LOL, no you guys didn't run me off. Been busy this weekend working on cleaning some stuff out of the house and putting it on eBay since this bitter cold is keeping me indoors.

You certainly are a great group of guys and i enjoy this site with all your posts Red and others too.

I'm glad it came to all this really. It put me in a reading mode and i have learned some things about what we have been talking about. That's another reason why i join sites like this. To make new friends, to learn from others and share experiences and ideas. It has changed my aspects on a couple things and i conclude in agreement that the new 40" reg will do nothing harmful to our fisheries. I have debated this with my friends all year and maybe now that i know more about it i can try and explain it to them also the philosophy of such. I also really like the idea of slot limits for eyes and will check into that more also. Old dogs can learn new tricks. Thx
