@ Saftybass: The boards needed cleaning, but it was nice seeing my name up in 1st place. It will not be long now, I'll be back up thar, you will see (I may have to run out and bank fish for 1/2 hour 04/01 and catch a 12" bass just to make the board before anyone else does)
@ Buckeye: I know what you mean, I will be lucky to get out fishing 4X in any given month this year. My boat is still in winter storage
@ ML1: I'm just leery of posters signing up, reporting a monster hawg and then are never heard from again. I'm pretty good about trusting people once, twice if they are cute

I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature’s ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. – Fred Bear
