Monkey dismounts back

Aaron Vance doesn't spend any of his free time studying flows, tying bugs, or humping gear.  He doesn't know the difference between Winston and Cortland. And he couldn't give a rats ass about Slab of the Year. 

Despite the infrequency of his flogging, this lifelong friend has been focused and determined for many years to meet Mr. Steel.  Aaron and I chase him together once a year and once a year he's given Aaron the fin.  This year, however, was different.  We finally swung up an introduction.  And in an extremely hetero way, I couldn't be more proud.

Nice fish and good for him. Couldn't tell the difference between Winston and Cortland? It doesn't matter and he's probably more fun to fish with anyway.

I am the guy in the pic. Was in a complete state of shock as the fish had eluded me for so long I started to have doubts it would ever happen. The experience was crazy and I have the bug in more ways then one... If you can not enjoy what I experienced this past weekend you are not livin'... I must thank the master angler who personally guided me and got me on the fish. Thanks Bun.
