Stevie VS connects

After putting in a 13 hr. shift here at the shop good friend, Steve McK (Van Staal), had enough steam left to hit the suds last night. He popped in this morning with a phat 37lb. honey. An eel is all I know

Catch'em up,

Hey TC - Geez, just left the shop, I never heard that one

Ya know, I was gonna stock up on those Senko's until I realized all I had was $3 in cash, my checkbook and had left the CC at home - oh, and no tokens in the Jeep so I had to save $2 for the bridge

But 37# on an eel for Stevie, huh -

HEYYYYYY-OOOOOO

I love fat girls - there, I said it.

Hey, that's the nice thing about being shorter than the guy you fish with - it always makes your fish look bigger

Of course, you also don't want to use Steve as a depth gauge either - when I used to fish with Uncle Zeke he'd be wading up to his chest and my hat was just about ready to float

Nope. (Unless you count the dinks and small bluefish that moved in since...)

Overall very slow
