Glad to hear Ben! Just listen to the doc and dont over do it, and you will be back to do what you love.

Glad your home. Get plenty of rest and follow the docs instructions.

Thanks fellas. I felt pretty good this morning. Now towards afternoon it is getting a bit tender below the cut. Its gonna be hard to take it easy because I just recently got some goodies to play around with (new baitcasting outfit and a new hoyt) and watching them sit around collecting dust for two months is going to be torture.

Good deal! We'll continue to pray though.

Maybe I should take your boat out and run it around pulling some bass off the stumps to make sure things keep moving and dont rust up.

Carolina Coyote · January 17, 2015, 04:43:52 AM

Glad you are feeling better and if your boat turns up missing you know where to look.

If you could put it in the water through the ice id be game. Just drag me along and i'll watch. Unfortunately even the river is froze now. Dad wants to head to a local fishing show to see ken penrod speak so we'll see how that goes. No percocets since thu night so far. Only tylenol. I dont feel bad right now mostly my back hurts from sitting in the recliner the last two days.

Heal up big Ben, you'll need to be in fighting shape to haul some of those big catfish out of the river like I've seen you post on here.

Dale · January 18, 2015, 10:11:19 PM

I know what you're saying about the recliner... I spent 5 weeks sleeping in mine when I had the MC accident the other year... just take it easy and heal up right, spring's a coming on...
