What the hell Don. I hardly ever post on here any more, but I do lurk. Was surprised to see you make an appearance a few weeks ago. Toyed with the idea of giving you a hard time, but decided to leave it alone. Looked like help wasn't needed.
Thought you gave up on all the forums a long time ago.
Nice to see your still alive.
What are you doing dredging up old posts? That's why I felt compelled to respond to you.
I'd hardly make the Hall of Fame any more. Unless they come up with an Asshole Hall of Fame. I can win that hands down, just turn me loose.
The 124 smallies that day was a total fluke and happened down stream from where the shop was. Figured after a flood the fish would be hungry and I got it right for once. I don't expect to ever see that on the Fox again. One of it's creeks, yes, but not the Fox.
As for our Apple trips, those are the ones where I coined the term Death March. The one trip where I let you catch up, it was dark, we still had a good quarter mile of river to wade down and neither one of us could feel anything below our knees. Not sure how we made it back to the car and then drove home without getting ourselves killed. But I do remember laughing like hell the whole time. Oh yeah, we had the windows down all the way in the car on the way home to keep from falling asleep at the wheel.
This year I got bored to death with the Fox and don't see myself fishing it much anymore. The creeks, sure, but I've pounded the hell out of the Fox and it doesn't hold any surprises for me any more. I do enjoy wandering down it and exploring the islands taking pictures. Why bring a fishing pole at that point, it gets in the way.
You should post here more often when the fishing heats up. Give my lurking some meaning. As for your foot, had that in both of them 3 years ago. Stretch it till you cry, then stretch it some more. Took a few months, but mine are back to normal. Stay out of the Obits old man.
And Ron, someone tried using KenG, no space, years ago on another site. I hunted him down, killed him and the remains will never be found.
Enjoy your writing by the way.
