Excellent! You certainly slayed them. :2thumbs:

Thanks. I wanted to see if you caught the above sucker while flyfishing (which apparently is the case) and took a look at your excellent blog. Nice. I couldn't help but notice your line about nailing an interview. ?? I take it that you are a journalist...... beyond your own fishing reporting?

1. It was actually caught on spin gear, hitting a marabou jig. Much like a heavy bugger, I find them a bit easier to use since there's less line drag. Also, I just happened to have a spinning rod handy in the car and used the location (Draper) as an excuse to hit the J-Riv for a few minutes.
2. The interview was something to be excited about at that time, as I was at the end of a 2 month stint of looking for work. After being employed at the same place for the past 8 years, it was a pretty desperate feeling to watch my resources drain as I hunted for work.
So the interview went really well and I knew I'd hear back. Later that night, I was informed that I got the job (warehouse mgr). I was very hopeful and grateful, although after only a few weeks of working there, it was obvious that I needed to get out of there. The place was a joke and the owners were awful.
Now I'm a shipping mgr elsewhere, closer to home, earning more and enjoying the people I'm around.
I wish that writing was a means for income. That would be great.
