Dear Lord, Please Watch Over Jack,
Amen,
Doug
Ed,
I did not notice if the gar had your fly or not. I was just glad my fly was in the corner of its mouth and I could get at it with my “ketchum release” tool! I let him go back to the river. Even though mankind thinks some of God’s creatures are trash or worthless, they were put here for a purpose and reason and I will let them live. He sure was fun on a 4 weight!! 
I went back there last night and your big bluegill are still there and a lot of fun. I did manage to catch 10 trout. There was another young man there with his black and tan coonhound pup named Huckleberry. Very nice person plus the pup and I had a great time playing in the water. He was very well mannered for a pup and he was just beautiful! The young man was just getting started in fly fishing and I assisted him, with my limited casting skills, with some casting lessons and also gave and installed a furled leader, flurorcarbon tippet and flies to him. He appreciated them and we agreed that if he saw my truck at the river, he would look me up and we would fish again. The company was good and the river was great!
I might go again tonight if the river is not covered up with people since it is a Friday.
I just checked them out. When I registered, they didn’t ask where I lived or anything. All they wanted was my e-mail, which would tell them nothing geographically. I don’t know what the requirements are, since none were listed other than agreeing to the forum rules. Anyway, I should know something shortly.
Maybe you forgot to agree to the terms or something.
Semper Fi!
Jack,
I think Gigmaster has it! I have forgotten to check that on various sites, & usually it blocks you from going further in the registration process…his reasoning makes perfect sense. Try again & let us know!
Mike
Well, the approval process was successful. I think maybe Jack just didn’t answer something, like the time zone, or other minor glitch. Mine went through quickly.
The site is not nearly as good as this one, but there is some good information there. It’s a good 2nd site. I got a fly pattern from there that I am tying as we speak. It uses Lee Press-On Fingernails, marabou and epoxy. It’s sort of a fly-spoon. I think it will work well.
Jack, try it again and pay close attention to all the boxes.
Semper Fly!
Warren, here is a link that shows you one way to unhook gar. It is a tad “tool intensive”.

Warm regards (probably hijacked from the Gulf Coast),

Jack,
I’m sorry I was ‘Forced’ to take ‘drastic measures’ and ‘Hi-Jack’ your post. The ‘Truth’ is that I want you to ‘Stay’ on ‘OUR’ BB. Those ‘Yahoos’ on that ‘Other’ site don’t deserve you.
If you send me your ‘Mailing Address’ I will send you a ‘Coupon’ that entitles you to ‘ONE’ free ‘Hi-Jack’ of ‘MY’ post.
Have Fun at the Fish-In!
Doug 
I am SO glad that I own waders…
Ed
Ed,
Did I go a ‘bit’ ‘overboard’?? 
P.S. OK! 2 free Hi-Jacks!
Dear Jack , I checked with the Prime Minister and He says you can come up Here if promise to behave. However there are no Blue Gills north of the border. :shock:
:lol: :lol:
Oh yeah I almost forgot there are no trout up here either. They were all shipped to the Black Hills. ROTFLMAO.
:shock: Aaacccckkkkk! Not the Black Hills!!!
Jack,
I would try again. I know that since I switched to a manual confirmation process on my site, I’ve probably rejected a few legitimate registrations accidentally when dealing with the spammers.

Jack,
Nice meeting you at the MI Fish-In. Try again, and this time check the block stating that you accept the conditions We southerns do accept yankee transplants regardless of what you hear. Especially if they fish and like Bourbon.
Well Jack, just for the heck of it I decided to try and register with this group. Everything looked okay until I received a message this morning saying that I had been rejected with no explanation other than I don’t meet there requirements. Well, I ain’t a yankee, by birth anyway, and I live in the Southeast. Very interesting. Maybe we are talking to a machine. It does make you feel a little rejected, doesn’t it
<Just a real quick hijack!! John, check your PM’S!!!><Thank you, and now back to your regular scheduling!!>
PM’s empty!!! :?
I made it into the SEFF yesterday!!
Jack,
AGAIN, I am sooooooo! sorry about you being rejected!
Also I wouldn’t care if those ‘Other Guys’ offered you a Free Car and gas for a YEAR! to jump ship.
The advice you get (for free) on FAOL is priceless and it doesn’t cost you anything either!
Welcome Home!
Doug
no, no, Sweet Cheeks!
Not Jack, this time … John … as in Campbell !
Betty,
I am perfectly aware of John’s dilemma, but I have miles of dialog already devoted to JACK!
As for my ‘nickname’ A MOTHER don’t say stuff like that! :lol:
