....got my buddy Chad (pictured right) to send me those pictures of the spanish we caught during our Wellcraft V20 fishing tournament. I didn't have the nice lamenated entry card like some of the other participants ::) Not that I entered the fish anyway, or that I would have won.

Chad is the one who had back surgery on November 1st. He's still in some pain but gets around ok considering. That's his main squeeze in the middle. It was the three of us fishing for 2 days.

Before he had his surgery, he and I (with some help from Lisa) built that shed you see in the background with his old boat parked under it.

Hmmm, main squeeze eh? Does that imply other squeezes. ;D Nice macs Blue. Nice looking boat shed. I'd like to have one that I can fit under, w/ the top up or radar on the arch.

Yep, I considered a shed like that too. His is 12' x 24'.

Only thing is I would have made it much higher - for the reason you mentioned. He only has around $1000, maybe less than that in it. He sold the boat and put his dog lot underneath.

Now I'm nearly sold on one of those big arse metal buildings with the concrete pad. Only costs about 20 times what he's got in his, but will be bigger at like 30' x 40'.

I wish Chad would get better so we could go tear some $hit up!

In this context, main squeeze = only squeeze. ;)

Last time I went trollin for spanish, I caught several ribbon fish. I'll see if I can find a pic of them when I get home.

Spanish are beautiful fish, and tasty to boot.

Nice Spanish, BR ;) ... another thing about a higher boat-shed is, you can walk around in the boat while under the shed...in case ya wanna have a boat-party or somethin' 8) ...

I sometimes park my boat under my uncle's beach house, I always end up with a knot on my head.

Nice fish ,

Nice to be out with family and also good friends, I hope Chad is doing better. I like that "boat port"

It would be nice to park the toys under one of those and not be worried about the weather,

Thanks for sharing the pics and keep'em coming.

Thanks CTT - pitched em at some blues. Had 3 raise and lite up but wouldn't eat :-/ (so we ate em instead ;)).

Bass, that Chad is a slacker. He took these pics months ago and I've just now gotten him to share. He's doing better and better all the time - his back that is. He's actually probably a little ahead of schedule on the healing process so I think everything is going good considering.

Thanks fellas!
