Hey Greg, yea the little one has been keeping me busy for the past month. Got him a brand new shimano combo for his one month old b-day...haha I might have to break it in for him. I heard about the lower unit job you did, that bites. But I see insurance paid for it. Just had liability on mine so yea the lower unit still isn't fixed...that 2 grand on a lower unit would sure buy alot of diapers and that is what its going to. Glad the surgery went well and hope you get to feeling better. I'm sure the little time you will suffer now will be well worth it in the end.

Hey Brian, thanks for letting me know. I just called down there, and they confirmed I got 2nd place and third place overall for angler of the year, thier mailing me the trophy. Poor Cody dropped to 7th and out of the money which ####, he was going in at second place. I am just totally pumped and glad to pay off some of my loans with the money. Won't be fishing it next year. I'll probably stick with BFL and I think me and Cody are going to check out the Plapp's tournaments, heard nothing but good things on this trail. Well keep in touch man, your definately a first class guy! Anytime you want to go fishing let me know. Oh yea I think I got your blue lighter, guess we got to meet up and go fishing huh? haha

Take'er easy you all.

Eric
