Two years in a row I`ve missed out on some fun with great people. Looks like it was a blast.

Thank you Mike for puting on the picnic. I really enjoyed meeting and talking to everyone who was able to attend. Thanks tnj8222 for the subs and everybody else for the great potluck. I was starving when I got off the water and the salads and everything (pickled Bolognas :clown:)were great. Congrats Gringo on the casting contest. Wait till next year :-({|= Thanks to Dez for the Dobyns certificate package, I was lucky enough to win in the free raffle. :cheers: Very excited to get my first Dobyns rod :thumright. Even got to meet Amx [flapper] Good Times

You guys might have got beat by a gurl but I got beat by the same girl and she was using my rod.I probably would have won if Dez wasnt blinding me with his bass lure. It threw off my sight. Hehehehe.. Next year I demand a rematch.Hahaha. Thanks everyone for a great time. It was way more fun then work. I had a blast,seeing some old friends and new ones.Tony the sandwiches were the Fire.
By the way AMX wasnt grumpy like they all said. He is really nice. Hahaha:-"

LOL this sounds like it was a lot of fun. Big big kudos to tnj :cheers: for sporting all that food even tho I didn't make it this go round. Sure a kudos due for many others that helped get it all organized and together too (like Dez and I'm sure others).

We had a great time with the WALakes gang at the picnic. And for those who didn't get a chance to meet her, here's the "girl" - Sonia - who kicked all our asses in the casting contest (except for Gringo, of course ;) I'm not surprised. She kicks mine frequently. The first time we went fishing together I knew I was in trouble - and in love - when she said, "give me your knife... I want to gut these fish". The rest is history...

Thanks, I'll try to adjust on my end first in the future. Robyn's camera, I just copied, didn't check size....

Thanks again for all of that food guys, the subs, everything was awesome... The biggest surprise was that more people didn't show.

Racfish, Robyn says "Howdy!"

That's a great start! Can you post a picture of her truck as well? :)

Old joke, I'm still trying to be funny no matter how many times Robyn says I'm not. LOL

Congratulations Sonia on taking second place!

Right ON! I'm glad this all came together.
Wish I could have been there to kick all your asses but this is actually the first time I've been around the site in awhile. Work, work, work.
Next year it will be on. And I will once again help in planning and organizing. I hope the guys that helped Mike out this year will be down to do it again. It looks like you guys did an outstanding job. Sorry Dez, you probably had to make the rings again. I still have the others sitting in the garage. At least we have a set now.
Nice job once again Mike, Tony and LittleBassDez.
Gringo............I don't even know what to say. But I will find a way to accidentally step on that golden stick of yours.
