Jen- did you happen to find the kid who went with the jacket? images/icons/shocked.gif

I asked him if he brought a jacket, and he said he left it in the van. Should have checked. Thanks!
I'll e-mail you.

Jen: Just to let you know that Senator Thumper and Senator Gizmo, represented the great state of Washington at the event images/icons/grin.gif images/icons/grin.gif .

Prehaps if I had removed the sign from the upper end of your driveway that RT and Stew placed that said "if you are from Washington, the state that has the best fisherman in the NW, you are not welcome here" images/icons/smile.gif images/icons/grin.gif more would have been there.

Anyway, thanks again for the great day.

Stew I have to agree with you since I was born in Kirkland.

Meeting Thumper and Gizmo and hearing about the NF Lewis and all their fish was enough for me to consider buying a Washington license and heading north. So many fish...so little time. Hey guys let me know how those jigs work on all the silvers up there.

Hey, EVERYONE knows the best fishers are born in Montana and move to the bigger fish of Oregon/Tillamook! It's that simple images/icons/wink.gif . ...

And Jen, I think those are my box of jigs. I was ... ah, hmmm ... oh ya, I was carrying a box of my Firstcastjigs and set them down while I was talking to someone; when I picked them back up again they became a glass of margarita somehow - the ol' switcheroo I think. Seemed like a good trade last night - but not now! Give me my jigs back! images/icons/grin.gif ..... jk

Important edit: Hey Bev, be careful - very careful - when the salmon shark starts to talk about your transome; anyone's transome images/icons/shocked.gif , pretty sneaky dude images/icons/wink.gif

Thank you Bill and Jen for a special time at your home. My wife and daughters really enjoyed their visit (especially the beef jerky sample's).

You really have a beautiful home and property and those did that did not make it missed a super time with the ifishers that were there.

Many great prizes were given out, the food was diverse and plentiful, the company was inviting and it was very nice to put faces to names.

My best wishes to future events and when you have them at your house Bill and Jen, be sure to invite us as we will be there. Next time though I won't spend 2 days fishing with 2 hours sleep and can stay longer. images/icons/grin.gif images/icons/grin.gif

[Jennie@ifish]

We are almost done cleaning up! Been at it since seven or so! Everyone last night was so very helpful in assisting us with putting things away. Thank you so much! It helped tons!
We had an absolute blast! images/icons/smile.gif images/icons/smile.gif images/icons/smile.gif
