Hi:

I've just joined this group and looking forward to participating. If you
want to see me in action, here's a recent TV appearance.

Barry, welcome to the group and thanks for joining. You are in luck my
friend. I saw in your video that you lost your hat in the wind. We happen
to be running a membership special which includes a ROFB hat, t-shirt, and a
membership card depicting all the rules and privileges thereto. Mass
mailings will follow in short order.

Hey, those were some pretty nice carp you caught. What were the vertical
markings along the top of the spine of the fish? They almost looked like
propeller scars on the manatees in Florida.

One piece of advice. Loosen up. Have a little fun. Let your hair down.
Fishing does not have to be such a serious event.

Seriously, you look like you know what you are doing out there. Do you have
any bass down under? You might have to come up here and get aquainted with
the King of Fish. Steve could put a little outing together for you on his
new boat.
