Sorry to hear that. My prayers for a full recovery. I had one of those courtesy of my Old English Bulldog a month ago. I have a shattered elbow as a result. I landed feet in the air, on my lower back with my elbow hitting the edge of a tiled step. I consider myself extremely lucky that I don't have the back injury like Gary.

If you read this Gary, here's to a quick and complete recovery bro...

Good job out there Bob! Did you happen to run into any DIRTY SOB's while you were out there?

A little birdy whispered in my ear about a recon trip,

I figured out my impeller was bad, that's why I was stalling. It's a safety deal built into the honda. Good seeing you out there. Nice bag of fish you had. See you after my impeller is back in. Thanks for the tips

. i sat thinking about the text i had got about gary and prayed for his recovery,then one of my bait rods slammed



Thank you for the prayers Bob and for the post dedication....and thank you to all the other considerate anglers out there for the prayers and quick healing wishes....

It's been some ruff days and nights with more pain than I'd care to mention...


Nice work on the feesh....BUT


That kitty looks related to trolly with that gut : )


Ahhhhhh ha ha ha....

ouch...

It hurts when I laugh that hard but I needed a GOOD Laugh...

But....if it's any consolodation...at least I took whopper of the week honors at Gallions 2 weeks in a row before I got laid out...

earning me a nice $200.00 payday for the big fish....
Just enuff to pay for meds ..............

ahhhh hah ha ohhhhhhh ohhhh ahhhhhh ouch....
(don't know how to type that to convey it as "pain")

I miss layin the steel foundation greatly....

As I injured myself out of town...I am currently convalescing at my sisters house in San Dimas

I am counting on all of you to lay some more fish out in my abscence.....


Please make me proud : )


Congrats on the catches Bob : )
