For the 20 year loan guys, they say that the two happiest days in a boat owner’s life is the day they buy and the day they sell.

Losing a pet is difficult. So sorry for your loss.

The last time you farted in public.

I'm still trying to get passed the sleeping until noon bit. Who does that?

A commendable jump to an honorable occupation. Go for it!

Don't tell me that was one of your custom rods....

The most extreme cognac I've ever tasted was Hennessy Ellipse. A friend bought a bottle upon his retirement. There's really nothing I can compare it to.

I can't believe how much Louis XIII has gone up in price in the last several years.

Nice. That looks like a whiskey that wants to be cognac when it grows up.

Also a very good cigar!

Big fan of Arturo Fuente cigars. The Opus X are amazing. I especially like the Fuente Fuente Super Belicoso. Pair with anything that Jeff suggests and you're in for a great evening.

Planing is also something that never happens when Raider and Tipptruck both get on a boat. At the same time.

Congratulations! Nothing like getting your first bass boat.

Happy birthday!

I haven't had a chance to see it yet.

This thread is about Mike. If there's anyone on this board that deserves respect it's him.

Mike is an exemplary individual. His devotion to his wife is commendable, and quite rare in todays era. Your remark is uncalled for bassh8er. Perhaps you should take the advice Sam has opined.

Good going Clayton. Congratulations.

If you manage to fish on a 522D, I'd love to hear your opinions on it.

I do not. There's a picture of the two side by side somewhere on the internet. It's pretty apparent how much taller the 522D is. To me it doesn't even look like a bass boat.

For the areas I fish (CA Delta and some private lakes) I need a boat that can get into skinny water. The 522D is not built for that. It's half walleye boat/half bass boat.

Ahhh! My eyes!

Feliz cumpleaños!

Thanks pal.

Needless to say, exceeded my expectations. Looks factory. Works well with the Speciale.
