Bob,

After having the pleasure of spendin....... ahm let me start over.

After spending a day with you on the river and observing how you handled things as they presented themselves (myself and other smaller situations) and having been around this board for a while, and observed your and fishgals demeanor and( it seems to me) well thought out decisions as to handling problems as they presented themselves, I am more than convinced that your decision as to the auction was the right thing to do!

I am flattered that you took the time to inform all of us about it and I for one, know it was the right one.

I would be very comfortable adding my signature to it just as it is written. I am aware you are not looking for nor do you need my support in this matter but I think your actions have added another layer of integrity to this enterprise. (Bob's Piscatorial Pursuits)

Thank you!

:p to you too Herm

Thanks for the note, Corey and I appreciate it.

It was a tough call for us to do what we did. However, regardless of someone's stance on an issue, there are places like these for discussion of such issues.

People can say what they like about us (we have a pretty thick skin (and good insurance ). There is a ceratin level of integrity that we live by and no one will take that away from us, nor do we plan on deviating from it!

Good luck to you and Wormy!

I'm with ya 100% (well maybe 99.9%) Bob!
