Thanks fffisch, mark your calendar for next year and you can join us.

I was home by 4:30p on Sunday. Took longer for the tent to dry out this time! As I was ready to jump in the car, ole Frank shows up with a very nice brown! Thanks Frank, for giving me the fish! It will soon be in the smoker! I didn't fish much this year, I had some sinus issues that kinda drug me down...That said, I would like to say that it was another super meet! Thanks to Ed & Carol for all that you do to make this meet what it is!

I know Tom made it home ok, he called to let me know. He really loves this meet (his words)! I'll be working on the journal this week and it would be nice if someone would send pics (as an attachment) via email.

Ed and Maude showed up on Sunday and today Ed , Kinger and I got out for a NICE trip crazy wind but :::::

Kinger and I got out with Merlin (Ed) from the NAFC today about 8ish……….we went 7 for 8 with a grand slam BUT only two were legal size………3 bows , 2 landlocks a brown and a laker…………. We had a good bite going then the wind switched and came out of the west and my Ole tin-lizzy kinda slipps and I get a bad cable angle so………….we went over to the west side much better but only did a laker in 3miles………..
this rainbow went 6.5# big head and a humpback ......we put ALL fish back today and the BOGO grip did a fine job on the bow , we just released the rest in the water being we were not taking any pictures of them........

This was the FIRST fish we hooked up with !!!!!



Better angle for the humpback !!!!!

Ed, Thank you,   Thank you for all you do to make this such a great time!!  From the first night to the last you made me feel welcomed,  from the fishing to the food it was Great,

Frank, Thank you for getting me out in your boat,  sure was good too see you again!

To anyone out there wondering about going to a Meet, I can't say enough about them, the Members that you meet there will become friends for life, each meet I've been to,, Gwinn, Finger lakes, or La Crosse,  each has created such special memories, Fishing yes,, but it is about the people  that make each and every one special, And to all of my Friends out there from the Meets New and Old,  I want to say Thank You for being there and making it a Great Time!!

Take Care  "Canepole"

Your welcome, what are friends for? I wish I could have been there longer. I will keep the la crosse meet in my sights and get there one of these years.

I am glad you enjoyed your self, Tom! As you said, you make friendships at these meets that last a life time..I'll see ya at LaCrosse in 2013! Frank, Susan, Celest, Dave, Nancy, Hoot, Ed and Carol, it sure was nice getting together again! These member meets mean a lot to me...but it's mostly the friendships that are made...Stay well, friends!

You to Pete.
