Thumbs up Re: Thrill of a Lifetime!

This pic needs to be shared!......Thanks Dean Palmer for sending me this pic.
Thanks everyone once again for all of the good wishes, and thanks to everybody who worked so hard to put this together!

I highly recommend that each of you win the SPO at least once!

First, third, and fourth place grouper.

Re: Thrill of a Lifetime!

That is an awesome pic! The Bohica got on some fish. Nice job John

I have to throw out some props to Lou with his 4th place. This is his 30+ SPO in a row and there was nothing keeping him out of this one. His ankle was a couple times bigger than it should have been from an injury, but he hung in there and killed that monster. You make us younger guys live up to a pretty high standard. Nice job
