Okay, I finally got some pix downloaded and ready to go from our vantage point!

Here's part of the arsenal in the garage staying warm for one cold day on the water:



Me and Fishgal and our weapons of mass destruction, you'll notice the paintball splatters on the side of the boat from return fire:



An upstream view of one netting battle (whoever nets the fish owns it in this game). Robbo tries to turn fish with Kev tending net and B Gray rowing. Pat & Piper coming in for the kill ... okay Pat just managed to bust the fish off, still can't net :



Sparkey with his 2nd place fish (also from my boat with Parker's fish and Jo-Jo's in the other thread). A pretty, smaller nate that fell victim to Snoopy!




More pix and vid links on next post, have 8 image limit

More pix:

How 'bout a group hero shot with some of our fisheys



And the winners? Ryan takes second place and denies Bob a threepeat of donning the green jacket! Oh well, I rowed way more and spent too much time with spudgun to fish



But BNelson and ReiterRat show the real green (they don't really win it, we just give it to them so they buy everyone else drinks & dinner). BNelson with the trophy for the next year!! No plug fish count next year fellas

Want some live action video?? Here are some links:

I don't know about the legality of bottle rockets right now, so someone write me a nice note if I need to take this down, but it's still pretty funny). Just after Bob launches a direct hit on Robbo's gunnel from 150+ yards with the tater gun, we recieve return fire from the bank, Bob reloads and kindly purposely fires a warning shot across their stern (I think too much damage at this range), Ryan's by the heater, waders steaming and thinks he's on fire so you watch him try to dunk leg in river, and Fishgal ducks for cover!

Next vid, watch Ryan play a fish from his knees with too long of a leader (no slip bobber, lesson learned for next time) while EVERYONE tries to net it! Parker's rowing, Fishgal's taping and then barking directions for "Oars!" as we float into the riffle and Pat busts off yet another fish of another boat!

Thanks to all who participated, it's a great chance for me to get out on the water in the frame of mind of who cares? and do anything!

Next year, I'm gonna figure out how to launch leftover pumpkins!

Correction there Bob.... I believe you busted off our fish since it was, in fact, in our net at the time...

:p

ya, you guys arent crazy , altho shootin fireworks at each other looks fun...roman candles fights..ahhh the memories..all fun and games till someone gets a eye poked out...LOL

Nice Tater gun Bob! Just make sure Coho doesn't get his wristrocket out, he's a helluva shot!

Holy crap! When is the next trip? you guys have way too much fun! I need to know the ballistics on the tater gun! Too cool!

Nice pics and vids, looks like loads of fun
