Had two buddies over for a week of smallie fishing, poker & beer. We got a boat load of smallies over five but only one over six at 6.5lbs. Great fun as always. I must admit I'm a better fisherman than a poker player as my poker luck sucked. The beer was cold & the comraderie was great as usual. Here a few pics from our week. All fish were caught on jerk baits.

Fishing is my idea of a good lip piercing!
I have also found that when it comes to friends, a good friend will come and bail you out of jail, but best friends will be right there beside you saying d**n that was fun !!!

You're still making it happen Dwight.
Looks like good times were had by all.
Very stout smallies right there ~ as usual.
The weather looked fairly cooperative, at least in the photos.
While playing poker, do you guys bet using jerkbaits ?
I can see it now - "OK, I'll see your 3 deep husky jerks and raise you - 2 pointer 100's And a Smithwick ! "

Now if you could only figure out a way to make the brown gold into poker chips, you'd be ahead!

Beer and fishing have poker beat by a country mile.
Congratulations on a boatload of sows,
which in your case is business as usual
