Bruce does not need a rod/reel/line - that why he is called the Fish Whisperer !

Just got back and had a chance to go through the thread.
Well done guys ! Well reported also. At some point this needs to go in the archives (after all are through posting).
I know the SDSU folks thank you all very much.

The SDSU folks do indeed thank you all very much. . Look for the next story from a student who benefitted from the Jesse West fisheries endowment in the next issue of Pond Boss magazine. Intrigued? Teaser. Another teaser to Sunil: might even be a bit of a musical connection this time....

Personally, I'd really like us to 'really feel the space,' so to speak, around referring to Bruce as "Pez" going forward.
If the moment passed, well then so be it.

Personally, I can't see it for two reasons.
First, by all accounts, Bruce did a great MC'ing job at Scotts, but in the future, such opportunities might fall away, as no one with want their meeting run by someone named "Pez". Therefore, the MC'ing may well fall on the broad shoulders of other moderators, such as you, Sunil. It's not that I don't think you'd do a fantastic job, but you'd have to put down your Peroni for several hours, which might result in somthing embarressing happening, like withdrawl seizures.
Second, newer members of the forum, awed by the archival treasure trove of Bruce's fish pictures, might think that we're trying to refer to him as "Prez" rather than "Pez", and that we're all a bunch of imbeciles who can't spell, instead of just a bunch of regular imbeciles.
So I guess you'll have to put me in the "nay" category.

Brutal, simply brutal David. Anybody that brings a case of Costco wine to gathering of fishermen cannot be taken seriously.
To refer to Bruce as a collectable, cheap plastic candy dispenser that contributes to tooth decay is a travesty. Bruce is on the other side of the rotten teeth industry and has financed a lot of fishing trips by his efforts.
Sunil has potential as a candidate for MC. But he would first have to tackle "girly/sissy" beer withdrawal. Nobody in the pond world would shut up and listen to a Peroni sipper. To be taken seriously, any MC would have to be drinking the KING of beers. Sunil, start thinking of red and white cans with a born on date or turn in your jock strap.
TJ might qualify but he fishes with a sissy stick and we all know how "they" are.
I'll think this over and come up with a suitable candidate for the next Yankee gathering.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.

Well, this reminds of a sitcom conversation. I think it was Sanford & Son.
Esther: "Well, I never..." Fred: "And you probably never will."

I think that one Pez joke is more than adequate, but it kinda fell out of the sky at the perfect moment! Didn't mean to pick on ya so bad Bruce, but being a celeb, an occasional roasting comes with the territory Think of it as a form of respect and admiration! A sense of humor wouldn't hurt either Bruce is Top's in my book! Can't wait to see what he has going on with his indoor rig this winter. I vote that DD1 should pick the next Yankee MC!

I think we were a week off on that campfire weather tho. Cranked up the heat earlier, and esshup seems to only be a couple degrees different. Grabbed a flannel shirt when I went to my property today. Only 58F there.
Yeah, I know. This is T-shirt weather coming out of winter, but flannel shirt stuff after it's been in the 80's - 90's for a spell.
Clammy type weather ahead! (cold and humid)

My trout will love it! Not happy I'm out of the 5D06 and feeding them the 5D05 I have left over, but my feed supplier won't get it in until next week. I've been feeding it to the tilapia.
I need to get several bags at a time to avoid this but it's getting expensive to order the 5D06 and the starter feed. Starter feed is over $50.00 per bag now. At least I have enough to last until I sell most of them.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Where's it located? I have two bags coming next week though.
My tilapia outside stopped feeding this morning. I wonder why. LOL
I still think lots of fish farmers are missing the boat up here by going with tilapia. You don't need to heat the water wiyh bluegill and yellow perch!

I disagree. I'm not confortable with labeling people on a real or imagined physical attribute. Reminds me of grade school bullies.

You know, you're right, Cecil.
Bruce has been crying himself to sleep each night ever since he caught some verbal abuse (aka bullying) from his friends!
