appreciate the kind comments. last year left a job that i really felt dedicated to in order to have more recreational time. kinda felt selfish doing it with the line of work i am in but it has been better for my relationship with the family and also allowed more fishing time. i have always wanted to learn Big C and as you are aware it is a huge lake. i have been fortunate to know some fine fishermen here and they have taught me alot. i will continue to photograph when i can as i enjoy sharing the joy of fishing with any and all interested. best of luck. hope to be back on water next week.
