Thanks for all the well wishes and kind comments everyone!

@Rock Hopper - grats to you too bro! Fine looking son - maybe they'll be fishing buddies someday.
@ AGarcia - nice catch! I also thought that was a great boxing pose, complete with a no-nonsense stare-down.
@ everyone - all the encouragement and support is much appreciated.

I am determined that I won't miss the entire season, and am judiciously watching the WAF account to ensure plenty of credit.

I've been inspired by all the fishing posts of fathers with their kids and especially daddy-daughter posts. I can hardly wait for the days when she'll command her own rod.

Peter

Wow congratulations. She's really beautiful.
