Appreciate you sharing your day with the rest of us. Don't be too hard on yourself brother... cause there's not a one of us on this board who hasn't kicked ourselves in the butt many times with all manner of could've, would've, ought've, should've scenarios that I believe will never end as long as you continue to love fishing. If it wasn't for all of these many challenges and even mishaps... it would be so simple everyone would have it mastered.
"Just Like Iron Sharpens Iron... So it is that One Man Sharpens Another Man." Proverbs 27:17
