By the power vested in me by many years of pond muck and ink on paper and the authority of our dignified, hand-selected, band of moderators, I hereby authorize and give permission to Young Man, Mr. Chris Steelman, to become the very first Fisheries Student Moderator of the Pond Boss Forum.
For several years, said Young Man has proven his worthiness by staying on the forum way too much, answering posts instead of studying, cooking fish, hanging out with the pros, attending conferences and contributing to the Jesse West Foundation with money that other gainfully unemployed students would probably spend on beer.
Because of his committment to the betterment of the pond management industry (fledgling as the industry is), young Chris has gone above and beyond the duty and has been duly recognized by his peers.
Moderator Bruce Condello suggested elevating Young Man to this position and after a rapidly called meeting of the moderators, the decision was made.
Now, it has been consummated, so to speak.
To all, raise a toast to Young Man, the FIRST Pond Boss Fisheries Student Moderator....
Hip Hip, Hooray!
Hip Hip, Hooray!
Any other students out there listening?
