Please note that the measuring tape is being pulled tight so's not to add to it's true length. Also ... this fish was released in order to allow it to continue to breed and to help repopulated it's species.

Dano the ol' mano SWATO still got the slayo ........... nicely done Sir, way to ring that bell my friend.......

[bones]

Mmmmm...Let me see....That's two legals in three days during the coldest snap in over a year. I'm kinda thinking that the Danimal has some kind of pact with Poseidon these days!

Good job as always Dan. A big congrats on your slayage. You are living proof that determination and using all of the knowledge you have gained over the last 4 years pays off.
Good thing you don't take vacations that often or the rest of the guys on the leaderboard will not have a chance in 2015!

P.S.

An extra thanks to you and Rhonda for the beautiful and thoughtful birthday card my friend!

Take care and Happy New Year to you sir!

Hi brother Dan:

It's been real fun for the last couple of weeks reading so many amazing fish reports from you. And to start out 2015 right where you left off 2014 frankly is no surprise given how hard you are working it - you deserve the success my friend.

I'm looking forward to what 2015 has in store for you and if this is any indication its gunna be fantastic.

Keep em' coming:Razz:

All the best to you,

Nick
