Starvation hard deck report

[TopH2O]

I certainly do love Mike just the same, even never having met him.  It was meant as a gentle ", , nude, nudge", not an actual hard time.  

As I've always said, "Pobody's nerfect".

I've known (and fished with) Mike for quite a few years.  I doubt he was greatly offended by your comments.  Probably chortled and guffawed a bit even.  Believe me, he gots thick skin and can give as good as he gets.  Ya don't wanna get into a battle of wits with him...especially if you are unarmed. 

Mike retired after a goodly number of years with DWR.  There ain't many members of the BFT family that are more knowledgeable about Utah's fish and fisheries.  Even better, he is a sharing kind of guy and is always willing to download info or help others improve their game or get more enjoys out of fishing. 

I wouldn't say that I "love" Mike.  He ain't my type.  But I sure enjoy his company and have a great deal of respect for him...and his whole family.  They are all great sports folks...including all brothers and sisters.

I'm flattered by the kind words Pat.  All of us in the BFT community know that you are one the most knowledgeable and informative fishermen out there.  We have all benefitted from your wealth of knowledge and real world experiences.  Keep on keeping on and we'll share some more water time ahead.
