Weekend fishin trip......)
In all fairness and being from the Great Voting State of
Florida, I must place a protest (who isn't these days). Yes he was all
that was stated, but he did lacked on one thing. Remember when I was bucket
boy going into the deep swamp, I came a running (if you could even call it
that with the mud, holes and weeds) when someone needed the bucket.
We had to come to his side of the river, wading,
tripping, or swimming, yes he was a fair bucket boy and everything
said about him.
I lost about six fish on the trip home and over night, not
bad odds. I got a few that I am treating for one thing or another.
The So. Amer. catfish (maybe, the vote on the pictures haven't be recounted
yet) are showing good color and swimming around. My old Flag fish is in
shock, with all the babies swimming around his tank. I should have
warned him what it is like to be a grandfather figure.
Well i have stop here so I can leave for school
tonight. Now you all got three hours to bet on me while I gone.

Lest Chris "The ERP bucket boy" Guppenberger create a
wrong impression, I would like to point out he served equally well on our
Titusville (FL) ERP mission as:
* Locations coordinator
* cast-net
boy
* convoy lead
* southern dimple-fish recovery boy
* seine
boy
* baby snapping turtle bite/pressure test boy (he didn't really
VOLUNTEER for that, tho, AFAIK)
* muck boy
* "get out of the way of
that airboat, it's coming this way" boy
* rain boy
* inseine boy
*
more rain boy
* and I'm sure other critical roles I've overlooked.
(In fairness we have to downgrade his performance slightly for
having re-grouped us back in the channel to watch (and listen) to the
airboat from the rear after it passed us, thus perfectly setting us when its
traveling partner, a second airboat, hove around the bend ... can you spell
Celebrity Airboat Bowling and seven-ten split?)
But back to the
Bucket-Boy thing, I think I speak for everyone on this little expedition
when I say that Chris clearly demonstrated Bucket-Boy technique and skills
that would rank in the top three or four practitioners in the field on this
occasion.
