    Really with the ohio state hat?

    The moment of truth. Where all other things unconsciously melt away from our minds the instant a fish takes our fly. We stand there on the water with wide eyes, caught in a battle stance with an idea of confidence and hope

    Nothing meant by the hat .. Ohio is home. I admire what PSU is doing on and off the football field in light of the turmoil. God Bless..Hock

    I quess I should have clarified what was meant by my PSU comment. I was referring to the football teams sense of resolve and unity in there commitment to one another in the face of adversity. In the end they have been an example of doing things right where it seems maybe some leaders at the university failed. God Bless..Hock

    Hock....I was fishing near you Saturday in the blue gambler....you definitely were on the fish! Our biggest were 5.3 and 5.5

    If you don't mind, pm me...what were u using? I know you were on a better group of fish, but you out fished us at least 4-1 and I consider myself a pretty good stick!

    O, and it was pretty cool that 3 of the 4 boats in the area were from Ohio....

    Hock,

    You have a pm.

    And I was there while he was catching these fish.....even more impressive than the fish they caught is the way he handled himself. There was a guy who was literally fishing within 10feet of him, creeped in on his spot and hock never said a word. To make it worse, hock left his drift to go check on another boat tha was in distress a few hundred yard away, this other boat pulled right into hocks spot as soo. As he left!!

    I would have seriously exchanged words with this joker, but hock just moved out a little, set up another drift and started catching fish!

    Thanks for sharing that story, JF.  Hock's fish are impressive, to be sure, but sounds like his character is more impressive still.

    I appreciate the kind words!! Jesus deserves ALL the credit though!! Before He changed my life I would have been doing doughnuts around his boat..lol! After all I have been forgiven of it is the least I can do to forgive and move on. I would be lying if I said it was not tough to bite my lip though : )His strength not mine! God bless..Hock The fishery you have there is awesome!!

    Dang man, even as a bass hater I gotta admit those are some nice ones.  I'd actually like to do this..except not during steelhead season.

    Those are some toads! Awesome Hock congrats on a great day. 5 pounders in November - can't believe I've never fished Erie in the Fall. That's some great motivation right there.

    I've been telling you!  We'll just have to head to deep water in the summer, when there's no thoughts of steelies fogging your brain!
