Hard to believe

It's hard to believe that this site has been around for 6 years now
I've seen it grow from the beginning and it is nothing short of amazing how an intenet fishing community can make such a difference in so many peoples lives. I know I have learned a great deal from all of you and caught many more fish than I would have if it wasn't for this site.
Great job JohnR on your successful site!!
And Thank you

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Ditto, Slip. Can't add to that!

I know I'd still be blundering about when it comes to turning and plugging if it weren't for what I've learned here. Great foundation!!!!

Thanks guys! It has been a pleasure (most of the time ).

And I owe it to all of you. You are the people that define our community. If you have learned from S-B, then the late nights have been worth it. If you have met people you otherwise would not have and have become life long freinds, that makes it worthwile even more... A lot of things can be said, but nothing holds a candle to good camamraderie among fishers... I can't thank all of you enough for giving me freinds that I will like and respect for decades to come

I also saw that I hit 15000 posts, I've been trying to go slow so BigFish can catch up

Yea thanks alot.

Way too much time spent here during the workday.

I'd probably be a millionaire if you didn't start this site.

Thanks
