Pain killers

Wade,

Glad the headlamp helped.

Was full of self-pity out there, as the in-the-dark racket from all the WSB splashing on - or near - everyone elses yak was making me feel like Pepe LePew. Be I intrepid or some other "...pid", stayed out long enough to lose 5 irons, burn through all my bait, and learn/feel exactly where I didn't apply sun screen.

Long story short (for now), am nursing a sore left arm after fighting/losing the biggest (unknown) beast I've pulled on out there, experiencing yet again the miraculous beauty of the jewel's diversity (C&R of calicos, barrecuda - and even a BSB), and yes, finally returning triumphant after a mid-day bite w/ with the first LJ fish I've caught worthy of a senior bus pass (i.e., over 50 lbs).

If all goes well (and my long-term LJ water-brother, Rod, figures out how to send me the pics from his not-so-smart phone), I'll be able to post an OTW shot soon. In the mean time, gotta go find some more Tylenol.
