WOW!!! What
a day of fishing. Thank you Cap'n Ron for putting us on top of
the bass for the most productive day of fishing my wife and I
had ever had.
Her 9 and/2 pounder will go nice next to my 9 pounder that I already
have on
the wall. We'll be going back next year to see if we can top that
9 1/2
pounder.

Ron,
I went fishing on your boat with the Al Tremblay, Armand Tremblay,
&
Tim Faria. Great time I might add. Thanks for putting me on the
Brag'n Board
it gives me a chance to bust some chops around here for a while
in Rhode
Island and it gives me something to fall back on if the golfing
season
doesn't go well as far as brag'n. Could you please send me a copy
of the
fish I caught in file format so I can print out a copy.
Here's

Tell Chris to get rid of those weedless-fishless hooks I know
he
doesn't want anyone to out catch him but we all need a fair chance.
HAHA

and see ya next time !!
