I never actually got to fish with Richard, but often in the general area. But did have the privilege of being in the same fish camp and sharing meals talking fishing a few days, along with Ham and Cody. Very pleasant and knowledgeable guy.
Want to say Thank You, to @Phil Lilley, Marsha and the entire Lilley's Staff, for being such Great host. As Marty mentioned above we were blessed to have such nice accommodations, a truly great place to gather for FFFF.
What @jdmidwest I have bought from IL AR bill of sale and VIN got it done fine. Only issue I ever had was a yamaha 2.5 motor for a canoe, they typo the motor to 25 was a PIA to get corrected.
Bill, these days I seem to crappie fish more than bass. TR has became so crowded I only fish winters. But unless fish are in a pre spawn stage (there is a whole another discussion of "ethics" and criticism) I am rarely in less than 20 fow, and sure miss your posts. Is it possible that @Phil Lilley can set up a thread within the TR forum with limited access that you have to sign a waiver that you are ok with FFS and deep fish?
