it takes to get you on some nice fish, i will never be looking at the time waiting for the trip to be over. it is my job to get you on fish, and i make a promise to you that i will try my hardest to make sure you have a blast!! those early greetings turned into our present day mad rush to get those cards out in time for christmas. while it can be a real pain, its so nice to hear from friends far away. reminds me, i better get busy! your new book sounds like a winner beth!
