I wanted to say thank you to Larry "Bigfish" Wentworth, "Basic" Patrick, Van and all the rest of the MSBA gang for having me. It was just an awesome weekend. Hope you got a little something from my talk. Too many names to mention but you know who you all are that I thouroughly enjoyed meeting and yakking with. It's nice to be able to sit down with folks of your "own" kind now and then, fishing folk that is. I got to go fishing with Cpt. Roger Jarvis this year. Talk of "too many haddock" makes me

that guy is awesome and still doing it at 72. Speaking of still doing it how about Stan Kuzia, one of the last living legends of the old time bassmen, still fishing at 82 and making plugs again to boot. I hope you had time to talk with him and I think my best memory of the whole weekend was introducing RoyL to Stan. Seeing the old guard and the new exchanging ideas was awesome. Well, now I got to get serious and clean up a lot of tackle to get ready. A month from tomorrow I will be catching Striped Bass and a month goes by really fast. Good luck and tightlines to you all and thanks again for making me part of this past weekend.
