My friend Woody was a great guy. It was an honor and pleasure sharing a boat with him. It was even better to say that I was his partner when we won the "Billy"! He will be missed by many. I have never knew anybody that put as much thought into fishing as he did. Its untelling how good of a fisherman he would have been if he would have had the chance to spend more time on the water. I met Woody because of this forum and by just a chance of luck. I don't know how many of you guys remember the "Secret Santa" thing he did about 10 years ago. Well I got his name and sent him a few things along with a note. I asked him if he would take me float n fly fishing on Dale. I told him I would pay for everything if he would take me for a few days. After some convincing he agreed and January 1st 2009 within 5 minutes of daylight he had caught 2 smallies over 21in. One was 4lb 15oz and the other was 5lb 1oz. The next day and a half of fishing was amazing. We had 6 overs in 2 days and probably close to 40 fish total. You name it and we talked about it that day. From that weekend on I considered him one of my good friends! RIP my friend and thanks for everything!
