While I do not see any joy in your losing the "dream fish", it is nice to know (since I have it happen all the time to me) that even Pro's lose them once in a while. And for the record, I put you in that group ABOVE the "pro's" we watch on the TV. They can all fish, no doubt, but many of them are just using the information provided to them by, the REAL pro's in my opinion, you guides that work the lakes daily. It still takes skill to do what they do, but I would LOVE to see you throw in on a BIG tourney on KY Lake and SMASH some of the ego's I see. It might actually humble some of these guys who have lost sight of the "grass roots anglers" come back down to earth and share time with us that support their living. Just my two cents though. Hope you get that one back Dave, if anyone deserves it, its elnut...I mean YOU
