....Congrats to your dad, I can well imagine the adrenaline rush as he patiently held is draw till the right moment. Sounds like he a good clean kill to me. Enjoy the rewards of the harvest. I know I would and do when my hunting buddies bestow upon me a nice feed of wild game....yummy! As for the "fishing board" comment well I'll post an excerpt from the rules (has anybody read them?). "If your post contains hunting images that may offend some, please note Hunting Images in your post description."

.....Oh ya, my boat is worth much, much, much (you get the idea) more than the van that pulls her.

....Well I decided to clean up all the childishness in this post so as not to see it go bye-bye. There's plenty of good steelheaders out there and they're not all float fisherman so lets keep that in mind. Zib did ask "Any other suggestions for a newbie steel header would be appreciated." Oh and I might as well add that I'm in the process of retiring my current float rod (center pin) in favour of a new level wind. That should make me the new elitist type in vogue steelheader. Now if I could only find some cold hard cash for those nifty breathable waders.

....Ouch, I didn't see that one coming. Best I think before begging....lol

....Hmmmm, perhaps you missed this post from earlier today. Oh and welcome to the board.

....Sweet, tie some up for me.

....I've changed a couple. In both instances I was doing lower end maintanence and decided to inspect the impeller while I had them all apart, and in both cases the impeller was cracked and showing signs of imminent failure. I'm not sure how old the impellers were or what is the expected life span but if you're working on the lower unit I'd take the time to change it. If not and it's been working fine then by all means leave her in.

....While I have a number of steelhead rods in various lengths if I'm choosing one for tossing hardware it's my 9 1/2 footer I go to every time. Something rated for 6 to 10lb test is ideal.

....Have a great day out there guys and gals. I'd loved to have been out there with you all but unfortunately I' will be stuck at work.

....It's a great day to go to work, tell me it is, "a great day to go to work."

....Kudos, accolades, etc....

....Well I know exactly where I ought to be this morning and it's not here in front of the puter. Nice job Solo....

....Welcome, glad to have you on board.

....Welcome.

....Oh my, I'm speechless.

....Very impressive Pete and undoubtedly well deserved. Congratulations

....A couple of interesting choices Moosebunk not many would have chosen these, the exception being me of course. Mind if I tag along. We will being using flyrods, right?

"4 hours down... 4 hours back.." ....Sheeeesh, I hope you submitted your fuel expenses to the boss for reimbursement? Tis good though to see you all had a great day.

.....Looks like a good time for all. So will I need pay for view or satellite to see this new show?

.....Well hell one is better than none, this I know for sure! Good going Charmaine!

.....Well well, another happy (new) boat owner. Congratulations Mo, looks like a nice sturdy rig. Kudos to Art for going out of his to deliver it to you.

....Ah the maiden voyage, sounds so very familiar. Glad to see you both out enjoying your toy, congrats again.

....I know you're hanging round the puter when you ought to be looking after Liam so I thought I'd give you a little peak.

....Oh I see, another one of those guys with two boats.

....LOL, ya I've noticed that, not sure how it happened.
