Gerry,
Congrats on 20 years. To think how much free time I had before NJ Fishing.

From lurking for a few years to being a member for almost 10 years. I do have to say the number of friends I have made over the years thru NJ Fishing of some really great people, and some not so great, is appreciated.

Continued success in the future.

Henry

From the helm of Pop-Pop's Toy, Bbbioonic B__ (didn't 'no' the spelling of that word was censored here:p), ROFLMFAOPMP, Roasters, Rockfish Smartie, Cawfee, Lady Di, Hefty trash bags, NJF Fantasy Football (ouch), fence shots, SeaTrekker, 'Always', Chelsea Roommates . . . .

Dang - I remember when door prizes outnumbered the guests at JJBitings.
Heck - I remember when our Captains were deckhands (& vice versa).

But I'd be lying if I didn't admit that the first thing that came to mind when Gerry started this thread was how much I/we miss Mike Wells/Life's a Beach.

So I'll share a brief story about the first time I met LAB in person - it was on my first NJFishing fishing trip (Stripers aboard the Mi-Jo).
- Before departure Mike gave the mate a humongous piece of beef - "here put this somewhere where it won't get fishy" (I didn't know Mike was butcher, a GENEROUS butcher)
- When Rammfish Robbie hooked into what was thought to be a sizable striper LAB commented "Now we'll get to see how strong that Cajun Red Mono is. Looks like you got a 24 footer" Sure enuff Rammie was tangled with the boat next to us :eek:
- LAB proceeded to photograph Rammie fighting the 24'er with his Spinner held upside-down. LAB had a NJF field day with that one.
- This trip pre-dated all our RFA trips, but definitely set the standard: nice boat, good Captain, good food and laughs . . . but NO FISH :p

Now here's a shameless plug for 2 links on NJF:
- 9th Annual RFA Flukathon Sat June 17th Official Sign Up - Let's fill 'er up: http://njfishing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=95828
- Fond memories of LAB: http://njfishing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60098

The friendships I've made with members and sponsors on NJF are priceless - thanks Gerry, it's genuinely appreciated !
