Who the H$LL is this guy??

What's up Bass fishing friends? Who still lurks on the boards or posts for that matter?

I know, I know I haven't been around in a while...long while! Most of you thought I'd forgot about you all, huh?

I didn't forget about you all...life, military, deployments got the best of me. However, this last deployment was cut short and Uncle Sam told me to go home early and prepare to retire.

I won't go in to details, long story; however, I am being forced [more or less] to retire after 17 years of service. Still get my pension [at a reduced rate] and maintain my benefits.

None the less after I sold all my reels in Oct, with full intentions of upgrading while I was deployed, I'm back and no reels . I do have a couple on the way though; I picked up a Lew's TP1SH and TP1H, brand new and for a killer price. I'm excited to get them on the water.

I hope everyone is good!
