I'm with Will Shultz. Steelheading is where I try to spend my time. I fish from either a drift boat on smaller rivers, or a jet-sled on the St. Joes and Manistee.

Jerome,
I had open heart surgery for a valve repair over a year ago. Not the best thing I have ever had done, but not that bad either. All I can tell you is to take your time getting back from the procedure. When they tell you it will be 6 to 8 weeks till your
back, believe it, don't rush it. Use the breathing device as much as you can. Get a good Lazy Boy chair or a ton of pillows, as you cant sleep on your stomach or side for a good period.

Good Luck

Flint,

Thanks for the advice.

It's been 30 days now and I feel better today than I have for the last 2 years.

The Doc already took me off of blood thiner, so thats good.

I started back traveling (sales & estimating) so im in Hibbing Mn. untill Fri. than next week I go to Indiana and Ohio than back to N.Mn untill Feb.5.

After that I'm headed to Cave Run for a week or so, but I really am taking it easy compaired to what I usually do.

Later, Jerome

Love cooking & fixing up the house in the winter. I'm giving a shot at baking pastries & cakes, but having some difficulties. Had to chuck the last batch of pastry dough. Too much butter & it just melted into a puck. Need to stay at it & get my moms recipies down pat before she's gone. At 74 she is still one of the best cooks on the planet & I have been fortunate to dine in some of the worlds best restaurants. She should have followed her passion & opened her own.

Homemade Pizzas tonight & the kids love to help. Watching a 4 year old spin the dough in the air with a smile on his face from ear to ear is priceless.. He's getting better at it & it keeps him busy.

Had to join the local YMCA so I don't get fat. Great idea & love playing basketball with my sons. What a great place for the whole family to get out of the house & run around. Fun to watch the wife on the tred mill too... I keep telling her to take off her sports bra & she keeps telling me I'm a perve... Nothing's changed!

I fish for these.... they may "just be a bass" to most of you but they crush big baits.

The muskie off season is a great time to do some ice fishing, rabbit hunting, coyote hunting, spend way too much money at the shows, and do a few wood burning projects. The wood burning is kind of nice when its in the negatives outside and the fire inside is nice and warm!

Ice fishing has been fantastic this year but my ice time has been limited. Jason and I have been editing away and we're almost done with season 1. Sarah has had a lengthy to do list in our new house seeing that I was on the water everyday since we bought it. Almost done cleaning the basement. Boat will be in the water in 4 weeks.

What off season? Fish from March to December and inbetween work sports shows, do sponsorship items, book guide trips, basicly make sure that the ducks are in a row for the season so I can attempt to make 200 days on the water.

I play raquetball at least 3 times a week for about 2hrs+ a shot. Also a dart player. I won about $2500 playing at tournaments last year.

Outside of M1st stuff (shows, contests, chat season that I still need to set up), I'm actually excited to be playing volleyball again. I played in highschool, then a little in college and a ton out on the beach. Picked it up again about 4 years ago, hurt my leg really badly and finally forced myself to get back into it now (before I'm just too #*^@ old) and not worry about another injury. So, 3 league teams and Sunday morning open gyms, I'm a little IN to it again. BUT, I'm still 34 years old, still not in shape, and still 20+lbs from my "fighting weight". SO, I am again in the gym, lifting weights, riding the bike, skipping rope (I actually DO have the dexterity of a Ninja, just not at 240lbs) and trying to get back into running.

Why am I rambling? Sorry.
