OK Giz, let's get down in the mud and pick on a middle age guy that is losing that sharp vision. (sharp vision - I've heard that somewhere before). Besides, with the slow NF fishing reports at the time with the river so high, I thought we'd have just as good a chance in the lot puddles. We got skunked there so put it late and ran away from the fish down river. But we came back in the afternoon and didn't score at the hatchery hole hot spot (meathole area) and you guys did. (How in the hell did you get Roy to hook one?!?) Geeeeeez that's humiliating. Speaking of vision, we must have been so shaken by you almost running over us in Scott's sled that we couldn't concentrate on the feeshin - had to keep an eye on your driving. But I need to catch a springer on 4/13. That's a lucky date for me; I used to get to drive 413 big block muscle cars when my Dad was with Chrysler back in the day. ...

And I've got to hand it to you Os - right now I'd take .500 in flotillas in a heartbeat. Would only have accepted batting 1000 going in, but I've been humbled by the flotilla gods. There are a lot of them on the horizon, and I foresee catching up to your batting %. Quicker if you show up for them!

Since I am really a 'reggie' and have 3 Oreos so far in my sled Giz, can you allow Jeff's Wassie team, with Dan and Yall, and my team to combine to make an interstate goodwill Team Reggie? [no Steve, you cracker. Besides Jeff's team wants no part of your flotilla stink near his boat] Oh , fine then. We'll see who needs to be hosed off after F4!

As for you Aunty, you are gettin pretty darn cocky since catching your first steelhead! (2 in fact, as I recall) So you keep talkin it up and come "Judgement Day at Sand Island", you better being swingin some chrome! Springer that is. ...
