Brian,
WTH did you do to your shoulder?

Surgery. ripped the ligament holding it all together, completely in half, and shoulder dislocated. been going on for 5 years,
just too busy to fix it.
Anyway, Doc says I'll be at 100% by Sept, & I finally get to go back to work next monday.
BTW, Ronnie, been taking 1200mg-advil to function for the past 3 yrs. I'm now down to 400mg-day, & I should be down to no meds/pain at all in another 2 weeks.
I just want to go fishing. that's all.
I may even break down and go crappie fishing!
arm is VERY weak.
Wanna see an angler go crazy?
give him 4 weeks off work, 4 weeks of great weather, and then cripple him so he cant hold a rod!
ARRRRgggggHHH!
it's for the greater good though, I can really see casting for tuna all night w/out pain breaks
Hey Griz, when you comin' up to do windons. I got plenty of time.....
-tight lines

BREAKING NEWS!!!

As of 12:53PM CDT April 22, 2008 it is O-FISH-ALLY 5111 hours till TUNA TIME!!!

TUNATIME is closer. not by much, but closer!

as of now we have
210 days 16 hours 44 min and 30 secs.!!!!

It will be sooner than that for me. I want to do at lease one 30hr and one 52hr prior to this. I have some friends lined up for the 30hr. Anybody want to hit a 52hr in the DFW area and ride down sometime this summer?

Joe

I had a freinds dad give me an older bottom fishing rig. The Penn reel is a huge one and looks to be in fairly good condition. I am going to go through it and clean it up.The reel has turnbuckes to secure it on the rod. I havent looked at the model # yet, but the rod has some corrosion on it and the eyes are corroded and loose from the rod. I am looking for a stout rod in the North Dallas area that someone is looking to get rid of. Let me know what you have. Thanks,
Joe

Joe.. the Penn 115 9/0 thru 118 16/0 Senators have turn-buckle reel seat bolsters.... Good workhorse reels.

Willie ,
Check's one the way, Thank who ever dropped out for me, looking forward to this one.
How many more days???

Welcome aboard, crazyjigr!

It's a mere 205 days to TUNATIME

Brian,
the next few weekends i am slammed building a new fence around my house. i will give you a call shortly to come over and drink some beer and make wind-ons

HA
I have been doing this for 2 months. 615 Ft of cedar privacy fence in solid rock. I will never do it again!!!!
I feel for you though I am sure you have more soil than rock.

Add 2 years to your countdown for me

Did you get the job done?

Mike, Ronnie is still trying to find the manual on how it works...

not yet.. need lots of practice time LOL!!! we're still in stealth mode, and dont have clearance from Base Command to "fire the rocket" yet got a family member staying with us to help him get back on his feet.... until he's gone- no baby. dont need to support two babies!

You guys have fun on this trip. I'm sure you will catch a lot of fish and everyone will come home a happy camper.

Hey guys, been away from the board for a while. I was on Cinco and would love to get a shot to get on this boat. If anyone has to bail...let me know. I'll take a spot or 3 if they open up.

Cameron

better call willy, cameron. think he has a pretty long waiting list by now

TX Grizzly, we've sent an email, we had one person drop out due to personal reasons and we need to see if Will Henson can commit, as he's next in line.
Email or call to confirm either way.

WAKE UP!!! HOw many days until yalls trip? RIgs ready? new equipment broke in yet? Want me to do a stress test on your FISHING rods? HEHE!!! gonna miss fishing next to yall this year, and even miss the grief Snagged gives me!
