I was greeted with a bodacious welcome from Billres.....feelin better already.....quickly followed up with a quick visit to the little boys room and returned to find slowpoke himself.....yup ole' Riverman finally came strollin in after his scenic ride
we quickly got checked in and headed to the trophy water....I said aloud to Blake...." God just give me one decent fish and I'll go home happy" .....well my prayer was answered ....I got one fish
the beat Riverman put me on.....
the hook up.....
and the fish....
We returned to find more arrivals....and spent a good portion of the evening tying and laughing.....and just havin' a good time.
Yup....sure was good to see smiling faces again!
Friday we went to the Tuck....the water had cleared up....So Blake,Josh and I went to work....Blake reported about 22 fish....I got about 10 or 11...and Josh got 4 .....( maybe Josh was just trying to make me feel good????.....maybe I had the secret weapon!!
)
AHHHHH the Atomic worm strikes again...and again...and again...and again....LOL
I also caught a few on my tues night crackleback
.....Blake...I got some pictures to show you.....
We headed back to camp and warmed up with a big ole' plate of chili pusghetti
......more good laughs!!
Jack...doin what he does best!!!

Schmoodaddy...good to see ya again!
"What do they call you on the forum??"......"they call me.....Huck"

Friday was followed up with more tying...the headquarters...
Saturday was a day of rest
..... and an awesome fried turkey thanks to Pcole and fixins by PHG....I'll be on the road during thanksgiving this year...so I appreciate the turkey dinner!!
Another night of laughs .....got up Sunday and had Goetta and eggs...and cleaned and packed.....Blakey got ready for fishin....and grabbed a snack of ice cream.....( look real close at the bottom of his hand....thats a flashdancer stuck to his hand!! I swear the man has flies and hooks everywhere!! )
We followed him down to the trophy section....where we figured we would heckle him and throw rocks at him....
but after two fish in about 5 minutes....and the second being at least 18...maybe 20 inches....its hard to come up with insults
....here he is hooked up with a nice one....I hope Josh got a nice shot of the fish....
It was so nice to see everyone again....it had been way too long !! Hopefully I will make more shows this year.
