Truest two words I could think of. Grateful beyond those words to each of you for ensuring my freedom.

Always sweet to have someone fresh on board that actually posts !! Grateful for that... and welcome to you !

By far, one of the best reports I've read in a while. Any time one of you guys starts writing about his father, I start thinking about my own. Everything to do with conservation and gin clear trout streams I learned from my dad. Everything salt, I owe to Richard Cullip. Although others have contribu...

That's awesome. What a great thing to see. Hope it stays there forever, unmolested.

That's incredible ! Not sure if I want to go any bigger than a 7wt though. We all know what would happen... my next purchase would have to be a boat.

So I bought this rod from my friendly little local fly shop a little more than a month ago. Here's why... When I first started fishing the salt, I went with a slightly-over-medium action Echo 6wt that Jon Stanbery had sort of customized for me (I knew I'd be comfortable learning the salt by throwing...

Like you guys, I have to believe that since businesses are in business to make money, places like PB will start hitting us with fees as well. They'd be stupid not to. I wouldn't give away any service of mine, either. Money is money, man !

Got my general email today telling me, "We've noticed you're using PB for third party hosting." No kidding, clowns ! Been doing it for years ! Telling me to upgrade to 500. Uh, no thanks 'cuz I decided to go with a REAL photo host called IMGUR. Bye, Felicia.

Congrats !! I love hearing stories like this. My own is coming soon. No idea where I'll land yet. Enjoy it. You more than deserve it.

Whatever happens, I'm sure anyone losing money will find another way to get their hands deeper into our pockets to recoup any monies they feel they've lost.

Very nice. Agreed. And again, a necessary thanks to all our military - past and present - that have given so much - in some case, everything - to secure our continued freedom. Grateful beyond any words.

Just bought one. A 9' 7wt for the salt. What drove me to this rod was my latest slew of "tugs" that took my soft 6wt Echo over the edge and bent me in half. I felt totally undergunned. I have a St Croix 6/7 that is nice, but its also a med/fast - more toward the soft side - rod. I've had a...

I think now that they've realized how many people are using their storage system, why not make some money from membership? Glass half-full, but I wouldn't be surprised if IMGUR ends up doing the same thing in the future. I'm sure their membership will/already has increased courtesy of others just li...

Dude, IMGUR. Smartest thing we've all done.

Yep. Smart move. I went to the light side months ago because there was just too much writing on the wall. So glad I went with IMGUR.
