Today was the first day I've been able to make it out since the start of the season. It was also the TUBBS maiden voyage. Even though the water up this way is extremly HIGH!!!!!! (Did I say HIGH, I mean REALLY HIGH) we said the heck with it lets go Don't even care if we catch a fish or not. Ended up going to Richardson Lake, Had to cross over a foot of water going across the main road heading into errol but finally managed to get there. The lake was High and the water coming out of the dam at an incredible pace, Some places were like a Mine field with 15' trees floating in the lake with numerous other objects floating. We ended the day with 13 salmon all between 12 and 20" Great Maiden voyage for the TUBB (Hey Throbbing Rods, I guess the fish catching luck is still there after sitting all winter ROFLMAO) Had a blast and after 8 weeks of long term substitute teaching in Kindergarten, Felt really good to be on the lake. New Knees are doing AWESOME walking almost 3 miles a day, been smoke free since Aug 16th 2010, down almost 80 pounds total and feel like I've been given a new lease on life. Oh and I LOVED every minute of teaching the little ones for 8 weeks. Life is Great right now for LOL Dave Good Luck to all of you this season. Take Care God Bless LOL Dave

Dear LOL Dave
You have had the use of my once fabled luck for lo these many years, all because it mistakenly got left in the boat. I know that if I left my tackel box in the boat, you would give it back (after taking notes). If I left my favorite rod in there, you would give it back. So what is up with the FINDERS KEEPERS mindset when it comes to my luck???
Just saying...

Don't know what you're talking about Throbbin Rods????????? I'm pleading the 5th LMAO I just thought that I finally learned something after going out with a bunch of people from this board and taken mental notes etc... Luck ???? Still not sure what you're talking about LMAO Forry, They recommend not kneeling on Knee replacements, Of course depends on how soft the fabric is underneath the knees if you know what I mean ROFLMAO. But on hard surfaces NO you shouldn't kneel down on them. Kind of bites a little bit but most times you can work around it, Oh and forget moving stuff with your foot from side to side fake knees don't like that at all. But compared to where I was before the surgery, Like NIGHT & DAY and I couldn't be happier. Take Care God Bless LOL Dave

Sounds like a great start to the season, Dave. Hope you get more chances to get out soon. Have fun.
