I know, I know.....get a life! I am on here alot! I wanted to reflect a little on what I have gained from my time here at S-B and I want to thank JohnR for this site! 2003 seems like a million years ago.....I have made alot of wonderful friends here......met alot of terrific people and I am very thankful for knowing each of you! I sure have learned alot since joining S-B! I have improved my fishing skills thanks to the help of many, and I learned how to make plugs from the many generous folks who were so giving with their help and insight and I want to thank you all for that! I hope I have contributed at least as much as I have received from my time here! My favorite part of this site is getting together with as many of you as I can be it while fishing, at PlugFest, or just running into you when we are all scrambling to find fish.....its always great seeing you! Lastly......I have lost a few friends while I have been here.....I miss them as we all do. John Habs and Steve Shiraka.....all I can say is what a pleasure it was to have known them and it was all because of S-B.

Its great to have people to laugh and enjoy life with....and it is nice to know we can cry on each others shoulders when the going gets tough.
Thanks to you all and my best to you this upcoming season!
