The nicest, most mellow Christmas with family and friends ever.

The Kids chipped in and Got me the Entire Monty Python's Flying Circus on DVD...16 dvd set of every episode ever....Say.........No...........More.

Got Zeno's new book autographed.....will be reading that this weekend..

Got a Coffee Grinder and a new French Press.

Got a stocking Redlite would have appreciated....wife threw in about a dozen of those 6-hour energy shots in it, along with some Ice fishing cleats and Jigs

Sounds like Santa was good to everyone this year. I got a new Diawa Emblem to go on a pole I'm wrapping this winter for the ditch, a bunch of salty's kits, and air compressor and air brush, new headlamp, some power pro, and a garmin gps. Non-fishing related, I got tix to two Bruins games.

Great Christmas....I'm very thankful. I had a great day and I hope everyone else did too. Now...time to get drunk.

VEGA DUPLICATOR!!!!! Can't wait to make some saw dust!!!!!! Hopefully I can get to the plugfest!

Me and my son got to spend it with my Mom and Dad in FL..Going fishing now..Gonna be 80 today..

Nice copper bass, Rosco - :kewl:

It's really gonna look great when it ages with that patina copper takes on -

My favorite gift was a Keurig coffee-maker - damn, it makes a great cup of coffee individually...just fired it up with some pretty robust Newman's Own...

Gotta have good starter fluid to get me going in the morning...:uhuh:

19" flat screen tv for the bedroom and Ugg boots to keep my bad foot nice and warm! BTW, if you haven't tried these things on, please do so. They are the Van Staal of boots!

We got ourselves a new HP computor. Also a new puppie. It is now a 20 # golden that my wife calls Bella and I call hooligan. I forgot what it was like to have a puppie with a "tude" around the house.

Then I vivsited Mom who has had some health problems, we made her day. Then I went to see my brother SKD and watched him suffer on the couch with out for awhile. He'll survive though. It was a great day.

I can relate to that. You can pick your friends but you can't pick your family. Wife gave our family a cruise to the Caribbean in March.

Got one too Crafty, best gift I ever got!!

If you can't go Paul just let me know and I will step up for ya !:jump:

Man I wish I had your money :shocked:

1...I got to spend tiem with both Wendy's Family & my own
2...I got continue my personal tradition to give some time to serve others at an event where people struggling to overcome substance abuse can gather to be "safe" for the holiday.A copy of The Striped Bass Chronicles
3...Some of those nice big and warm Remmington socks for under the Waders
4...A new Travel Mug with BasicPatrick engraved on it
5...A Patriots Scarf
6...Some $$ so me and the honey can do a Celtics Game and add more to the "Traveling Surfcaster" Fund

Do they provide an expense stipend for the Traveling Surfcaster column? I always found that writing anything that required travel was a losing proposition.

GSB 1202M blank, wonder what I do with a stick with no guides on it? sweeeeet

My wife and I met Mike Fixter in Ca. in Oct. She tracked him down and got me a pickie and a cigar. I can't wait till they can see water.

Smart woman. She knew not to mess with plugfest.

:biglaugh: Not my money. I'm poor. I just hope she keeps sharing.

I was going to say that it was copper with a patina fnnish.. that was made by hammering a sheet of copper into a wooden form that is the rough shape of the bass, then all of the details are hammered in with different shaped tools... Its called 'chasing' Nice specimen :heybaby:

I want one of these for Christmas-

Can you guess who this guy's son is??? :rtfm:
