Thanks guys . Been on here for 12 years (as a follower longer )Have enjoyed all the benefits of great fishermen who deal out a ton of knowledge on this site . The learning curve to catch fish while choosing my "style" has been greatly shortened to me by many on this site from Maine to Texas , California to South Carolina . Was not to long ago David ,"G", and I was a Endville grocery having a biscuit on my way to deer hunt . David, just his morning trip . We were discussing the site and comparing it to years gone by . I often came to camps, Crankfest, and cookouts but my motive was to fish . Often saw a few guys that I only saw a few times a year or once every five years . David shared to me it was not just about fishing or these folks would not share all the years of learning with people they do not know . It was about relationships, friends, people with a common interest ,fishing, serving as glue . Kind of hit home when I heard of his passing as well as others that are no longer on the site . All those times that a few more fish to have a limit was more important than sitting around cooking, eating , Sharing each others company . Every time I think of members like "g" , Knight shadow 10 , Mr. Goodtime, Blackhawk 19 , And others I could have known better it is a constant reminder of how short life is and how I/we can focus on the lesser values in life if not careful . I say all this in attempt to let you know I seek not for any thing but a opportunity to carry on the work of those that gave us this great site . May we all continue to be blessed , be kind to all, and have tight lines .Fish on .

Very well said Sir. Very well said indeed. I believe you will continue the legacy as it should be.

Nicely put coach and congrats! Sure miss the Mississippi spring camps and the Crankfest get together in the summer. Events like those gave me the opportunity to meet so many great people on this site who share the love of crappie fishing.
