The special edition Brett Olson Lures are cool.

Im starting to get the idea, Musky fishing is Mike's full time job... Might have to help Mike build a new wall to put his accomplishments on. I bet it over a thousand inches total.

Great job you guys.

Thanks Jani for getting those pictures posted, we've been waiting impatiently to see all those smiling faces. Those are sure big trophies that Mike got. Thanks for fixing such a nice plaque for Bill, the Fed Ex guy delivered it today. He is hanging it on the wall in his fishing room. He was very surprised to learn that the club had given him the Sportsman of the Year award as he thinks there are many in the club that deserved it.

Glad you liked them, Rosann and Congrats to Bill!
Yes, the trophies are fantastic and what every esox angler deserves after putting in the hours needed to be good at the sport, eh? They were used for the PMTT, too!

Thanks for the link. The price seems good. I'll have to get one.

Congrats to everyone, one heck of a crew we have. Sure looking forward to getting back with you guys.

Rumor has it that Su and the boys may attend the April meeting for the big raffle. I figure that way I'll get her to buy some more tickets and I'll just take her winnings when I get home. I'll keep you posted.

Nice to see bruce again too,

Thanks.

That would be nice, but after being gone for a year I'm not sure how much time that wife and boys are going to allow...LOL

We'll see.

No problem, Norm. I plan on teaching Su how to fish AND run your boat so we are going to stealing it out from under you all the time.

[Dex]

But I want her to catch fish too......LOL

Couldn't let this go....

I don't know Norm, from my experience once you teach your significant other how to fish, they will catch more and bigger fish than you every time!! She still brags about it!!:-"
