Betcha 100 snerflats* this thread gets outta control & locked within 24 hours! *snerflat- official currency of Bodanky; however, most transactions are some form of barter & usually involve sex and/or cake.

As Squiggy once said to Carmine("The Big Ragu") on "Laverne & Shirley","Don't put yerself down, yer not worth it!" Looks pretty good from here, man... Nice work! Thanks for sharing with the rest of us. Later, Steve

What does Dustin win for being closest?

Wow! That's some sweet steel, Dune; thanks for sharing. Hope you get a chance to chase 'em again.

Thanks for the 2-part photo essay, Doubletap; great job! Later, Steve

Yessirree, that's some bee-yootiful country! Glad to hear y'all had a great trip, Rick. Can't wait to see the rest of the pics & video. Later, Steve

If I had to guess, I'd say Sundance is trying to do his part to thin the perch population in Lake Sundance. This leaves more food for the trout to grow big & strong (theoretically). Sundancefisher, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong... Later, Steve

Glad to hear you had a wonderful birthday, Lynn. Looking forward to another year of interesting( mostly non-fishing related) posts from you. Thanks for sharing some of your life with us. -Steve-

Thanks a lot, Tako! :$*%&: I just had to saw the top of my head off, pull out my brain, and hold it under a running faucet to wash away the picture of you 'enjoying' the company of a hard-peckered bull moose!

:wave_smile: Great pics, man! Diggin' the Brookie close-up; mad macro skillz-WOW!!! You have a good eye, my friend; got more shots to share? Later, Steve

:bow:

Sounds like an awesome creek, Taeke! Maybe we can plan a FFC campout/fishing weekend there soon... ...NOT!!! Let us know if you meet that cutty again. -Steve-

The good news is- if y'all ever forget your net, you can use Dave's crack as a cradle for landing fish!

Thanks so much for that first photo... As for the second link- rest assured that DNA testing will prove that the critter is the result of generations of inbreeding.

Wow, you guys are dumb! It's very obvious what the bailing bucket is for; if your 'toon sinks, just bail the lake dry, then walk to shore!

For some reason I feel like hitting up a cutty stream... Superb pics, man! Thanks for posting. -Steve-

That quote is from a bathroom wall, appropriately enough! Actually, it's from a "McLean & McLean" comedy routine about stuff written on bathroom walls.

Nothing stops 'em if they want your car bad enough; but, if there are 10 cars in a lot & one of 'em has a club, don't you think the punk looking for a joyride is gonna try the other 9 first? You bet yer arse he will!

Shee-ite! Dem brookies is purty! The underwater pic came out real nice; what camera are ya using? I just got an Olympus Stylus 850 SW for my birthday a few days ago; can't wait to nail a few of those underwater shots. Tried a few the other day, but the water was kinda murky & they didn't turn out. Was neat to get video of my bro' land a fish, then went under for the release; I think I'm gonna like this new toy! Anyhoo, thanks for posting some sweet shots, man; keep 'em comin'! Later, Steve

And once you've played him to death, then you have to decide,"Should I eat him or mount him?" Either way sounds kinda...umm...wrong...? BTW, schweet pics, Maxwell! Keep up the good work, young fella! Later, Steve

C-man, you make a good case for keeping an open mind. But, the best part of your post is the last sentence; hi-freakin'-larious!

An awesome morning of fishing, AND you got rid of yer mudder-in-law? No, yer not lucky, now, I knows! I 'lows you'll get the bigguns next time; take a camera, b'y! Good luck! -Steve-

Any of y'all perused the latest issue of Canadian Flyfisher yet? Check out the Readers' Showcase & you'll see FFC's own Dr.Bulltrout in a Grip'n'Grin photo with a massive bulltrout that he has named "Big Earl". Congratz, Mr. Burla. Well done! Later, Steve

Awesome pics, Lynn! Many happy days to come for y'all, I'm sure. Love the last pic; reminds me of the 2 dogs in the old cartoon,"Spike's my hero, 'cuz he's so big & strong, & I'm so puny..." Thanks for the update. Later, Steve

Great pics, Rick( in part 1 & 2). Bet that creek will be awesome in a coupla weeks; looks like y'all done good. That bullie must have been a nice surprise; good on ya! Now, there's a certain spot we need to check out... ...yeah, you know where...
