I had a great time tonight!
Good food, lots of laughs, I won a few real nice prizes from the big raffle, including a nice 9ft.custom rod (with reel) built by Mike cc.
Maybe I'll be able to get out with a few surf guys here to break it in this coming season !

:btu:
Yep it was a good time
John did a fine job running it.

Nice winning there Ronnie

:kewl:

I thought for sure Vectorfisher was going to be there wearing his Steelers superbowl champ gear !!!
He should have got the award for
"hopelessly rooting for the wrong team"
for that crappy super bowl! :hihi:

Your right Ron..VF should have gotten it...:D

Your right Ron..VF should have gotten it...:D

Go for the 3 pete.....:beat:


It's no coincidence that i've got 2 in a row,
and my team has had Kerry (I throw off my back foot) Collins throwing the ball for us, mostly to the other teams secondary players !!!:crying:

sorry, ron, i wasnt there because i had a previous engagement with my friends. glad that u won something.

Everybody who didn't go missed Clammers butt. A couple of guys behind me, I dont know who they were, were getting all worked up over Clammer sasheying up to JR like he did "dropped trou".

Yup, Mikey and I had a great time, too.
This is the first year I can remember making it to the afterhours gym party, man my knees are shredded from the drunken elliptical machine.
Mikey and I left some stuff at the VFW, too, if anybody lives close or talks to Greg today!!!
If anybody stayed next door to us in 139, sorry for wrestiling at 6am this morning!!!:bshake:
Rick

You 2 are insaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnne:spin:

Good morning everyone :hihi:


I stumbled through it last night but I want to say it again – Thanks for being the great group of anglers and friends that you are. Great to see a lot of new people and for once, to see both Bombas make it through to the end of the night. I can't thank you all enough for coming last night and for being the community we have here at S-B. I also want to thank those in the room next to me at the Holiday Inn that sounded like they were trying to crack the locks on both doors in my room at 2:30, 5:30, and when I finally woke sometime around 8 :hihi:

Again, I would like to thank all those that came to TFCTFN, donated prizes, brought grub,roasted Clammer, and a big round of thanks to Katie and Red for manning the door and reminding me WTH I was to do next (soliciting voluntary MCs for next year :eek5: ). I also want to thank those that posted pictures over the past year that I absconded and turned into that quick slide show. Some great memories from the past year and I easily could have added 3 times as many pictures...

Here is a list of those that donated last night:

Avemaria Charters

I also wish to offer my thanks to the folks at the Connecticut Surfcasters Association that made a donation to S-B as well, Thanks !

Damn.
