Nice fish Mike.

Here it is in a nutshell..
I always said I am Not a good fisherman.I just try harder than most..
The squeaky wheel gets the grease..
Or something like that..
Nice job Mike..
I wish I had one half of your drive..

rickhern,
That is a very nice compliment to Redlight. Very classy.

Congrats Redlight - memories of that night will carry you a long time.

Great Work Mike, awesome fish!

Outstanding, Mike - perseverance pays off

Congrats on your PB!

I cannot express with words the drive and determination Mike has. He's like the energizer bunny with korkers. Beautiful fish Mike saty on 'em!

Domination takes full concentration..

There are those of us who are just happy to catch and then there are the masters. The guy who truly knows what he's doing and gets it done even in the worst of times.
Not to say I don't like to catch an old fashioned keeper but if a couple of cigars to keep the no-seeums away and a frosty or two as well as a pal to laugh at can be mastered I can fit into that category.
NICEFish and you are one of those guys that separates the men from the boys !
