Way to go turbo!

I've caught several and still my biggest is only 40". So, not a bad way to get started!

I'm just wondering if I could do it again but by myself. I learned a lot that day but it will be awhile before I get to use it again. You know what they say, use it or lose it.
At my age it is getting easier to lose then use. ;D

Success happens when preperation, skill, & experiance meets up with opportunity.

I have heard "I would rather be lucky than good." said many times, but I myself would rather be good and make my own luck. If you prepare and are ready when the opportunity presents itself you will catch them. Mother nature can throw you a curve now and then but more times than not succesful anglers are the ones that are the best prepared and the ones that spend their time on the water wisely. There is a fine line between fishing and taking a boat ride.. 8)

You got that right. It's no coincidence that you see the same guys loading up the boxes all the time.

That SP sure is a wise old codger - well I don't know if he's really "old", but he sure is wise. ;) Nicely worded! I totally agree!
