Terrific topic and I hope now that x-mas is over I'll have more of a chance to participate on this board again!

It really is what most are saying, making new friends, learning new techniques and a little competition never hurts!

I enjoy hearing about how anglers on big lakes win it at either a spot where we launch or running way down to another part of the lake I've never heard about (in my earlier years!). All these experiences make us/me a better angler and in spite of my not being able to fish much (not to mention how half the tournies I went to I was going on 0-2 hours of sleep!) this past year, I was still competitive!

Just want to give a huge shout out to Yotopia for not only coming to SCBBBC this year but also how he stepped it up by making it happen on the donation front for the Invite! You showed me how far I have to go!

Thanks also to all the SCBBBC officers and members this past year in making it happen at our events.

William, not sure if you're reading this but for those who talk to him on a regular basis (don't have his phone number right now), please let him know I really appreciated him working hard on the club even though he was not fishing much of our events. Some don't know how much work he was still putting in.

Sorry for the long message but I've been missing all the action here due to work and family.

See some of you on Sunday at Berry!
