Where are you finding these photographers????? Are any of them sober? There hardly has been a photograph yet from this trip which if doubled in quality would be mediocre, don't you guys want us to see what is going on?
How's the fishing?

I would have to agree with Steve's assesment of the photo's quality. It kinka looks to me like a bunch of spawning walleyes. Are you guys sure you are Muskie fisherman?

sworrall, you are well aware of my ability as a top notch photographer. Next year you all should pay my way to take these pictures for you guys.

Catch A Big One![:bigsmile:]

Daggone! That was the best picture of me that I've seen in 5 years. Good job, guys.
I really want to thank Tony Grant for being such a fine host. He can have my business anytime. What a fine lodge you have! The food was fantastic.
Steve and Jason, great to meet you guys. Sponge, it is always a pleasure, I told Jon what a kick you got out of telling boat stories on him; he'll make the next one.
Mauser, my bro, I can't thank you enough for fishing with me. We'll get one here real soon. Tomyv - thanks for coming along, sorry for the long, slow ride back. I did NOT get your jacket, he says he'll mail it to ya.

hehehe, Notice that I'm right in the middle. Glasses and pretty!![:sun:] What can I say? I had a great time. Pretty slow fishing, but hey, I'm used to these cold fronts following me around![:knockout:] At least I can say the Piginator winner came out of my boat!! Way to go Brad! Landy, maybe now you'll listen a little closer to that boy. He sure called the spot on that one![:praise:]

Trip home was uneventful. Listened to the NASCAR race most of the way. Door to door, 508 miles. Just about 8 hours. We made good time! Missed everybody that didn't make it. Hope to see you all again next spring. Key word..... SPRING!!

Thanks to Steve C, Jason S, Steve W, and especially Tony Grant. What a gracious host, and not a bad wild game cook, either.


Tight Lines,

Shep[:sun:]

Jason took the picture, and the flash worked perfectly. The problem was that everyone was frozen from being on the lake all day, and ANY energy source was immediately absorbed by the subjects and converted to heat energy.[:bigsmile:]

Here's most of the crew on the water on Friday. Missing is GregM, and Teck's boats. They got out so early Friday, they didn't get the message on where to meet. They did make it on Saturday, when we had 11 boats out there, including Tony Grant, who, not to miss a minute of fishing, trolled right up to the mob!!

Oh, yah. Cady is not in the picture either.[:devil:]

Tight Lines,

Shep

Great shot..Shep...that fixed the crook in neck looking at it...LOL[:bigsmile:]

For those that were not there.. we all met at least one time during the day to talk shop on the water.

It's great to see the fellas' on the board. You all must have had a great time. Picture quality is rather poor - however, it does hide the blemishes!!! I noticed when I downloaded the picture that a clock in the room stopped!!

Looks like a TuffyFirst outing.

Actually, the boat break down went like this: Tuffy 2, Crestliner 2, Ranger 2(3 if you count Tony's), Smokercraft 1, Lund 1, Gambler 1, Sprint 1. Did I miss anybody?

This was a MuskieFirst outing, and it had nothing to do with boat make.

As far as picture quality goes, I think the combination of cold camera, and cold operator, conspired to produce the poor quality.[::)] Normally this camera takes pretty good pics. I think there was some fogging on the lens.

Tight lines,
