So on a serious side, Doug hit it on the head. We began last year by going on a fishing trip to pull some cranks, but when I left, I felt like I had just made a great friend. And subsequent visits have proven me correct. Fishing is great, but the camaraderie is what it is all about. Not only did I have a great day fishing with Doug, I got to share the boat with another great fisherman, and as Doug mentioned, I believe we hit it off, and I got to leave KY with another friend.

Thanks to Crappie.com, because none of this would have ever happened if it wasn't for the forum.

Even though he kept making cracks about my hair, I really enjoyed Jere's company.
