Now We got him talkin', folks.. Allow me to introduce mon frer, Solus Vero! He's a decent fella, by most accounts.. Not a stalker or anything.. Just a couple nervous ticks and a bad case of the gout.. Naw, I'd vouche for ya, Solus, but it might tarnish your reputation.. I'm pretty sure these people think I'm gonzo crazy..

Wait, you guys use bobbers? What? Don't that kinda defeat the purpose of "being one with the fly"..? (jest teasin' boys.. I quickly put away those "thingymabobbers" after correctly identifying them as a crutch.. So good luck buddy)

Hey, don't tell me.. Talk to "slim", he started it.. (Its a cold sore, Beavis!) and I do got a snake! One time I fed it some beer.. It slivered this way and that.. It was all $&@$ED up! ** So nanner nanner boo-boo... Honestly I'm just trying to give him a reason to put me in his boat for a day on the lake.. Even if his sole purpose at that point is to drown me! (Im more likable, if that's possible, in person..) ** (obscure comedy reference, free guide trip down the Niangua to the first person to properly identify it's origins)

I gotta snake... ?

Uhm, speakng of that.. Flysmallie, tell your daughter she needs to consult a physician about that..

Hey, when you asked me what I would do for a Klondike bar and I replied "ANYTHING!", I didn't expect you to take me seriously.. I wondered why I got a special delivery of a case of klondikes this morning... Don't worry, I'll take care of ol flysmallie... Now Mr B? He's on his own... Please take note, Mr Solus, who is the current high bidder on the aforementioned eBay item.... (what's got two thumbs and is buying a set of outdated bellyboat side fins? THIS GUY! [points at self])

Nope, it's all your fault... But I'm looking forward to a trip or two in your belly boat too.. I know a 4 acre pond that has our popper bugs names on it..

Well then I want in.. I've practically been doing that already.. (it's "Amazing Race" you're thinkin of.. But a great joke about our friendly ozarks intolerance, for sure)

And now you know you can charge solus an arm and a leg for em! (well, maybe not a leg.. Cause then he wouldn't need them, lol) (Solus, you crack me up.. )

Heck yeah I want WIFI! (as long as you don't watch me using it.. Lol)

What's the method for those smallies? The top and bottom of large riffle channels or in deep holes? Letting that jig soak or swinging it wildly through the current? NEED MORE INFO B-Ry!!!!!!! Awe heck, just tell me in person tomorrow morning.. No need in flying EVERYONE in.. lol

Well then surely the boys who watch the crane video would be knocking on my door by now.. I strung up a full creel of 3 inch fish and drug em up and down stream all day! (just funnin, maybe I'll send em on a wild goose chase checking the tape) But I saw no signs stating that I was being video taped, so even if they tried to hit me with some silly ticket for relieving myself next to the truck, I'd simply call my lawyer and lean on my rights, correct?

I'm a bt tardy in posting this, but here's the best one I caught on 3/3.. Would type up a full report, but I gotta cop some Z's.. :i

Cool, I'll bee looking for ghosts all day now! lol we aren't putting in til ten or so, but we should catch up to you pretty easy, I won't get to d an excessive amount of intentional fishing on this trip.. Good luck!

The wife and I are coming down for a Sunday float.. You'll recognize me as the guy drooling over your boat/motor setup.. Also easily identified as the guy with the beautiful woman in te front of the boat who keeps saying "You ARE gonna fish EVERY hole, you big fat liar!" also, the pink shirts and finger nails are a dead giveaway.. I'll be "whispering" up a few trout of my own.. Good luck..

now how in the world are we conspiracy theorists supposed to take this newly found insight? Are you just trying to throw us off the "scent", so to speak? Berry, berry sneaky sir.. You may have won the battle, but you CANNOT win the war! As soon as we get the politics in the US sorted out, we're coming for you.. (please don't take me seriously.. I joke, I joke.. I keeeed I keeeeed.. )

Where may I mail this video to, and when can I expect a check (that won't bounce)?

Just as soooooon assss it waaaaarms up, buuuuuuddy... can I make it a pink thong, at least? (so it matches my nails and my ultralight)

yeah, at least in that instance you could accidentally bump him with the fly rod tip in your backcast., just to keep him on his toes.. lol

Cause it did, Eric.. Not really, I Got away with it, but (oddly enough) got caught when I came back with a bucket and a shovel to clean up my mess... Explaining to the agent just what the heck I was doing wasn't fun, but I didn't get a ticket or anything.. How would they write up a ticket for that, anyway? What would the infraction be? "Removing foreign materials from the park without the proper permits" or something, eh? LOL Flysmallie: Momma has two pictures from when I was two. One of me standing on a toy drum, clapping and smiling. The next is a photo of me on the floor crying, holding my head, the drum upturned next to me. I'm pretty sure that's what happened. Why? (lol) Fozzie, you took me much more serious than I was taking you. As you can see I am a bit of a joker.. (when your parents name you Cricket you learn to take life a with a laugh instead of the usual "serious face") Lemme start over, just this once, for you.. (envision a goofy grin, now) I don't have a problem with being video taped when I am on public property, as long as I am made aware. That is, if I am not mistaken, a constitutional right. Thanks. RC: Looking forward to seeing ya down here, glad I could make you chuckle.. It made me chuckle typing it up, so it's only fair.. Pat:NOOOOOOO! THEYRE ALL GONNA LAUGH AT YOU!!! Lay off the southpark and have a bloody, buddy.. (now very few people will get that reference or how it ties into the first sentence in all caps)

Yeah, well you can't (sucessfully) correct a salesman, either..

if I had a PC I could post pics (or video) from I would gladly post a few pics and videos of crane creek trout in the 10-15 inch area.. Would that be better, lil buddy? Your right about one thing, I wouldn't have had near as much fun being elbow to elbow with all the goofs at Bennett that day.. lol

The only thing that's worse than having a sudden case of diarrhea in the woods is getting drug out of the woods in handcuffs with crappy pants around your ankles.. And I don't put EVERYTHING in my fishing reports, otherwise I would have had to add "Fishing below the island was great but don't go on the island.. I had an accident there and youmay wanna steer clear until after a decent flood.." I know, I know.. MDC isn't going to rethink their "watch em from afar with camera/binoculars/etc" policies just because ihave bowel problems when I Wade the river.. But for those of you who aren't getting our point, consider this: Would you be offended if you found out your parents have been keeping you under surveilance since you left home? (and used your money to buy the equipment) Wouldn't that bug you? Even if you were sure you had been "good".. Heck most especially if you had been good, right?

Scheister... now go change your signature.. lol

I'll loan you my 5 horse Briggs and Stratton.. (I have no idea how to answer your question... Now gets some sleep, there's fish to be caught tomorrow buddy!) Now who's gonna give me and my man Solus the skinny on this fellows lake? Is he gonna hafta wait til I got time to haul the John boat down there?
