Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | I got a new game processing free standing saw/grinder from Keith and Brian. It has everything I need to do a professional job putting up my wild game. Sue got me a new absolutey loaded Media Center Dell XPS Pentium M 17" screen Laptop for my OutdoorsFIRST work (smoking fast processing photos for the websites!) which I am using to post this message. A portable drill, some gloves, a couple flashlights, that about rounds it out.
Best gift for me was having my sons, daughter in laws, and grandsons here this morning.

Triple D
Big Joe
Windell's Rattle Snack
2- Lindy's M&G's
The best was all the help , information and new friends aquired over the last year from this website. All of you have made it much easier to get back into Muskie fishing after being away from it for fifteen years. Thank You Chris |

| I got a digital camera that takes stills and Video Clips with a portable Compact Photo Studio. Pretty cool because I can review the clip frame by frame and pick out a photo to save or print.
The only thing missing is the timer so I can't take pics of myself, but if I have someone in the boat, the Video Clip option will be nice to ensure some great pics of the catch and release......"The hell with the net, grab the camera!" I guess that my wife was fed up with me putting in a new roll of film only to pull it out and get it developed after I took 4 pictures on a weekend.
I also got a very happy 9-year old daughter and a confused 6 month old lab.
Nothing fishing-related, I guess that I've limited out.

Seems that there is more to the menu when you start scrolling through it a little bit
I should have gotten coal anyway.

| I got 5 Nitro's by H2O Tackle in all the best colors,(according to some very qualified people).
A secret bait guaranteed to catch 'em by H2O.
A hat to wear in all of the photos that these baits will produce, Thanks Roger!
A spool of 80lb Power Pro that is getting hard to find.
A beautiful hand made oak rod rack that my Father made for me, it holds 10 musky rigs easily. Now I have an excuse to buy a few more rods to fill it up. |

Location: north central wisconsin | Got a couple customs from Rylure that are the sweetest topwater creations that I've ever laid my eyes on. WOW!!!
Steve, you'll be sure to like that globe. I have a couple of them that I helped him design, and they are really sweet runners. He is making some neat creepers now too. The one thing I did, was add a slightly larger front hook to the non spreader hook designs. If yours has square tubing, as mine do, you won't want to leave it on the fireplace!!
Jason, you will love those Nitros!!

Not new but two good looking Calcuttas and a bunch of Triple D's were waiting at my desk this morning too.. Don't know how much longer I can hold out not being able to use this stuff....
Oh yeah, and about 10 extra lbs to the waist!! Can't fit my favorite jeans on anymore, does that mean I'm gonna have to start exercising??!!!
