It was nice to meet you as well Joey! I enjoyed myself around the fire, shooting the poop and trying to talk... my voice came back on Sunday, much to the chagrin of my wife, when I got home
As usual, I have a great time passing the time with FishnSled and meeting and fishing with Terry and learned alot just shooting the poop!
A little disapointed in the results from our fishing efforts... by the look of the two fish that came up when it was my turn to reel in, I'd say I shoulda brought a white bucket! Both were eatin size!
We had a number of fish that were a little worse for wear after bringing them in. Hooks in places that can damage the fish. We kept these fish in the live well to see if they were going to make it or not, happily, they all pulled through.
I'm pretty sure though, that the floater with the lamprey on it, we tried to revive it, (we saw it floating as we were moving to another spot) wasn't gonna make it. I'm also a little disappointed seeing those guys in the fish cleaning hut, Saturday night, exercising their "right" to slaughter 4 huge hens. After a brief chat, I realized that I wasn't gonna change many years of "experience", by talkin to these guys. What's interesting though, is that when I asked them if they have big fish like these back in their "home waters" they said no, we don't. They didn't really like when I told them that if they and others like them, kept keeping 12lb pound + fish, we won't have they any more either!
Good to meet Tybo as well, apparently we have crossed paths at Quinte in the past. Briefly met Irishfield, chatted with Biteme, Percher and as always, Doug (not that there's anything TERRIBLY wrong with that!!!) Roy a pleasure as always! Looking forward to the next GTG, and meeting and laughing with more OFC'ERs!
