GGGGGGGGEEZ KEITH THANKS FOR THE KIND WORDS BUDDY!!!!  YUP on meeting the new guys this year at Rendezvous again . Can't wait myself both for the fishing and some warmer weather......

Comment by Keith Ritter on January 19, 2016 at 7:53pm

Thanks for the kind words Tooty. If you dish it out you have to take it. This guy Tooty is a fly tying wizard, he makes it look so darn easy. He is so nice you would think he is from the South. I will never forget these first two Rendezvous and I can't wait to meet the new guys  this year. If you can't make it to Tennessee try and get together with someone in your area you won't regret it.

YA KNOW FELLAS looking back at last years fishing it was a bust, but one of the best years I ever had.....

  Ya ask how could it be a bust and a good year all at the same time ? Well I got to meet a bunch of nice guys at "RENDEZVOUS" first off and the highlight of the trip wasn't the fishing of course it was the fellowship in the evenings with the guys . What can I say other than thanks Lofr for all the fine food ya fixed us allllllllll. You are a great cook buddy.

  Never seen so many tall guys in one place either . Lofr being the tallest and the spinner of tall tales...... Keith Ritter the second tallest and as nice a fella as walks the earth for sure , as are all the guys.

   What can I say bout Crazy Carl cept that he is a great guy and practical Joker for sure ........

    I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO RENDEZVOUS THIS YEAR AND HOPEFULLY MEET SOME MORE WONDERFUL FOLKS !!!!!!

    JEFFREY ANOTHER GIANT AMONG MEN AND FISHERMAN WILL BE THERE ALSO I BELIEVE AND CAN'T WAIT TO MEET HIM FINALLY !!!!!!!
