Looks and sounds like everyone had a good time.  It makes almost sad that I moved away.

 It was another great get together! My thanks to all involved. I don't think I've been part of another group that enjoys each others company as much, despite really not seeing each other that often, like long lost friends. My wife even commented on that fact.
 
 To quote Freddie, "These are the day's". Especially after looking at "Hojomans" DVD book. The friendships and memories of good times spent on the water and "talking story" are irreplaceable...here's to many more!

Good to see everybody, Congratulations to the Winners and Thanks to the Sponsor's the Setup and clean up crew. My wife made a comment also on the way home she said Hey I could camp with these guys which is pretty good cause she barely tolerates Camping with me. :smt001
Group IQ is inversely proportional to the size of the group.

Pretty awesome stuff going on here. Another great get together. Especially liked how all the kids were playing together so nicely. I know my boys tore Aquan up... I'm wondering if we'll be invited back next time.

Mooch... I hope there wasn't too much damage done to the store. I know my boys loved playing hide and go seek in the shop... but, not in the boats. Thanks again for everything...

Freddie

Man, I am so pissed off about missing this event! My son got sick on Friday and it hit me hard on Sat night. Was literally in bed from Sat night to this afternoon. And I never get sick.
So, needless to say, I'm super bummed. Please post more pics so I can feel like I was there in attendance!!!

And since I wasn't there to say it myself, Congrats to Chuck! You are a fish magnet dude. Also Congrats to all of the other winners. And also the contributors; some of those awards are amazing! And to Aquan, looks like a top notch event. But, I wouldn't expect anything less from this community of great anglers.
