Congrats Shelley, Congrats Chuck.........looks like a great boat. Sure you two will have lots of fun time in her........

You have my utmost respect Jack for handling things the way that you did. It is unbelievably hard to see your faithful friend in distress and even harder to have the fortitude to help them in the kindest way. Being there and holding them in their final moments when they are looking at you with adoration takes balls......... Barbara and I have been through it a few times and it doesn't get easier. We have sat and talked about the heartache that follows such a decision and come to the same conclusion each time. It is much better to have loved and lost your friend than never to have had their love at all. Take care...... John...

If any of you fine OFC's have access to more than one computer you can vote once a day from each one....I'm hijacking everyone's I can get on here at work...

And again..............

Great, well written report as always Doug.

I'm looking forward to it actually. Pretty sure that Dave will be a refreshing change from the usual poop!

Or weed walleye.................

To be honest I don't watch them. Just most of them way too corny for my taste........

Thought birds pooped in the woods.......oh yeah that's bears...............

What Raf said little angler. Best bit of advice I can give is make sure you sharpen the hooks well if it has been sitting around for a while.....

I'm thinkin' more of a "cocktail" Peter..........

4.5#, really nice fish.........

Congrats, nice fish........

Great report as usual Bunk..........

So sorry to hear it Jack. You are absolutely right, it doesn't get any easier. My buddy Benson is over 10 now and he is starting to show the signs of an aging Lab. The pleasure we get while they are here more than makes up for the sadness when it's time for them to leave us. John...

Yup done........will make it a routine every morning. Lets keep this fresh guys and girls. If everyone on this board votes once a day she should sail home!

D a m n it douG, some things are more important than rocket science...................

I would think that if you take 2 or 3 minnow pails and split them up. Keep what you are not using in the minnow pails in the lake and what you are using refresh the water every hour or so you should be fine......

Great report Brian....sounds like a wonderful day with your son. Pretty good finish too! John

Glad you are encouraging him to follow his dreams Brian..........whatever they may be. It takes a lot of gonads to paddle against the flow. He will never regret living his life doing something he truly loves...Kudo's if he can make a living at it too! John

One a month would be swell!

Hi Pete, welcome. Pretty good crowd here.

Great price for the Maina rod. Good buy........

Dang, I hate it when dem der bars get up close and personal. Looks like a great trip...

Agree HH, although I must admit to listening to a lot of Neil's stuff... Actually I know Finger Eleven quite well. My daughter is really good friends with the band. For an old guy I quite like their music.. John
