Could a cell phone fixit store replace the glass?

Come on man! That's not my MO. A little story about Bill Dance although, I have never met the man. My father won a raffle to fish a day with Bill Dance. My brother, may he RIP, was born mentally goofy. (In case it gets censored R3t@rded). My dad was able to bring my brother on the fishing trip with Mr. Dance. FFW many years. A number of years ago here on BR there was a thread about something or other. In the thread, I posted a pic of my brother fishing with Bill Dance when Bill was in maybe his early 30's. I also posted a short story about it. An old respected member on this forum who has gone on to build bigger and better things with his life sent me a PM(maybe a mod at the time I think) He knew Bill Dance thru the industry. He was touched by my story and said he could get Mr. Dance to autograph the pic. I mailed him 2 pics. One for me and one for my parents. A few months go by, a few more months go by, maybe a year or so goes by. All I'm thinking is how thrilled my parents would be to have an autographed pic of Mr. Dance and my brother. I shoot him a PM and he doesn't know what happened to the pics, can I send him more. I scan the pics, make them into prints and mail them out. Months go by again. I don't hear anything. One day I get a PM from another ex-mod asking for my address. I figured Great! maybe @Glenn was going to send me some free swag. Well, that didn't happen. A couple weeks later I received an envelope with 2 autographed pics with messages for both myself and my parents. I framed mine right away and it sits above my fireplace mantle. It says "Fish on. Steve would have wanted it that way" I gave my father the second one. I do not recall what it said. We were headed to the Chicago lakefront to launch the boat and spend the day perch fishing. Right after I picked him up, I handed him the pic. He didn't say a word, he just cried. There's a special place in my heart for Bill.

I watched a guy in a bass boat, in a folding chair, fall off the front deck, into the drink, from a boat wake.

Why was that?

Rich Tauber it is. Thanks guys

Nothing wrong with being cheap and easy.

Can you sacrifice a case and a half of Miller Lite?

You got something against banana hammocks?

I've never owned a bass boat.

If I sign up now it takes away all the suspense.

Would you saaaayyyyyy....a bit premature?

The one you can afford?

If they are not invasive, check your local regulations before you start killing them. If OP is going to kill them, he needs to throw them on the smoker.

Are they an invasive species where you fish?

Think I figured out the resizing Maybe not...

I could have bought a lot of lobster for what we paid for a 2 day charter on Erie. ?

This is human bait LOL

With roasted peppers and potatoes. Not too photogenic but fantastic.

It tells me you're unprepared.

How did it turn out?

As stated earlier in this thread, it's real easy to put 20 grand in add on's on todays boats. I've been researching hybrid bay boats for my next purchase. Some boats are $10K per foot over the base models. Motor costs have also skyrocketed. All comes down to How bad do you want it?
