Doesn't he look like the current day Bill Engvall with this shot? I got to find that cap shot of this facial angle.

Yup...I'm the kind of guy who rides around with the windows down...in the winter even!

I know what you mean. The life of an angler/pondmeister/fish squeezer/ has its challenges. I am proud of the fact that my hoity-toity  Iphone has fish slime and a scale or two plastered all over it , though. Smells kinda' "off" too.....

Y'know...that rugged, outdoor look scores few points with my wife Linda. I keep hearing things like...

You lose your razor? or When you gonna clean up? or Don't bother to kiss me goodnight!

"Y'ever notice how some people always seem to need a shave?"

Try putting a little spin on it Jim...... "Y'ever notice how some guys always manage to pull off that rugged, outdoor look?"

Wow...I didn't realize that I'd put this one up. This is from close to 10 years ago.

This particular pond suffered a few fish kills over the years and likely all the big gills died. Used to have an 'average' size of 10 to 10.5 inches with a few huge bass in the mix. My son Matt caught a 24 inch 9 pound bass here in 2003 for his personal best on the species. He fished it once this year with little success...tiny gills and small bass. I should work with the owner on this one.

That's something to truly brag about.
