Good to see everything went well elwood, and don't worry May is just around the corner and there are a whole lot of brownfish to be caught then. We'll save you the big one and I'm sure chunknwind will gaurd your honeyholes closely. Speedy recovery to ya.

Hey mate: Hope the recovery goes well for you. That blackberry works good. Take is easy and let everthing heal up.

I don't have a clue if this is working or not but some people will do anything for some fishin. Com time. I am posting from my new Blackberry phone and don't have a clue if it is working. Long story short, I sneeze Monday at 2pm and feel my whole insides rip apart. Off to the hospital in Boonville In I go to spend the night. My wife brings me to Lexington St Joe on Tuesday morning. 3 hour surgery with 8 different cuts on my abdomen, with largest 5 coming in at a little over 19 inches(ha ha). Lots of Delautid for pain and here I am hoping to get released tomorrow to ride 200 miles back to hoosierland. Hopefully this hernia repair is for keeps with a piece of titanium coated mesh permanently applied to my insides. 3rd hernia in 3 years, 16 different admissions into St Joe and 8 total surgeries since 1997 is plenty for one person. Thanks for all kind words from all but I am done fishing for anything until probably May 2007. Somebody go catch a brownfish for me and if it is on the fly then all the better. Gotta go for last round of pain medicine is kicking in and off to dreamy land I will be.

Thanks again for the support and ask Chunknwind about his shirt that I got for him.

Billy I appreciate you stopping by this morning and manning the trolling motor for about an hour or so. My guess is that is as close to FNF or a big old Brownfish I will be for at least 3 months. Enjoy the get together and I would have loved to participate in the fish off in March but I really don't think it will work. 4 weeks is no where near enough to recover when he is telling me 12 weeks based on past history. Sorry about missing it but it was a pleasant suprise to see you this morning. Looking forward to sharing a boat with you some day.

Richie, I would have been the first passenger in Cliff's new ride if it had been delivered in December as originally promised or even January for that fact but since he still does not have it and we are now into February someone else will have to be his first passenger. I bet it is still 50/50 if he gets it before May when we have a couple of weeks planned for Ky Lake.

Sorry to dissapoint you but my Blackberry is tied to Cingular, which I can't get any service within 7 miles of the lake anywhere. Verizon is the ticket if you want service on the lake.
