"LIKE"- the writing; nicely done, Tex. "DISLIKE"- the subject of the post. Kinda sucks. I shall very nearly feel guilty when I fish there on a weekday whilst you're working. Maybe I'll do the old "neoprene float/bob/spacewalk" just for old times' sake!

Hope it was a great one, Clive; all the best! Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday, Brian; hope yer havin' a goodun!

Lookin' good, Mike! Keep the pics comin'!

Gorgeous 'bows! (Now, get a bigger net...)

Very nice, Gary; keep them pics comin'!!!

Nice pics, Jeff; gorgeous 'bows!

I'm confused, Clive... Why would we need sheep AND wimmin??? That's just being greedy!

Nice fish, Hydroman. That brown's missing a pretty good chunk; was he healthy, otherwise?

Not much for prayin', but I'll be keeping a good thought for you & yours, Lynn.

Great pics, treeplanter! Thanks for that...

Nicely done, Jeremie; looking forward to seeing more pics from the surf...

Sorry to hear about your friend, Tex. Thanks for sharing & reminding us that's there a lot more to fishing than just catching fish....

Thanks, Drew; I've learned a few new things...

Nice! :bow: Awesome pics, dude; thanks for that!

Crikey! Noice broon! Well done, Gary.

Chunky Esox! From the Bow???

Got out with my bro' this morning. Got the usual mix of whites, 'bows & browns. Nice to meet forum member LittleMoodz on the water. Watched him land this 22" rainbow... LittleMoodz- The release... I was swinging & missing a bunch; was 0 for 5 at one point. Then I landed a 17" rainbow. A few minutes later I netted this 18.5" brown... Landed a white shortly after, then hooked & lost one more fish to finish 3 for 9. Not a bad batting average (.333) for a major league baseball player; crappy for a fisherman, though! :$*%&: My bro' also landed 3 fish- one of each, as well. The fish were full of piss & vinegar; the trout all went for some air. Fun day on the water!

" 9 Ft Rod For Wife " When I saw this thread title, I got very excited. My first thought was, "When can you drop off the rod & take my wife?" Then I read your post & realized you weren't offering a trade. Extremely sad now...

Sweet report; well done, fellas!!!

Whoa, dude... You just blew my freakin' mind!!!

Hope you had a great birthday, Lornce; all the best to you, sir!

It's not really a fair contest, is it? I mean, the ability to walk on water gives you a decided advantage over us mere mortals.... Welcome to the fray, Bill; howzabout you tell us a bit about yerself? Where do you fish? Tell us a fish story or somethin'... This place has been pretty dead during this cold snap; all the guys are sitting at home polishing their rods instead of fishing... Peace out! -Steve-

If you're looking for DRAFTING skills, avoid anyone who has ever worked for the Calgary Flames organization.... Andrew, I expect you will keep us updated on this project; hope you find exactly what you need!

Nice work, Dave! "To infinity.......and beyond!!!"
