Hey John,
I really appreciate the kind words. Friendships are two way streets so half of this credit is yours buddy. I too have met a bunch of great guys from here and IS, some are now close friends and others are friends through chat. Either way, its nice to have a group of guys that you can reach out to for help or advice or to just plain BS and that have similar goals and hobbies. No one is perfect and everyone has their own struggles in life, but places like this, memories like this, and people like this make it easier.
Now, with that said you sir have just changed my mind on what the best freshwater fish is. I love white perch and crappie but that walleye is unreal. Kinda reminds me of black sea bass but still has its own uniqueness. Ill post a picture after but right now its time to walk into the woods for a few hours. The wife also loved the buffalo sausage so thank you. My old man and my little guy are all about the smoked salmon. I have a feeling we will be trading another 30lb batch of goodies sooner than later. Enjoy the soup and pheasant. Hit me up if you need to.
Good.luck out in the woods today.
