[#0000FF]Yes, it was a good trip...with good company. Always good to share the water with ya. And good to see Daniel again...now that he has graduated and is a wage slave. I think he got the worst of the long trip and the long hours after having to work a swing shift in order to join us.
Thanks for your offer of assistance in recovering the rod. But I have already chalked it up as a donation to the fishing dieties...for their past kindnesses on other trips. How could I be so ungrateful as to want it back? Anyway, the expenses involved in putting together a dive recovery trip would far outweigh my out-of-pocket to replace the gear. Dominoes Nabisco...or however that goes.
Interestingly enough, I came close to tossing over a marker buoy and dragging some jigs around on the bottom to try to snag the rod or some line. But I didn't. If that fish stayed hooked up I would really like to hear the story he told the other fishies about how he got his lip ornament and that wierd thing he was dragging around behind him. Wonder if fish can concoct as good of stories as anglers.
Next trip will be closer to home. Maybe Lincoln Beach again. Those walleyes can't avoid you forever.
