I had a great time at the shoot. They just get better and better. And I always like getting together with everyone. Rob, Billy, Johnny B., Diane, eveybody. It's always a blast! I finally got to meet the Indy Boys for the first time. (the new boat kicks a$$ guys!).

Mark's boat had absolutely no problems at all. Not even a bad light-bulb. Well, he did have one connection break knocking out his 24-volt lead, so the troller would only work on 12-volt, but that wasn't a problem. Someone just kicked the plug and pushed it apart. Everything else worked great. And we broke it in well too. We all made some decent shots through the night, but you could tell it was our first shoot of the year. Next time....

Here's a picture of my first bowfin. I didn't take any good pictures of it because I was so tired by then, I didn't even think about it. But you can see my shoe at the bottom of the picture, so you can see about how big it was. And look at the green on the pectoral fins. Pretty cool.
