Just wanted you to know I have been keeping an eye on you for the past few years... and I know it doesn't mean much... but d**n kid... I am proud of you... I have watched you grow from a short lil chunk  to a tall dignified young man... Life has kicked us all in the butt from time to time but Senko never let it keep him down.. he went FISHING!... Just wanted to say my young friend... that when I get back from here... you are one of the first folks I want to go fishing with... I am proud to "know you" from this board.

AL

it's only been 3 yrs but many of us have seen you go from the chubby little boy to a tall young man.  We used to be the same height  : :)

At one time or another we were all the same height as you, no big deal

SENKO; Someday the Classic Leader Board is gonna have your name on top 8-)

At one time or another we were all the smae height as you, no big deal

Yep, 12 years old.....

At one time or another we were all the smae height as you, no big deal

You beat me to it Mudster.

Nice going Senko, I see a future Classic Contender. 8-) Keep sackin' them up.

Al, those are very kind words you have said. I know Ryan deserves them. I tell you it has been a great ride for me. I have totally enjoyed the oportunity to be a small part of Senko's life. He is an inspiration to us all. I am proud to call him my friend.

Gotta agree! The young man is already a "threat to the field"! One of the many I am excited about meeting at Guntersville.

Keep it up, Ryan!

I see so many of todays youths in my line of work, many many of them have no direction. When I deal with them I hear the same thing, "There's nothing to do"....

I too am so glad to see Ryan do so well. I do not know him personally nor have I ever met him. It's really nice to see a young person that has his stuff together.

He's a role model, alot of kids should lookk up to him

I really appreciate it Al.  Get back soon so we can fish!!!

Hey Ryan that trip up north is still good. I still want to get you a muskie.
