River Wolf with dandy middle Rogue Steelhead,beautiful fish RW

Here he is, the man himself, the Hambone, this guy is a fishing machine, I have never in my life ever observed so many new gadgets and things anyone could put in a boat and do it where all of it is functional.

Ahhh the pre launch, 7:00 a.m. just a tad chilly and the game plan is being talked over

Another great close friend John ( John H) Hardey as you can see loves to fire things up for the Middle Rogue gathering. Waht a great time, can't wait for next year.

I was blessed to have been asked to fish withnot only two Pro Staffers but two of my best friends Mike Hambone Hamelton (left) and Duayne Mc Kinney (River Wolf), I don't think I have laughed that hard in a long while. Great day on the water guys, Thank you for the ride and the experience of a life time.

The only problem with a limited seat boat is not being able to fish with all my friends but the day on the water together was incredible. Here they are in that beautiful Red River Wolf drifter or STS Pro Staffers Barry Klamath Steel in the back , Guy Boog Ives front nearest and Catfish John, glad to see all of you at the middle Rogue.

Please Note how happy Hambone made his new friends $8,700.00 custom Drift boat $2,200.00 worth of custom rods in the boat $2,900.00 Electric start Honda kicker $400.00 Mustang Life vest Two of your best buddies who you thought would have your back caught taking pictures of you, one with his new I phone with Internet capability and the other one short as he may be making the situation better with a barrage of one liners that kept them smiling. Pricless ! All because of a $14.00 fire extinguisher you had, but left at home. We Love ya Mike :-)
