I posted this in the "winter get to gather" thread, but I will post it here as well.
Just got home and had a great time and enjoyed meeting everyone. I just waned to take a minute and say thanks to Elwood and Steven and all of the others that donated to this event. It was very well run and a great time. I caught my first Smallie from Dale for proof that there are actually fish in that lake that I can catch.

Red Skeeter,
Thanks for letting me fish with you on friday! Sorry I gave you the green fish jig!

Boone,
Thanks for taking my brother and me out. Hopefully we can fish togather again this year.
