. I'm not that far from your leaving point, in fact I drive through Indy on my way to Northwest Ontario. Heck I've even been known to meet up with total strangers miles and miles from home just to go fishing lol. Good luck in your search

Nice looking mount Mr Parker.

Snow here has finally melted including the parking lot piles. Ponds and small local lakes are open, things are looking better day by day but I have a feeling we will get hit with at least one more winter storm.

Wrong I have proof lol

Excellent report!

Good to hear some positive news Wayne

Is our justice system perfect ? No but it constantly evolving, a far cry from public hangings on the square. But most of the time it works like it's supposed too. In this man's case it seems mistakes were made, isn't the first time won't be the last. Is he being compensated enough? Probably not, but like some have said what would be enough? Only he could answer that question. Innocence Project has worked for some but one has to wonder how many they have convicted people they have gotten off on technicalities in the trial process besides the DNA evidence. With that said our imperfect system have let guilty people that have taken lives walk away free. As far as capital punishment, I have no problem imposing it on a guilty person if that person takes another person's life under the death penalty provisions. It's not like one is found guilty today and put to death tomorrow. If I'm not mistaken here. In the state of Ohio conflicted of death row inmates sit in prison for a minimum of 17 years before they are put to death, which gives them more than ample time to appeal. Can't speak for the prison that this man was in but I have personally worked in two medium and one maximum security prisons in this state and the conditions are better in them than some people live on the outside, three squares a day, a bed, heat, AC, education if the want it, sports and cable tv, the only thing they basically can't do is leave.

Very nice

Lew very sorry to read about this. Marvin was a wonderful dog, just glad I had the pleasure of meeting him and I'm positive that you and the Mrs. will miss him very much. Hang in there buddy
