Great stuff Jon...a day like that makes it all worthwhile...being able to share all that you've learned over the years has got to be rewarding. I know fishing with you over the years has been a kick and we've had some great times. Your enthusiasm is electrifying....I remember shore fishing off Freeman earlier this year in search of damsels & big rainbows when all of a sudden I hear "GAME ON!!!"' hell I think everyone one the lake heard you. I look over and there you are bent rod in hand, stripping in line with a big grin on your face. We spent the next couple of hours sight fishing rainbows in shallow clear water...it doesn't get much better than watching a rainbow turn and wake toward your damsel pattern after that perfect cast.
It's got to feel good getting paid for something you love doing...nice work.

Sonny, the black lab, ran ahead to make sure there were no gophers or jackrabbits in the way. If you don't give a dog a specific job, he'll improvise one for himself and it will invariably be fun. There's a lesson there.
