I think Chris is on the money.

If this can happen when things slow down, we will have a much better event. There should be a raffle. These things raise a lot of cash. I will donate some Dobyns Rods.

Ken is an honorable man.

I have only known him for about a year. He is an artist and a heck of a nice guy. Does he like his bait being knocked off?? I'm sure he doesn't. (I'm guessing) The Hud looks like a fish, swims like a fish, and damn near feels like a trout. Their is no comparison.
