ACTUALLY my dad passed 12 years ago on the 17th of this month and now they are both gone to a better place. I'm off my game right now and will catch some fish soon and do some pics I hope. Thanks again .

Comment by dick tabbert on May 9, 2012 at 7:20pm: David, Linda and I are so very sorry and send you our sympathy . I know she will be missed hope your dad is OK It is a pretty traumatic thing to loose a loved one after being with that loved one for so long. You and your Dad will be in our prayers.

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on April 17, 2012 at 4:35pm: We're both Jeffrey anyway....my dad is a great fisherman and a better man! Thanks Tooty!

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on April 17, 2012 at 4:27pm: I'm old, feeble , and can't distingwish between father and son I guess Jeffrey!!!!!!! Still a nice pic though and bet you were proud of the fish and boat!!

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on April 17, 2012 at 4:19pm: My dad will appreciate the compliment Tooty...LOL..Both pictures are my dad back when he purchased that Skeeter....

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on April 17, 2012 at 3:52pm: Hey JEFFERY,

YEP THAT STUFF DOES LAST A LONG TIME IF MAINTAINED, JUST LIKE OLD WONDERODS DO ALSO!!! NICE BASS in the pic and bet he was fun back in the day!! You look somewhat younger in the pics Jeffrey and even now time has treated you well.

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on April 16, 2012 at 6:44pm: This Skeeter SD 80 was brand new in 1988 and the first big bass caught out of this boat is pictured.....We have put some fish in this boat through the years, Bass, Crappie and Gills...24 years in the family and I just fished comfortably several times last month on my trip to Louisiana...They'll last a long time when you take care of them......

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on March 30, 2012 at 2:26pm: HEY FOLKS,

THE GILLS AND REDEARS ARE starting to come in, down in southern Illinois so I'll be gone from Sunday till maybe late next week. If I don't answer emails etc. that's why. Not trying to slight anyone or anything and hopefully will have a few pics to share!
