Congrats Ryan, I know that was a long time coming for you. Way to stick with it. Good thing you were in a dependable boat with an E-Tec.

Thanks! It certainly feels good to put all the shoulda-coulda-woulda crap behind me. The three days I was there were among the worst continuously bad conditions I've encountered up there. I owe it all to Frank for getting us through it, and making the absolute best out of a bad situation.

I learned a hell of a lot about adapting to challenging conditions. I mentioned it plenty that I always prefer casting, but the reality was most of that trip it wasn't just unpleasant to do so, but in many ways not possible to do so effectively. Where I would have likely given up and headed for the cabin, Frank put the trolling rod in my hand and kept us on the fish. And Frank learned that if I said, "snagged" it actually meant, "get the net."
