I am sure a few dudes felt the "should have been Josh" vibe, too 😉 Dude caught some fish!

It is just home-field advantage, Chris........and years of relentless study and hard work! 😂

You're on to my secrets. Tightlining a Ned-Rig soft plastic. 🤣

Tom, if it makes you feel better, Joe and I both missed that bite while rowing into a driving rain for 4 hours and bailing water out of the Flycraft. And our ears were ringing as they made fun of us back under the tent. Josh may have even sent a text, as if he was checking in to make sure we were safe...

Everyone had a little "should have been there it seems" Joe and I did rally and drag our wet, tired, middle-aged butts to the river again for that evening bite, which was totally worth it. Although the dinner we skipped was certainly up to Les Young standards of excellence it seems.

Don't tell Joe, but he lost a 20 incher. He broke it off on the hookset, and I saw it leap afterwards to throw the hook. Probably the biggest of the weekend...

As the guy in the raft with you, I can certainly give you a pass for a bad knot or two on Saturday after two days of tough going!
