JC - Believe me I would love to be in Idaho this Sept. I know I will be missing a great time. If it wasn't right on the heels of our yearly trip to New England I would be making plans to attend.

But it's like I told LadyFisher in a PM, you guys stay healthy because I definitely want to see you both in Idaho "next" year.

TIM - I hear ya! I've fished that 11 footer for 6 or 7 years, and it's time to get a rod that's a little easier on the back and arms.
