Hope your happy happy !!!

Wow, this is unbelievable.

i will preface my comments by saying several of you guys hate me. No big deal, no skin off my back. Justin: I tried to send you a pm, I never came in and threw on you once. Let alone three times. I worked two full time jobs last summer. I fished 5 times total from the end of may until August. And three of those were outta rising sun. Sorry if u think I screwed you. The only time I threw on anybody at tanners was one night we went out. I saw some guys (still, no idea if it was you) tied up and we dropped anchor and waited for 45 minutes. They caught 0 mooneye so we approached and asked if we could throw and we would split our catch with them. They said ok so we threw and caught roughly 45 mooneye. I like to fish them live so I took the bigger ones that weren't gill netted and dropped them in the livewell. I came back up to your boat and tossed u roughly 20. I then tried to chat and u said "I know u got 80 mooneye and you are ripping us off. I know who you are"'so I backed out, left, and went fishing. That's one of two times I was up there all summer. The other was a weeknight and nobody was out. If that was you that night I apologize. I honestly, hand on the Bible, never ripped you off.

drpepper: you hate me, Always will. I remember a time when we were trying to plan a field trip for my kids (actually the same students who passed away in that FFA crash). You were open and inviting. And I appreciate that. Thank you. Glad to hear your physicals checked out and You are good to go. Still would like hitting the river with you and actually meeting face to face to air grievances. But that won't happen so let's move on.

justin: I know Steve vaguely and he is a standup guy the cares about protecting our waters. You have to understand where his business is. Should he require every order to fill out where they will be using his rod holders? That's crazy and nonsense. He has a product to sell to the general public and must meet demand. And i doubt too many paylakers are buying Monsters to mount to their truck bed. He is CHOOSING to support the regulations on his own time, with risk to his income. Most of us can preach conservation and go back to our lively hood. They arent intertwined. Steve walks that line of both and actually stands up for our side way more than 99% of guys in his spot would do. That is a HUGE ace in the hole for us. Only way we are gonna get regs changed is to show where the dollars actually lay. And that is Steve 100% percent!!! We not only want Steve continuing his work, he is vital to our success. Thank you Steve for doing what you are doing.

If we are united it's way bette for the cause than bickering amongst ourselves

i would like to do more and hope to do so. One reason I haven't is because I haven't felt comfortable going to meetings with several people on here so vehemently hating me. I have decided to go anyways from now on. i plan on driving to Barkley in a couple weeks and hope to see you there. Come up and say hi and let's air things out
