If anyone sees me quickly assume the fetal position, look out.

While considering the possibilities of me being allowed into a restaurant soaking wet, I thought of this.

We snag and bowfish for paddlefish about three hours north of here. Very cool fish and a ton of fun.

The oddest spoonbill I ever caught was a 25 pounder whose bill had long ago been broken off. Like most things here, it's illegal to harvest them except for a short period on the Illinois River.

Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer.

I think FireIsHot is coming?? Hope he can make it. Take my name off the stars list and substitute Al's in it's place....I'm happy being that wide-eyed guy in the background who can't believe he's rubbing shoulders with the celebrities.

SP, I'll be there. There's 3 or 4 of you guys I want to finally get to meet. Me and you can sit in the cheap seats and watch the show.

My biggest problem is going to be not lowering Bruce's property values when I pull up in an old Peugeot covered in duct tape.

Esshup, Dave Willis, Brent, Richard and Stevo...

What about Victor? He's certainly earned a little time to romp around outside again since our trip in June.

I'll be back there too. I've never met anyone except Rainman. Should be interesting. I'll be the guy that everything he tries to do with his pond seems to go the opposite direction. Case in point.
Dreams his whole life of having his very own put and take pond
Builds his pond on top of food plot that has these bucks frequenting daily.




Before knowing of leak plants $400 of grass seed and fully mulches with straw.
Next stocks with $150 worth of fingerlings in this quarter acre pond.
Finds out pond is leaking.
http://youtu.be/SIr5d-pmotk
Discovers PondBoss searching how to fix leak.
Reads about bentonite possibilities
Buys $550 pallet of bentonite
Fixes leak for a month
Pond starts leaking again
Calls contractor won't back his work
Orders $1000 worth of clay to line pond
Drains pond and has to cut dam for drainage.

Pays another $1200 and has pond dug deeper while it's empty
http://youtu.be/j4wsuvzWM-s
Worst drought in 50 years hits Missouri
Finally just fills halfway with well
Stocks 100 CC and 100 HBG per fish trucks guys instructions

Finds out that's way too many CC after not asking numbers here.
Stocks 25 YP and 25 HSB from Rex (prob best decision of all made)
HBG reproduce like rabbits in Australia
Stocks SMB and starts daily trappings of fry
Notices pond has been infested with snails
Like an idiot goes back to fish truck for some RES

Turns out everybody says these are bluegill
5 foots herons start attacking pond
Nearly two years later here we are today
The bad luck Brian of Pond Boss

lots of folks on that list whom I've never met....sounds like a great time.

And, I now realize the hotel I'm staying at is in relative proximity to the Nebraska State Penitentiary.......

I hear the commissary serves a great breakfast. laugh
