    March 13-17 it is Geo, Diehard IU fan, Me, Diehard UK fan and Parker wants to go, Diehard Louisville fan. Can you imagine the number of "Accidental Sidearm Cast" made in that boat? I may take my FNF rod rigged with 1 1/2 oz Carolina Rig just to try and whack 2 birds with one cast. These 3 in the boat spending 4 days together would make the world rotate backwards on its axis.

    You're gonna be ready to come to come out swinging.

    To me those are some of the most important steps to catching fish.

    ANY TIME...........I don't like his politics but I'd do just about anything to spend some time with him. He IS the most powerful man in the world and the president of the united states.

    Anyone here who says, they'd turn down face time, is more than likely a LIAR.

    Can't drink any alcohol. 28 prescription pills a day and alcohol not a good recipe.

    Make sure your fish scale works. I plan on needing to use it a time or two.

    Cool

    About 95% sure I can make it. Blood river is fine with me. Maybe "he" has forgot about us and we can re-introduce our self. Only problem is this time we will have a "hoosier" in the boat so I hope we don't need any help.
