yea Gene...Doc's tuff as nails! im younger than him and dont see how he does it...he told me the best exercise to keep ya in shape for fishing 5-6 days a week is to fish 5-6 days a week! LOL!! I'm more worried bout my back now...dont seem to be getting much better..as long as i take the blood thinners now the embolisms oughta be under control...but im afraid i may have to see a spine doctor about my back...went to the hospital when i blew it out bout a month ago & they said nothing broke, fractured or out of alignment just a bruised & swollen disc..they gave me a 10 day run of steriods but it just dont seem to be getting better....we'll see...till it does i'll just keep reading bout ya'll catching fish! lol...
