I know this topic has been posted a couple of times but there are some new members on here that may not know some of our stories. Plus I found an old picture to go with my story.
I named my user name after a yellow lab I had at the time "Shadow" She was a great dog but I only had her for about a year and a half before she got hit by a car and killed by my house in the country. Got to hunt her one season and she did good for a new dog, couldn't wait to hunt her the next season but she didn't make it that long. She also liked to go fishing with me and that is where this picture comes from. The funny part about this story is the first gathering that my family and I went to was at Darbonne (I think) and I told my wife that if anyone asked for shadow, that they were asking for me b/c that was my screen name. She said good thing I told her, b/c she would have told them that shadow was dead! Could you imagine the looks on the other members faces if they heard a guy that was coming was now dead?! lol As you can see in this picture, Shadow thought the jigs looked good enough to eat also!

We going fishing daddy?
