I can't sleep and I'm not even going! I think I'm just as excited knowing all my friends will be up there having a great time and we'll be telling and retelling stories for months after this.

Wish I could be up there with you guys!

T minus 10 hours till go time!

I'll catch one, and drink one for you Hanson

We're at T minus 2 hours!! Then it will be die time for these 1,000 new friends of mine!

I almost went, at the last minute! It came down to a couple hours ago!!!! If possible, I would have slept kin my S.U.V.

But my kids B-day is (mostly) holding me back.


Good luck guys.

Next year!

Someone better!!

Bump!

I will do that man but it will have to wait until next weekend for me.

As long as its out of the Chub's Mug, that'll work!

I dont have a Chubs mug Chris but I will have three and thats probably the equal. You will be missed.

Don't forget the boat and don't forget the secret weapon.......the homemade clonk.

I am bringing up the 1960's vintage Daiwa reel to open. A couple 45 inchers on Friday morning......

Then by afternoon I bust out the okuma EB50 on the 10 foot pool cue for the first 60 plus of the day.

Then finish off the day with a 25 minute fight with the medium action thunderstick with a Shimano plastic body 20 dollar 2000 series with only 20 pound powerpro. It's go time.

Brian, I'll be calling you in the morning begging to bust out early.

I guess none of us can sleep huh?

Not yet..... soon I hope...
Sweet sturgeon dreams..

Just getting ready to pull out fellas! See you up there!

Nope can't sleep. Picked about 300 crawlers in the yard to get my mind off things. It made things a LOT worse. Went up to see my favorite bartender, and now I should sleep good. If not it was good practice

I don't know Tom.... it'll be close, but I don't think I'd go as far as saying it's equal...
