Thank you everyone, especially you Dave for posting this article. Eric West, you hit the nail on the head when you said to "go out and do likewise as you will get far more from the experience than you gave".

n8ly, you're exactly right. The way to get high catch rates is to keep the fish hungry so they have to eat when the opportunity presents itself.

Bruce, I will get down to visit you one of these days. Unfortunately I have't been back to Nebraska since my mother's funeral. I promise, I will make it one of these days.

Again, thank you everyone and as Eric said, you will get far more from helping others fish than you could ever get just fishing by yourself.
