Wow Nate what's up with that, guys arm not long enough for a decent stiff arm pic, needed a 2nd arm? :-" O:)
Nice fish kzoo - at least you are able to get a few meals on the table while playing hookie!

Hahahaha! We were just playing around, and my camera doesn't go wide angle enough to get a good long arm shot anyways. It was a nice fish though.

I know exactly who youre talkin about. i went for evening and they were still there. those kids would just splash right in and right in front of my float. what really got me was the tweed sportcoat dress shoes and slacks those men wore on the river. i mean im all for the fishin experience....but WHAT? The kicker for me was the 12 inches of electrical tape that was a broken rod repair of some sort he was tryin to pull off. every time he pulled back on the rod it bent at about a sharp 22 degree angle.
hit it or quit it.
