Re-Hash this thread...

I wish I could get winter-time yeller/wsb out of my head, but come November, I am Haunted!!!!:farmer:

I can not remember every fish I have caught..., but I vividly remember EVERY fish I have lost. Kelp = POP, Kelp = POP, Kelp = POP, Kelp = POP, (Dan catches several YT, I see about 1,000 below my yak) Bad Knot = POP,\ Kelp= POP, Bad Knot = POP, Light line = POP, Light Line POP, Set the friggen hook you friggen girl...

You Know how it goes. Either way, wintertime yellers haunt my dreams/nightmares.
Solid Fish John:cheers1:
Now if I could only get your BT smilie out of my nightmares.....

So I think I've got a new plan. Sometimes it seems that it's faux pas to post a report. People get mad with too little info, or too much info. Dammed if you do, dammed if you don't, which is funny, because it appears that not many pople actually read the reports anyways. On the other hand, not reading fishing reports get a little boring as well. Inspired recently by Iceman, I think you can really get alot of bang for your buck by just digging up an old report and bringing it to the top again. If you are feeling a little down, dig up one of your own reports and you'll get plenty of "Nice Fish" and these :cheers1:. If you feel like giving some kudos, find a good report from a friend and make it new again. But, what ever you do, under no circumstances, NEVER reming Grego that he caught a halibut a few months back... You will never hear the end of it, I swear

Now all I need is a good code group...:rolleyes:

But, ya know anyway, in my book, :you_rock: brotha...
