Excellent! We should probably start naming names as far as how many are coming. The resort would like us to call a few days out and let them know how many to plan on. Muddy you can make the call, or I ma happy too also. Here's what I have for now: Me (Friday and Saturday nights) Terrierman (Saturday night) GotMuddy (Friday and Saturday nights) Ham (What nights?) Little Red (Friday and Saturday nights) Phil Lilley (Friday night) Al Agnew and Hoglaw with fiancée are probables.

I wonder where they get their bass?

Yeah maybe they were helpless against Auburn no matter what they did on defence.

I don't know if I can accept the "Missouri D can't adjust" argument. That's pretty sorry if they can't. They did adjust on the first series of the 3rd quarter, brought up a couple of linebackers to the line of scrimmage, and stopped Auburn that series. Then the following series they dropped the linebackers back 4 yards off the LOS and Auburn was off to the races. Maybe making adjustments wouldn't have worked, but it's just plain dumb to play the same ol' same ol' when the other team is racking up 500 yards of rushing.

Maybe that was their thinking: "Auburn thinks we'll adjust our defence to stop the run and they'll come out passing. We'll fool them by not changing anything and mess up their passing game."

I think there's a lot of Mizzou fans wondering the same thing.

I'm using IE 10.

Still snowbound, so I'm reading all these old threads... Didn't realize that land was going for $3K/acre, but with AGFC getting 1/8 on the sales tax, they've got some money. Maybe manage it like MO manages their trout parks, pay a fee to fish, have daily trout stockings in a catch and keep section and have another section for catch and release fishing. Manage the surrounding land as quail habitat.

It would be cool to float the Yellowstone, then on to the Missouri, retracing the Lewis and Clark expedition. Going downstream. Have the journals in hand and compare what they saw to what it is now. And of course do some fishing.

Yes get well soon Terrierman, we'd like to have you there!

My biggest brown is 7.75 lbs., caught it during a little family get together. We spent a week at a lodge near the dam in May 1987 and fished every day. I got the brown on a Little Cleo, spray painted white on one side. Also caught a 6 lb. brown on that trip. I've fished the White 3 times since then, never have caught another brown.

Did you catch any?

Lamb chops - Yum! I haven't had them in years, but they are tasty.

It will be interesting to see what is the biggest fish someone from the group gets. I have to think someone will get a brown in the 3-5 lb. range.

They had a strategy?

What has me scratching my head is Mizzou comes out in the 3rd quarter, first series they are on defence, and has a couple of linebackers on the line of scrimmage. They shut down Auburn that series. But after that they revert to a 3 or 4 man front with the linebackers playing 5 yards off the line of scrimmage. What the heck? And how many times do you watch the guard opposite where the run is going, pull to the other side and block the linebacker and seal the end of the line? Can't the defence read that guard and figure out what is coming? Mizzou's defence looked totally unprepared.

Wow, all things considered I can't believe Mizzou is only down 1. Hopefully they'll come up with something at halftime to stop the Auburn run game.

Well you guys are welcome to fish them too. so you'll have to help me with the count.

Muddy - Make sure you grab some, I'll trade you for some brisket!

The jigs have arrived, one dozen of each color, half 1/16, half 1/8.

I saw a bit of the 2nd half. They drained some threes, built a lead and maintained it.

Did you try the "attach files" option to post your pictures? Weird that only this site is blocking you from copying and pasting.

I haven't noticed any problems copying or pasting stuff.

Those Daichis are so sharp they scare me. I'm very careful in un-hooking a fish if there are Daichi trebles involved.

When I was living in Washington, I lived at the base of Mount Si, which topped out at about 4,000 feet. There were 2 trails to the top, the original trail which had been decommissioned, and a new trail that had just opened a few years before. The old trail parking lot was closed and because of that it received very little traffic. One fine spring day, my neighbor and I were outside talking and we decided to take a hike up the old trail up to the snow line. The trail started with about a 200 yard stretch of steep uphill and then came to a small, plateau like area before beginning to climb the mountain again. We reached the flat spot and noticed a few bones near the trail, we stopped and briefly checked them out and came to the conclusion it was probably the remains of a deer. We made it up to the snow line and came back down the trail, when we came to the spot where the bones are we stopped to look at them again. I poked around a little in the brush and came across a rib cage - it was flat, not having that peaked shape where the ribs came together on 4 -legged animals. I called my buddy over and told him this didn't look like animal bones to me, he agreed and we poked around some more and found a jawbone - and it was obviously human. Got back to the house, called the cops, 15 minutes later a deputy sheriff showed up, he was skeptical, thinking we'd found an animal and mis-identified it, but the jawbone description convinced him to make the short hike with us. Once he saw the remains, he agreed it was human and called in the cavalry. The police did the CSI thing, and identified the remains. It solved an open case for them. It was an older fellow, Seattle resident, late 60's if I recall, who had shot his wife, buried her in the garden, and reported her missing. He had been able to collect her life insurance and then had disappeared himself. I can't remember the details, but after he disappeared his wife's body was discovered. As far as the police could determine, he'd walked up the trail, stepped off a ways, and shot himself. Critters had gotten into the bones and scattered them about, including the ones we saw near the trail. The whole thing was featured on America's most wanted. Never did get my 15 minutes of fame for finding the body, the Seattle Times just mentioned that the body had been found by "Hikers". There were some unanswered questions - no one ever found the insurance money, how did the guy get to the trail - his car wasn't parked there? But the official ruling was that is was a suicide and that was that.
