I rather enjoyed the troublemakers roundtable the last day.


Slim, I also enjoyed being the regular or normal guy to a table full of pond clowns.

I do have a link to how Green Sunfish cause hair loss. \:D

Put them in the pond - then you get in and stand still while they nip out your hair. If you hold your breath and stick your head in - well you get the picture. \:o

Blane posted on other thread I got the reel, sorry. Finders keepers...., just kidding will ship it to you.

I had a great time and also wish I had more time to talk to folks one on one. Sign of a good time is when it goes by quickly. Still trying to catch up on sleep.

This was one of the best one-liners that occured during a presentation (IMHO). Or is that a three liner, I don't know, it was funny either way.

I believe the gentleman to the right of JHAP in the fly fishing lesson is Harvey Dupriest. He is the 1st person I met while walking up to the Conf. Center door. A member since '02 from Canton, Tx.
I hope that's right, Harvey.

It was another great conference, the speakers sure build giant dreams inside my head. I love seeing the traditional values thrown out the window, and the state of the art products that are now available to pond owners. There is a new breed of pond owner brewing, and I'm proud to be part of the leading edge. I enjoyed talking to a lot of old friends, met some members for the first time, and missed a few friends I was looking for. Time flew by...it ranks right up there with my best memories of 2008. There was a LOT of free stuff too, my Pop already tried the HUGE LMB pellets from the Purina booth samples, He said a CC inhaled it within seconds of hitting the water.

Did anyone ask Todd Overton if he has feed trained F1's?

Yep, that's Harvey.


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.

That darn test was hard! I did great on the math section but had to cheat off of Sunil for the rest of it.

Great photos Theo.

Reflections:

Chis and his dad Randall are great folks. Chris is soft spoken, confident young man, I sure hope he decides to persue Pond Bossin as a career. Chis is also a tremendous fly fisherman and fish filleter. Ricki and I had the pleasure of talking with Randall one evening, he is an inspirational "just do it" type of person. He had some great tractor tales. I have serious tractor envy.

I only briefly got a chance to talk to the Overton crew - good people one and all. I want to personally thank them (and the other Pond Boss folks) that set up that fish tank. I know that it must have taken a tremendous effort and I think that it really added to the ambience of the room. You guys are great.

David and Al are "salt of the earth" people that I feel honored to have spent time with. We had a great conversation about the friendship factor of Pond Boss - we concluded that we are all more that just a forum, we are an extended family, and now they have at least one black sheep in their family tree. (Please, please Brettski, do not create a photochop of my head on a black sheep, please, please, grovel, please).

A couple of times I got to hear Dave Beasley and Dr. Mark Cornwell get into discussions about various fisheries topics. They are both very knowledgeable and well-spoken. It was then I realized that is such a great part of the conference--a chance to learn, and yes, even argue about stuff. It was all in fun, but it was at those moments that I realized that Bob has created something that couldn't possibly exist otherwise. It's a chance to get some of these great minds to get together, and a chance for the rest of us to listen! \:\)

I'm getting old. n8ly (Nate Herman) looks to be all of 23 years old. His brother Justin (J-Herm) and their associate Allen (A-Hubs), who by my standards are fully competent fish-squeezers, were carded while buying bubble gum at Starbucks.

Jeff Has A Pond changes his handle depending on the current situation. During the conference, we also met Jeff Has An Appetite, Jeff Has A Beer, Jeff Has Another Beer, Jeff Has A Hangover, and Jeff Has a Really Nice Wife Ricki.

Nate is 25, Justin and Allen are 19. We started Herman Brothers Pond Management last April.

JNHACP!
Jeff Now Has A Catfish Pond to go along with all of the other things that Jeff Has. He caught a 6.25 lb channel catfish at Lusks place! Need Bruce to post some fish pics from lusks place, probably should start a new thread for that topic!!!

Ricki by far is the best asset that Jeff has!


George,
Chris and I had a blast catching fish with our flyrods and conference flies!!!! THANKS!!!! Will post pics in a new thread once Bruce gets caught up.

Bruce, you are one of those great minds. BUT, you're pretty tight with the bluegill info. I wanted to ask, what type feed, how much, how many times per day, how many handfed earthworms per BG. Do you have to call them by name, or do they know when it's their turn at the trough, etc

It was great meeting you Nate, I'll email you related to the topics that we discussed.

And yep, you are right, Ricki is by far and away my best asset.

At a corner booth in this Whatta Burger the Pond Boss empire began. Bob says the burgers are great. I never got to find out.
