Stripmine1 was a real trooper, right up til the very end. He passed away a few years ago, from Muscular Dystrophy complications.

Click on his User ID name (Stripmine1) and then click on his "homepage" link, and you'll get a sense of what Andy was all about. Click on the link to "all posts" and check out the posts/pics, too. He sure loved to fish them stripmine/strip pit waters, and usually got into some fish of one kind or another.
I sent him a box of Crappie baits & stuff, just some things I had way too much of or no longer used ... and you'd have thought I had sent him a thousand dollars worth of the latest and greatest :p the way he went on about using them to catch him some Crappie.

He's sorely missed. R.I.P. Andy, my friend.
