Most likely him. I would always bump into him at Pleasant Street. He had dropped his phone in water that day I saw him. Ruined it. Said his girl was going to kill him.

Congrats and out of curiosity, what did you shoot? I've been thinking about next year, as my handicap is now consistently a 3-4, might be fun to give it a try. |

not boastful... I dont golf ( but know plenty that do) and realize it's an accomplishment. Nice to see something positive instead of doom and gloom! |
A good run is better than a bad stand!

Golf is for quitters, Don.
Just like boat fishing.
Holy Crap, that is really cool, and not very boastful, if you ask me.

Li.fish.Vt: John, you really need to fish more. Stop sitting around all day, wishing you were catching. Honestly, I don’t think you put in enough time...
With that said, hands down one of the most fun seasons I’ve ever had. Barely fished early on with the virus and a certain tackle shop sending the masses to other people’s back yards (literally). Started back up in Aug. Fished all over the place. Learned to accept my limitations. I just can’t wade bubble weed anymore with a knee that’s had 2 ACL reconstructions and a meniscus before the age of 35. Instead I worked with what I could. Couldn’t get in the boulders, so I started fishing spots where they met sand. Very rewarding and so much more enjoyable than constantly watching the horizon to see which roller wants to ruin your night. This allowed me to dial in on what I was doing and the results were very rewarding. This also led to me not fishing my favorite stretch as I took a bad spill back in June. I basically fished what I consider B+ spots. It was fun as hell and they produced like they would’ve back in the early 2000s. Fished with some great people. My circle is as tight as ever. Great fisherman, even better friends. The most epic sunrises and sunsets and that’s saying a lot because if anyone used to follow me on IG they know I’m a light show junkie. Highlight of the year was seeing a white shark from the beach. What a massive beast. Impressive animals. Wild seeing a pyramid move through the water 75 yards off the sand.
I’m done as my finances have been exhausted and there’s no fish left to be caught. (it’s over), but for me, this season was one for the books.... truly a “catching is a bonus” type year.

Even though I snuck up on your and John's fish, it was awesome sharing a tide with you that night. Even though they were smaller fish, we smoked them! |

Thanks! It must be from reeling in all those fish. It certainly isn't from all of the ice cream I've been eating. |

Yeah, that’s a better way of looking at it. 15 to 20 years ago, I went out hoping for keepers. Now, as the years of quality lifetime are dwindling, I just enjoy being OTW, and am glad to catch anything. Heading out this afternoon for a few relaxing hours of C and R on my own pond (without having to worry about missing the Pats game, due to COVID 19).

LOL Not true. Ive been known to pitch or 3 way an eel from time to time, pre-injuries. I enjoy vertical jigging for BSB while waiting for the albies to pop up. But ever since my last surgery, I just feel like a liability. Wouldn't want to ruin someone's day because I couldn't get my legs under me. |

Its been 10 months since the left knee replacement. I say its a 7 on a scale 1-10. Much much better than the old knee. No real pain just dealing with nerve numbness on rt side shin. I also have a slight clicking from under the patella(knee cap). Riding stationary bike 30 minutes a day helps getting the motion. The problem is the left knee needs doing soon. Im nursing it with a series of injections until this covid #^&#^&#^&#^& is over. Other problem is using more of the good knee to help the left one.
Rock hopping is basically a thing of the past. Hope to fill the void with beach fishing next year and maybe some easy shore formation. At 70 I still want to 50 or 49. LOL.

What it looks like. Had it done in 2017. Walking 4-5 miles a day now. Wish I had a little more flexibility but relatively pain free. 1975 football injury, had a substantial piece of the cartilage removed. Ground it to dust before I went for it.

That x-ray tech sucked... And I am being quite serious. The pics don't show any spacing between the tibia and femur.
Here's my xray set. I will spare you the stapled shots...

My new surgeon thinks I’ll be replacing the replacement sooner than later.
Can’t wait

Haven’t had full replacement but had acl with a hamstring graft four years ago at 34 years young. I’m not a small guy but I’m active had a decent recovery but took a few years to feel comfortable enough to walk on bowling balls all night or stand on a rock getting beat up by waves. On my feet all day by profession but I think the body in motion stays in motion keep building muscle strength around the weak points

Tore my ACL skiing when I was 37. Ended my running career; took to biking after that. Started fishing a lot when I couldn’t run or play basketball any more.

I am most fortunate and grateful that my left knee is in excellent shape and shows great spacing between the bones. (See x-ray) My first surgery for torn ACL was September 1975.So that left knee has carried the load for 45 years before the TKR.
I have accepted that this is likely a two year recovery to see what my maximum gain will be. So that puts me into Memorial Day 2021. I am grateful to be walking, working, and making the most of what we have while waiting for 2020 to pass.
My apologies for the hijack of the Fall Run thread. I miss the old days running up and down beaches chasing blitzing bass and blues... Many an afternoon there would be guys in business suits, dashing barefoot into the mayhem, rods in hand, during their commute home.
The knee replacement deserve its own thread, if only for those who might be on their way to considering having such a procedure. As Clammer says, appreciate what you have... in this case, your mobility. |

Yep. I can already feel it. Subconsciously compensating for/protecting the injured knee.
