Slab's Dog & Pony show

[up2specks]

Special thanks goes out to Ed(Slab) for organizing our Florida end o' season Crappiefest @ his home lake(Griffin). Should have been especially easy [COLOR="#0000FF"]pickins for both BillBob and himself after many hours of pre-fishing/no livewell checks and a modest amount of contenders! My excuse was easy = even though I had a new pony for the show(boat), this was it's 1st splashdown after just picking it up from factory three days ago. Re-mounting my MK Ulterra from other boat, my calculation was about 3/4" shy of perfect...while deploying, my lower unit hit bow causing a fault(motor paused) code. Couldn't use trolling motor at all, so tried employing outboard "stop/go" to long-line. Catching only one 13" green pickle AND Mother Nature exercising her lungs @9:30, my competitive edge switched to a Suzi "break-in" exercise and a THUMP THERAPY trial period. Nice folks(some new) and good fresh Publix cold-cuts, CrappieGirl cake/ Slab's moms Potato salad and of course the part of the get-together that "went to the dogs"! Good to see Chucker(after all he's been through), and especially FLYCASTER for whoopin' the KING on his home lake! Until next season- Stay safe, enjoy your blessing folks.
