A near-death experience…

I just found this pic, buried in the vast catacombs of my computer…it’s a shot of a set of Russian River rapids I named “Pile Driver” after Big Fred tried to kill us there a few years back in a two-man pontoon boat. Somehow, I managed grab the camera — and avoid soiling my waders (sans wading belt) — at the same time. Of course, nobody aboard was wearing a lifejacket…

Speaking of Big Fred Contaoi, he’ll participating in a little more sane of a venture next week when he fishes in his final FLW bass tourney of the season, the National Guard Western, on Clear Lake. Stay tuned for more on that…
