92"!! That's just insane!

From my Orlando trip.. the keynote address at Tech-Ed 2007:

Slow day at work man...

Either that, or I'll use the rest to buy a bunch of chocolate dipped altoids.. Click here if the movie does not play.

Anyone know how much of a difference there is between the $245 Economy Breathables, and the $420 Deluxe Breathables? I suppose it's the whole "you get what you pay for" thing. But I would imagine that only fishing once per week on average would allow me to get away with the cheaper ones?

480 is my guess.

lol.. size 14 and getting bigger by the day.

How generous are you feeling? You can get me a pair too if you want..

True enough. But I almost always fall in the water anyways...

I'm kind of torn on this one. I'm thinking about how few times I ever wade over my waist, combined with the comfort of just having pants, VERSUS the fact that Murphy and his stupid law gets me everytime I think I have a good idea! I guess one thing that helps my decision is that I really want Wardell's, and I don't think they make wading pants.

LOL!!

It's called "humor" man.

Well.. the Alberta Record is 5.656 pounds: http://www.albertaoutdoorsmen.ca/record-book.htm So mine was at least 5.657.

Gave him quite the nasty gash!! Which is why I never put my hands anywhere near those darn things mouths!!

LOL!! I didn't even notice that the first time!! I thought CDock posted it.. totally missed yours above it!! LynnF - No worries at all! It's one of those rare things. I'm having surgery done on Aug. 10 to start treatment. The good thing is they caught it early.. I'm only 26 and most people aren't diagnosed until their mid 40's.

Yeh.. Big hands are a family trait.. PLUS, I recently found out I have Acromegaly. Funny you say that because it's the same thing that "Lurch" in the Addams Family had! haha.. As well as Andre the Giant, Richard Kiel (actor that played "Jaws" in the old Bond movies, and Happy Gilmore's boss), The Big Show (WWE wrestler), etc. Only thing is.. I don't get to be 7+ feet tall! Caught that guy on the Red Deer just down from the boat launch below Dickson Dam.

Pssft! Last time I take you out to catch your FIRST FLY ROD FISH EVER!!

No no.. not FLY fish alberta.. Just Fish Alberta. www.fishalberta.com.

Me holding a 16" whitefish (he's kinda bent up towards the camera.. couldn't get him flat): Compared to this picture you may, or may not, have seen before:

Did I mention to you guys that when I was in Orlando for the Microsoft Tech-Ed conference that for the keynote address they had Christopher Lloyd there in character as Doc.. WITH THE DELOREAN!!! So cool. I'll post the pics when I get home.

If you posted that on the "Fishing Alberta" forums they would rally the troops and string you up. CDock posted something like that before as a joke and people were literally saying "where do you live, i'm reporting you to RAP". It was so funny! But it got so insane that he had to get a different sign on name!! LOL We don't even bother visiting that site anymore because of all the flaming and arguing that goes on.

I know I'm only in my first year, but I think I'm going to take the ultimate challenge and try to master the THNT before year end!

CDock and I pulled about 15 out last night, but we got the majority of them on a little creek that runs into the Highwood. Only 3 on the Highwood.
