Great friends, great food, and great fishing! If it gets any better than this, I'll just bust! I got to spend the weekend with BRM on his home lake Sardis. Caught a double limit Saturday of real good fish - 2 almost 17" long. Had a blast. Bill, I'm dreamin' of that Express 1760 with the 50 HP with all my rods hanging off of it! Thanks again, Bill and Ms. Lori for having me.

Just put another box of 100 I had left back in there. :).Quote:

It's when I hear about off the wall type stuff I wonder what would make a guy do something off the wall like say going to a 4/0 hook. I mean I like the red hooks but I'd never go to a 4/0 size and most everyone else wouldn't either.Quote:
