One hell of a trip regardless. Fish or no fish, I had a great time hanging out with everyone. I never got the skunk off the entire trip. So no fish pics for me.

Saturday night was more of the same: drinking, hanging out, and eating good. Grilled amberjack fillets, cocktail sausages, pork loin, boston butt, chili, etc. Woke up Sunday and everybody parted ways. We decided to go up to higher water with hopes that brook trout would cooperate and hopefully the water would be lower and slower....

The water was clear, but the rocks were slicker than owl s%#@ and the water was too fast..

We snapped a quick group photo and headed back with the smell of skunk. Had a great time just being outside and hanging out smoking cigars and drinking with the guys. Come spring, I need redemption.........

Well played Matt. The fucking rain almost ruined my last second dash to tell mother ature to kiss my bollocks. Smokies are especially devious at foiling trips. Fuck it all mate, we;ll smash 'em soon enough ;D -0-

Sucks man. Well at least you made it out. I hope to add a TR here by thursday. Shitty weather sure has kept me on the bottle and at parties when I should be fishin' instead....

I believe I could hang out with you guys for a while....

ex - I'm not going to live with you through one more fishing season!
me -There's a season?

Pastor explains icons to my son: you know like the fish symbol on the back of cars.
My son: My dad has two fish on his car and they're both trout!

Thanks guys. There was no shortage of whiskey and scotch. In fact, the first morning someone said, "You know we've got some good liquor when the Maker's 46 hasn't been cracked open yet." It was a fun trip, but come spring I am going to do another run at it.
