Great pictures guys...   I cant stop looking at them....

ramrod - believe it or not, I've actually never fished Sodus.

Dom - I've been hitting these threads every few minutes looking for all of the new ones to show up.  Just showed them all to my boss, and she was pretty impressed with a bunch of people getting together like this, and she's ready to give me time off for next year's event already.

Well we made it home!!   I'll start again by thanking all that came out for making Mr &Mrs. Bog's first trip to NY an awesome time. We have made many new friend's and are already looking foward to spending more time with you folk's. The food was great, the company even better.Everyone who attended brought something different and valuable to the table. My new buddies worked their butt's off to put a fish in MOM's hand's and it was priceless to see her with that "Togue" (couldn't help it) in her grasp.  We have a great core of guy's & gal's here who all share a passion for the outdoor's. Just to see that many stranger's get together and enjoy something that much is refreshing.  Sunday started as a little bit of an adventure with the acess and Icy slush bath but we were able to overcome it all and it turned into another great day with my new friend's.

I will say this about our friend Issiah, there is a reason he has all those great stories and pictures. He work's his A$$ off at what he does and that = sucess.  Thank's for all your effort's Issiah, I'm practicing my knot's, although I'm not sure it would have mattered.

Poor Walter, That guy is just plain awesome but can't even remember his age. I bet he felt like 57 by sunday night I know I did. Dom's first class, and I'm proud to call him a friend. The "chuckwagon" sled was invaluable as well as the work you did to have us out.

Trying to get these in order, may be some duplicate's in there.

Love the pics. Im looking forward to next year. That's a good picture with the 3 of you on the wheeler, but Issiah does look like he wants to hurt someone a bit 

[huntny30]

Hey chucker, Got a few perch on that caty I got off you saturday too. Thanks.

[Chucker]

Just like bog said, Issiah puts his time in, and takes his fun seriously, too.  Notice he wore the Skins on Sunday?

Harrie, if you swamp yankees like those Catys, we'll hook you up with plenty more!

You missed a good one there Geno. Was kinda strange not having you around on the Ice. Hunt-N-Cheeks have that same Bert and Ernie thing that we have had since school.

It is a great picture! You guys should get that one framed. That was probably the look Haynesworth had when he punched that guy in the face.

Ha ha ha!!! Just for the record, Raquettedacker was provided with some "top secret" jigs as well, I hope to hear his success soon...

[Raquettedacker]

Great pictures Bog and MOM.. I'm just glad you guys had fun.
Did you notice in the picture with RomRod and his girl the flag up in the background???...
And he doe at the Inn has a huge lump on her leg..
And you had to get a picture of the Dodge jumping the Ford...

I think there may have been a few Hush-Hush secret swap's going on.
