I would like to extend a personal apology to Earl Klund and to the St Croix Forum users. I made a stupid mistake in my posting a thread on the Beanies River Rat Forum post by posting a picture of Earl that was uncalled for. I don’t know Earl Klund, I just pulled the picture off the Beanies website to make my point on the thread. I did not intend for it to be a personal attack on any person and if it was perceived that way I apologize. Earl is well known and respected on the St Croix forum and I did not mean to tarnish his reputation or challenge his conduct in any way. The handling of that fish was common practice at that time and he was following the procedures for registering a fish that he was proud of. It won him the contest. The last thing I want to do is diminish something that he should be proud of. Earl – I apologize.
I’m having a bad day all around. I’ve been trying to clean up my thread and in the process deleted the entire Beanies River Rat Tourney post. Now I have to figure out how to fix that too.
To the St Croix forum users I don’t want to create any more tension for our forum. I wish I had not ever posted but I’m a little late for that. I apologize to all of you and promise to clean up my act. I need to get up and walk away from the computer a little more often.
Now I’ll go and try to fix the Beanies River Rat Tourney posting.
