Another group session for Dan and friends.
82 fish between you guys is a great way to enjoy the outdoors. I do not always start my day with calm thoughts, but once I get on the water my thoughts do calm down.

Thanks for sharing

Something about the water and fishing always has a happy calming effect on me. I really appreciate we have the opportunity to do this. Great sharing the water with SP Dan and GT today even though I was lagging and pretty far back in the "rear" LOL. Congrats on that toad Dan! I never get tired of seeing 'em.

Hey Jerdon,

Once I get settled in to my float tube and I finally get a line out in the water is truly when I truly relax and to feel the calm.

David I really like your underwater still shots a lot! Please keep em' coming! Thumbs Up I prefer them much more than the Go-Pro version videos with the weird music blaring! Thumbs Up
I like that your photos are all about the fish!

Thank you Dan. I enjoy trying to think of new ways to take pictures of these fish we catch. It's fun to see how they come out. Enjoyed having lunch together. That hit the spot after fishing! Looking forward to the next time we can try and hook those feesh! Thumbs Up
