They have kept my un-insurable body alive for the last zillion years, so they get my wholehearted support.

826 is awesome, but isn't life or death.

Pick the Country Doctor Clinic!!

Mr. Poe @ 2: It's amazing how the threat of a confiscated boat keeps limits in check!



jseattle @ 27: Yes, those two Kings did indeed come from EB. Confidential to the sad fisherpeople: Green splatter glow hootchie 36" behind a green/glow hotspot with 85' on the wire trolled faster than about 80% of the fleet produced the bigger Chinook... Fish number two came off a cop car Coho Killer virtually on the surface with only a 4oz banana weight - A bonus fish off the third rod!



My vote for next year: Puget Sound Restoration Fund.
