Right on! I hope to be doing the same at 52 years young.

Thanks. Aaron/Julie, Chris nailed it...launched at gray light to make macks to bug later that night. Glad I took a couple of rods with me and when I made some nice greenies right off the bat...my game plan changed. Drove home at noon, called the wife to p/u two big bags of ice, dropped off the fish and grabbed my hoop stuff. Had limits of bugs before 9pm...Jim

That's some damn fine work right there.

You guys are killing me. I wish I was only 52. At 52 I did have a lot more energy. At 65 the pace is a little slower and yes there are parts of the body that hurt sometimes. Most of that is from not enough activity, like I did when younger, so when you do something less frequent, you are not in the best of shape. I did get my left knee replaced almost 3 months ago and that took care of some bad bone on bone pain I used to have. Now as the ligaments and muscles get better I hope to get is better shape and loose some weight. Staying in shape and weighing less is the key. Until I was 47 I used to play soccer 2 to 3 times a week and that kept me in shape until the bad knee just couldn't take the running. Now I try to fish on the kayak and paddle for miles to get a work out.

Damn! You're 52, you got your front cavity filled and you got slammed? Sounds like a great day and evening to me!!

Way to go Old Man!!
