First fish gets a buck! Largest fish gets a $5! Son got $6 on this outing!

Joy is a great teacher, but so is dispair. Wonder is a great teacher, but so is confusion. Hope is a great teacher, but so is disillusionment. And life is a great teacher, but so is death. To deny yourself any of those in any aspect is not experiencing life totally.

I'll always remember when my buddy thought a baby bear was crying in the distance when we were on Big Moose lake, and we found out you were there with your wife and a very sweet little baby that I assume is the wonderful girl in the picture. Think it was her first trip if I remember correctly.
