In keeping true to my "Team Seagram's" sponsor, it did not hinder my fishing ability. It did take awhile to get going Sunday morning, but the gallon of water helped flush out all the nasty. My back however was killing me and I couldn't see hurting it anymore by fighting it on the water. I still have to go to work and make a living. Putting the belt on the next day didn't help. Anyhow, it was dissapointing. I was sure looking forward to this one for awhile. Oh well. Chelan will be a blast too.

Ditto on that Rob.  I hope you are feeling better soon.  Don't sweat the rough tourney.  You are not alone, my man.  I, too was a bit frustrated and likely expanded the vocabulary, in a non-positive manner,  of my daughter after losing three nice fish on Saturday.  She told me after one particularly rough fish loss, that perhaps I needed to curse a little louder and longer next time and my hook sets would "magically" improve.  Gotta love a smart a#*.

I lost 5 on Saturday.  Keri lost a 5 1/2 pounder on Sunday.

Of course, when we're fun fishing, we never lose fish.  What's up with that?  ???

Rob,

Can you see the comma?????? That would be 4 key-4lbers.
Russ

Russ, I speaking of Rob are you refering to comma or coma?   How can a lost fish be "key" for your weight?  You won the tournament if I recall? ???

Coma ain't dead russ. Instead it's a long sleep from head trauma. The longer the deration the more likely of brain damage. Maybe in a third world country it means dead. Coma also doesn't mean your in a veg state. Just so you know next time. I have too many friends that race dirt bikes and know all about comas.

Well let see since I'm going to as prestious a school as Liberty High School it makes sense that I would know some much more than anyone else on any such topic. All arrogance set aside. I had to post that so Russ will remember that if he hits a rock and goes into a coma he still has a chance of living.lol

Been a long time since I found such cheap entertainment. Informitive and educational at times. Always a good laugh. Russ if you ever go in a coma while we are fishing I will know now not to just roll you out of the boat and keep fishing. Good thing for you I read this thread.
