    Default retirement present

    I could not resist showing this picture off. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law got this for me for a retirement present. I caught this trout in the White River in December of 06. This mount was a great gift from them.

    What a wonderful gift AND fish - I hope you enjoy your retirement with many more just like that one (or larger!)
    Thank God for my wife, the midge nymph and those hapless Iowa Hawkeyes!

    That's a nice job, it does the fish justice.
