I somehow missed every decent blitz in the spring and summer. kids, ya know. been putting in a lot of hours since the middle of september with little to show for it. damn.

just venting..

Yeah---I watched one fish take about 5 whacks at your plug yesterday, and not eat it. You weren't alone, either. I saw many fish raised, and not a very high pass to hook-up ratio there.

Hope your not seriously hurt Andy. You had a good season and I am glad that I was able to help direct you to this fine website.
I am basically done too...not like I ever really did much this year...but very grateful that I was there for the "EPIC" spring slamfest with Joe & Slip.

Don't believe the hype there are no fish left, I'm remodeling my bathroom starting tomorrow
