Damn strait!!

[Kajun]

Joe..you are definetly " big pimpin" now!!....thats sure is one nice catfish cadillac....i can see it now...everyone inside all warm and toasty argueing about whos gonna step outside in the cold to pull that catfish in lol

[striperjoe32]

you can read my mind kajun, you are welcome to fish with me in jan and feb. just holler dude ! Actually the inside looks better than the outside, I got me a full length sofa , big ole captain's chair, a jensen stereo and ready for this - TILT woodgrain steering wheel. Go figure ! later , gotta rest up for tomorrow as me and my dad will give it a whirl (i've got a 10 hour break in that's gonna slow me up a little. It's a 115 not a 155 but should go pretty good, we'll see.

[javelin99]

Nice boat. I'm sure you won't sleep tonight knowing that baby is waiting for you in the morninig.Again one awesome boat

[Blackielee]

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEt![excited]

[jonnycat]

I've always said a deck boat would be the way to go. Congrats on such a nice vessel. See you soon---jonnycat

[racn35]

I would not have even went to bed- I woulda slept on the boat in the drive way........she would have had to bring me supper out there ! 5 am - good luck Joe !! dont know if Dayton made it down here yet or not.......I am hitching onto mine and heading out at sun-up on a solo trip today !

[wasabi]

Noice! Slime it up!

[Blackielee]

I beleave you could live on a boat like that.[grin]

[fish-on]

Nice boat you have there joe. Doug.

[willis]

You cant miss that boat on the water. I think i saw you near Woodsons Rock about noon. Unless there is another boat like that on the river. Nice boat StriperJoe..

[tank3544]

nice!

how long's it gonna take you to get that thing covered in slime?

[love2fish73]

Hey Willis, that was Mike Ostrander, but I think that the two will be difficult to tell apart with the curtains up. How did you end up doing today? We had 40,30,30 and then we had to tow MY TIME in and that shot the rest of our time on the river.

aka Thread Killer

[willis]

Hey Eric ended up with eight fish biggest went 35lbs. Nice to meet you guys on the water, sorry to hear about my time.

[earlyriser]

great looking boat

[Andyb]

Could take some time to slime it up if it were waiting for Joe to do it. Maybe Mr. Cannon can slime it up before spring. [grin] Just kidding Joe, nice ride, can't wait to here some Bluegrass Gospel blasting down, up river..............

[racn35]

i am jealous !

[joe from oxford]

You're showing us how to do it Joe....sit "indoors" with a heater, drink coffee, wait for a call to go outside. Nice looking boat - congrats. jfo

[striperjoe32]

Big Problem JFO - I can not find a 12V coffee maker for my dad and 1 cup in the am is just not enough. Heck - what if I have guest or someone drop in unexpectedly(Ranger, BigCat, Racn35, etc.) I need to show hospitality, right ? You are always invited by the way. I got room for more than 2 or 3 trust me. Heck - I need to take someone who can catch some bigun's without traveling 45 miles down river like some guys. You know guys that like to "spin a bait"...............!!!! Now he KNOWS his boat is faster than mine. Hey dude, life is a marathon not a sprint. Right????

striperjoe

[spin-a-bait]

I like your boat joe....its got to be one of the most comfortable rigs on the river but me personally I would rather run 60mph for 30miles in my boat in 10 degree weather and catch big fish rather than be warm and not catch anything.....not saying you dont catch fish because I know you have caught 5 times more fish than me

[basstardo]

I recognize that boat! I was out there around y'all last Saturday. I was in the old blue and white Larson. Two guys in the boat , one with a blaze orange beanie on. Me and my buddy were talking about how nice that setup was![grin][grin] Give us a shout next time...we'll be out Friday and Saturday.

[Capt.Neil Renouf]

Joe, have a 12v coffee maker you can have, I use a stove perculator, just have to get it to you....

[wasabi]

Here you go Joe - lots of useful 12V stuff there that starts tomake more sense when you have a rig like that!
