   Had a pretty good day at a local lake today with the wife and son.
   I had to make "one more cast" before we left and connected with this trout.
Life is short---live it tall.

Be kinder than necessary--- everyone is fighting some kind of battle.

Sailors may be struck down at any time, in calm or in storm, but the sea does not do it for hate or spite.
She has no wrath to vent. Nor does she have a hand in kindness to extend.
She is merely there, immense, powerful, and indifferent

Nice!  I usually make several last casts just to make sure the fish have a good opportunity to make me happy.

Whoa! What a trip! I just did a crazy double take when I saw that picture. You look EXACTLY like my uncle...

Nice trout, by the way.

  Maybe I am your uncle....... ::) ??? ???

  I lived in the East Bay from '69' to '79'  in SLZ .....went to Arroyo High...out in 72..have 2 brothers and lots of cousins from Sacto to Montery.

  No wait a minute----maybe looking just like your uncle isn't such a good thing. Not sure if the world's ready for 2 of me.

   You have to notice the picture has me pretty much "blacked out". And I think that was the best pic I had of that trout. I really do know better about lighting, posing, and framing.
   Oh well
   Yeah. pretty good tussle Rory. Was using a 5' Lamiglass ultralite with a little Shimano spinning reel and 4 lbs test Maxima. Lots of fun :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
