I'm finally back in the hood, and Dave is on his way to pick up the grand kids. We successfully drove almost 2,700 miles over the last week, and it was absolutely worth it. Dave not once pulled out a gun, and I avoided serious jail time so that made the trip even better.
Dave has the native/feed trained LMB pics, but the difference was incredible. First time I had ever even seen a feed trained LMB, and the new larger Stubby Steve's came through like a champ. Several times, I waited til the feeder threw, then launched the SS's straight up in the air, and let it splash. The fight was on almost immediately.
I may forget to say this again, but B Lusk did good. RM's is unlike any other BOW I have ever fished, and the water flow limitations made this a science project at best. This project was definitely a success. I never ever thought I would say "This BG is only a 1 1/4 lbs". Strong work Boss!
I'd like to add one more thing. Any time an opportunity comes up to attend a Pond Boss get together like esshup (Scott) has coming up, don't miss it. The fellowship made this trip successful and fun for all. Putting faces to names makes virtual friends real, and memories last forever.
