misfish Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 Never stir,always fold in Joe.lol Very cool Ger. Sure did have more open dicussions back then.Guess it was alot more tight knit then eh. TFS.
ccmtcanada Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 Wow...I took some time to read some of those old posts. It's cool to see some great current members who posted back then. It's hard to believe that bly and I have only been members here for only 7 months...as long as there are fish out there to be caught....and OFC is still on the web, I cant see why we wont be here as well. We've met some great OFC'ers, and look forward to meet many more....

Deano Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 Even before we ever had to register, that takes me back, found one of my posts, and the pics was still showing. Can't beleive I'm been around that long. Nowadays I just mostly read.
Gerritt Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Posted May 23, 2007 i have been seaching for one thread in particular and have been unable to locate it. I found one from the day before that made my day surreal... the search continues... Gerritt.
Daplumma Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 I remember that day..you were looking for someone to chat in the morning cause you were home from work. Joe
tjsa Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 DANG.............IZZAT how Terry and Misfish first met? OFC has never been the same since. Was looking for the very first post by Muskiestudd, but did not see it. Where the heck is Chris anyways, haven't seen him around here in a couple months? Its gonna take me a few weeks to go through all those.
DT10Sam Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Got to love memory lane..............thanks Gerritt Regards, Sam
Guest mistyriver1 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Finally had a chance to look at it last night at home, as the site was blocked at my work. Very cool Gerritt, Saw some stuff from 04 when I first joined up. Thanks for posting it.
bosc Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Hey Gerritt. I just finished deleting all the bookmarks I had saved from back then. Great link, trying to get it to work. How come I get the OFC homepage when I click on the links??
douG Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Rein! Great to see you around these parts. Hope you're well. If so, why doncha take me fishing sometime or something.
