Catch some fish!

This is for all you folks living in Missouri near Fort Leonard Wood, during this Labor Day weekend. I am absolutely sure that many of you will be out on local rivers, streams and lakes searching for that illusive trophy bigmouth, smallmouth, or trout.

I remember the great times I once had floating down the Gasconade or Piney Rivers flipping my lures into dark places, knowing for sure my prize was there waiting for me. More times than not, however, I came up empty. Still, those were really fun times—especially when they took place on holiday weekends such as Labor Day, when we often got Friday off as well as Monday...thanks to a great commanding general at the time. I'm sure it's no different today.

Be safe, have fun, and good luck with your fishing!
