Don't know that I can add more than everyone else, except to say.
JP, good job. I know you put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears trying to get the gang to the launch and dinner squared away.
For those who caught the muskies (and you know who you are), way to friggin go!!!! A special congrats to the muskie virgins. As most now realize, while they look a little like pike ... they ain't pike
I see Snag's got her new avatar. Hopefully Steve G can get his updated too.
And as for Bobber and Fish-Hawk in particular, there ain't no mistaken that you guys know your skis. Folks, these boys are humble and under-stated, but make no mistake, they can fish.
As for RUK and me, well, we knew we were destined to fail. Reason being, we were too prepared. We had a craddle, and a camera, and all the right gear. Kind of like jinxing yourself. Thanks for a great day on the water non-the-less. There ain't no mistaking the hysterical laughter at the end of a long day as you listen to the sounds of 9 inch shark (sucker minnow) slap the water cast after cast.
Nice to meet some new faces and reacquaint myself with the others. Sorry I did not get to spend more time mingling at the dinner.
For those who attended the apres muskie do party, thank you very much for coming. Great stories with great company. And I feel vindicated for erecting (tee hee) the giant tarp, even if only for a few intermittent showers. The fire was hot and the company top notch. You have not lived till you have heard FloatFishing talk of his great adventures.
And thanks so much to Markus and Pink Lady, and the girls for making the long trek down. We had a fantastic time!. Can't wait to do it again real soon.
Another great get together.
M.T. Livewell
We did'nt even rise one
