Just got off the phone with John. He was pulling up to meet a friend and have breakfast. After breakfast John and friend are assaulting the North Georgia Mountains after huge bows like the photo above from John's trip there last fall. John informed me that this stretch is know for having the state record bow caught in it.

John tortured me by sending me a email from his phone.

First 14 casts....14 bows to hand and all over 5 pounds.
John was using small stuff most of the outing.

That's the nice thing about cell phones they let you send pic texts . The bad thing is sometimes you receive them too.

looks like he had a good time .
