The fingers have thawed and the brain cleared to some degree so I will say again that I had one of the best times of my fishing life this past weekend. It was great to meet and fellowship with everyone there. It is true Mike Willey and I became great friends. His friendship I will treasured. I just hold his involvement in the Log Salmon trick on me against him. He just enjoyed that way too much. I thought Elwood would pop a hernia on me from laughing too hard. When Elwood gets you down, he keeps his big foot on you until you can't breathe. To take advantage of good net man is way too low I think. When I fish with him again, I may hold that trophy fish for ransom and watch him sweat a little. Again, I learned a lot from Elwood. He pays attention to the least little detail when he fishes, and it is that detail that puts fish in the boat more than not. As far as Steve's talk, what can one say. He knows his stuff, and it was a pleasure to listen to him and to everyone else who shared their skills. In closing, I will treasure all of Elwood's crazy jokes and funny stories that only he can tell. I personally have seen how hard it has been for him to be in the hospital all of the days for all of those surgeries, not being able to do what he loves best, and he still makes people laugh and cares for them. And also, I think you can tell how much he loves his family. Thanks again Elwood for all your effort and time to make this past week such a memberable experience for all of us. Bonefish
