Thanks for joining the group Tony.  Those are some nice fish in your photos.  Must of been a great time catching them. Keep fishing

Supurb slide show Tony !!Thanks! Fat Gills like that i just dont see and catch!

Hey Tony...I have an idea for an interesting piece for the In Fisherman about 'growing your own' bluegills and hybrids. I would love to include some of your expertise...would you be interested in helping out?

Tony I consider it a privilege. I really don't get out like I want with my circumstances the way they so I'm at the putor a lot and you know there's not a better group of people (fisherpeople) out there who are not selfish with there answers and continue to educate and participate in are discussions. They are the people whom I look up to you included. I've lost more than can be imagined and sometime I feel so left out because of my circumstances but really been so blessed going through life fishing about anytime I pleased and an understanding wife who put up with it so now it's time for me to be there for her but I'm human and I do have pity parties on occasion.  We thought we were home free I had just retired and bang that was an awful day for both of us but you know I'm fortunate I can still help her and that is the true blessing so you see Tony if I can't do it like I use to fishing that is at least I can talk about it that helps. You know I hear some of the things we do to catch fish and it sparks memories I use to do that same stuff but forgotten so I can tell you I'm not remembering some of the things I have learned and I tribute that to me not being very involved like I once was. My inputs are not up to par so my participation suffers so I enjoy the invites providing I don't step on any toes. I hope on my invites I have covered all bases but the most important thing is what a nice group of people here that cover all walks of life and I don't here any bickering no one saying there better than someone else and we all just get along. What a great site and place to be with terrific people.

Getting any rain Tony?

Hi Tony I'm happy to be your friend

Happy to have you for a friend

How's your ice Tony? I'm seeing lots of issues nationally, even deadly!

I didn't think this big warm up would be good especially where some ice has already formed....I don't have to tell you to be careful but I will to satisfy my conscience.....

YUP JEN MASTER COULDN'T AGREE MORE WITH YA ON TONY AND ALL THE MODERATORS AND OF COURSE THE LEADER OF THE BAND, BRUCE !!!!!!!!!!

Tony - do you know how to organize a fly swap?

Welcome aboard Tony. Looks like we are off to a good start. There are so many different units out there with the fisherman in mind. You have the basic finders and of coarse the full blown that have anything you can think of then some. I'm hoping we can learn our finders and their potential.

Thank you Tony and the pleasure's all mine.
