I don't know if I did such a good job at assembling and you wouldn't want to trust my rivet job! (just kiddin' bro!).  And another thing... please don't ask me to come down to go zip lining across or swim in any of your murky GA rivers.  Too many nasties lurking in there! I value my limbs!   But if you want to meet me on top of Springer or Blood Mtn... I'll be there!

Hunting some coyotes sounds fun.. They ate our goats (our 'lawnmowers'), so some payback would be nice!

Speaking of the DC9, I haven't flown on one(yet). Currently at AirTran we use Boeing 737's and 717's, but as we migrate everything into Southwest's system we'll be getting rid of the 717's (Southwest wants an all 737 fleet). Ironically, we'll be selling the 717's to our biggest rival, Delta.

Gina:
That is huge!  That's two of me.  I bet that was a major thrill.  Great picture, BTW.  Wow, 200 lbs. wiggling around like that.  That must have taken a tremendous amount of strength to reel that sucker in!  Good on you!

Craig, were you on the Columbia River?  Sturgeon sure have weird looking mouths. :D

doug:
Craig -  Hmmmm..... as a wildlife guy I can smell something veeerly fishie about your "story"!

Let's see..... according to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife:

The heaviest warm water fish was a striped bass at 68 lbs. from The Umpqua River in 1973.
The heaviest cold water fish was a chinook salmon at 83lbs. from the same river in 1910.

And it is unlawful to remove an oversize sturgeon (54 inches) from the water.  So if that is a 71/2 foot, 200 pound sturgeon.... well, you had better have all the evidence disposed of by now!!  (unless of course it was a catch and release.  ::)  )

"Don't tell fish stories where the people know you, but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish".  Mark Twain

Craig:
Willamette River, oversize sturgeon and it is catch and release.  Size is estimated by length and girth of the fish. Why was that
 fishie? Nobody said I kept it or ate it. ???
