    It I had to name one angler to catch a fish-to save my life, it would be you Steve. Yes I know it’s your job too but thank you for inviting us in to share in your adventures. That looks a lovely lake and a nice place to be at this time of year too. That historic 20 up getting ever closer but probably harder to achieve too. You can do it! Then once you have done it, which you will, my advice is take you and Joan on a trip to Thailand to hunt for a 200lb Thai carp, you would love it!
