    If he’s placed in the nut tree…

    What can I say…she was great! It was emotional! It was almost a religous experiance…

    Nice fish – Brian. Now I want you to apply all this new found knowledge to figuring out this St Croix bite.

    Wow, she looks bigger than 13#.
    I do notice your left arm stretched out a bit towards the camera.
    Nothing wrong with that though. Nice fish.

    I need to be taking photo advice from you… If someone gave me an over/under on that fish of 15 lbs, I would’ve lost some serious cash.

    Nice get Brian. You coming down to fish Coralville? A friend’s father-in-law is coming up in early August and we’re going to take a day off and have a heat-of-summer cat adventure, probably do some jugging, some beer drinkin’, and maybe even some tubing. I’ll look up the dates and let you know when.

    Now that’s funny! I was using the timer on the camera and trying to stand up holding my babe the “right” way. After two complete misses, I turned my head lamp on, sat my down in the chair, pressed the timer and picked her up… The lens on my “fishing” camera turns all the way around..when I see my headlamp at the top of the viewing window…I’m set..most of the time.

    I really can’t give you much of the story…it’s kind of a private thing…between me and her…I don’t want her to lose respect for me.

    All I can say is that when I pulled up to the snag…I was so confident that I got the camera ready. I knew she was under there….we were one

    Almost forgot! Gianni!?

    TUBING!! How big do those cat’s get down there!!!

    August is a close to filled month…but let me know the dates…I would like to fish in a state that you can do anything in….I’ll bring the strong beer!

    He’s coming up the week of the 15th. If I remember right, I have a trip to LA later in the month, but I don’t think it’s going to overlap.

    Anyone who wants to come south and join us is welcome, I’ll put up more details when it gets nearer.
