Had a great time as well and agree, the only beef was that it didn't last longer. Thanks to Bruce for his hospitality. Thanks to Bob for taking the time to answer questions. And thanks to everyone else who showed up and made this what it was, a wonderful time! Next one's at Shorty's!

Great fun last night! Thoughtful questions, good discussion. We got to watch a huge female bass spawn with a really nice bass. Bruce shot some underwater video. If you've never seen the "dance" as bass spawn, this was it...she circled, tilted, he'd bump her, she'd turn almost horizontal as she laid those eggs. I thought we were at an underwater disco bar. I think we had 13-14 people there and several lively discussions. Bullhead, Shorty, T.J., Teeg Stouffer, Omaha, Chris Steelman, Pete (who lives on the lake around the corner from Bruce). It's always fun to be around people of a common interest who are willing to share their knowledge and experience.

It was a pleasure to meet everyone. Thank you for a great time. The time flies when listening to the "fish tales" of Bob and Bruce. Glad I got the invite TJ. Thanks again! Brent

I laughed, I cried, I experienced everything from birth to death. Well not really, but I did get some free advice from "the man". I left too early-forgetting about the CSBG pinata which must have been opened later.

Sorry, I only managed a few photos to document our gathering, but I'm sure there are some others floating out there and will hopefully be posted soon. We were all engaged in spirited discussions, photos sorta slipped my mind. It was great to finally meet the guys from Recycled Fish [Teej and Alex] and Richard [Bullhead] and Brent [Fullpond] along with our other buddies. Counter clockwise: Bruce, Bob, Chris Steelman, Shorty [Steve], Fullpond [Brent], Jason Schmutte, Bruce's sidekick, Pete, and Bullhead [Richard]. Josh, Frank, Alex and Teej were fishing, I believe. This was taken just for JHAP

Since this was my first meeting, I didn't know that you were supposed to hide your beer when the paparazzi arrived.

It's only a 5-6 hr. drive, should have headed down. There was even one beer consumed, by Bullhead. You could have easily increased our consumption by 100%.

Here is what we did when Bob stopped by last week at the start of his road trip. Genetic survey on 2 lakes. Chris did the fin clipping and insertion into the genetics vial. We weighed , measured and took pics with an id to the sample. You guys must have more to show !!!

Sorry guys, posted the three photos that ended up coming out well. Iphone isn't the best in low light conditions. I think Bruce's dad took quite a few...
