Thanks for all the kind words; I really appreciate it. On a higher note, my daughter and I fished an open tournament on Candlewood Lake today; it was her first one. I wasn't sure if she would want to go this morning so I was going to give her a choice when I went down to wake her up. No need for that, she woke me up at 5:15am dressed and ready to go; she wanted to know why I was still sleeping. She caught her first tournament fish about 10am; she was so excited(almost as much as I was). The smallie weighed about 2 3/4. She caught quite a few fish with 2 good enough to make it to weigh in. It was a beautiful day filled with boat problems, but we handled it in stride and ended up placing 2nd. A good day of fishing, an excuse to skip school, and getting paid for it; what's better than that?! I asked my daughter that question and without missing a beat, she said "winning!".
