    Camped and fished with Mike and Dave this past weekend. I’m still having some crazy flashbacks of the whole experience. Loved the journey, complete with the doubts of making it to the takeout before dark, and with all joints still intact. It’s a wonder none of us wound up with a concussion or fracture. Thanks to both for all the great cooking, and letting me borrow the board. I managed to land a true gator, probably never would have happened without Dave to tow me on my board to the bank with the fish still in battle.

    Finally broke the 50″ mark. Still can’t believe it.

    This bad boy grabbed sideways and intentionally gave my right (ungloved) thumb a swift Chomp! when I wasn’t looking. It doesn’t look like much, but those fang teeth jabbed pretty deep. Thank God it was a quick nip, and he didn’t headshake. I’m very lucky to be able to do dentistry today. Just his way of letting me know he could really get me if he wanted to.

    I’ll never forget it.
