Thanks to everyone that gave me advice. I do appreciate it.

Congrats.

 

[GottaBeJeep]

That's awesome, congratulations. How exactly did you ask? Anything off the wall, like putting the ring on a hook in that salmon's mouth and saying "you would not believe what I caught this one on", or was it more of a kneel down in the river and propose type of thing?

HAHA!!!! I was wondering if you were gonna ever mention that. :wave:


With regard to the actual proposal...
I wanted to land a nice trout and then ask her but we weren't there all that long. So I just started looking for salmon. After landing several, I finally took a swig of Knob Creek and told her I wanted a pic of the next one after it was in the net. When she was walking over I slipped the ring into the net. I grabbed the fish and then asked her to take the net. I was kneeling when she took the pic. Then I revived the fish and asked her to look in the net for a fly that I was missing. I thought she had become aware that I was gonna ask her but she was completely surprised and speechless. It went pretty smoothly. After she was done crying, we watched the sun set over the divide. I didn't want to fish anymore after I asked b/c I was trying to be all romantic and stuff. :smootch: It was killing me though b/c there was some serious ackshawn goin on in the water. She did tell me she wanted me to catch one more before we headed home. I got sprung.

Out of 8 years of "worth it", I've accumulated maybe 10hrs of OMFG! Damn good ratio...

You met her when we ran Chinamans. Oh wait....maybe that was Roxanne....from the club. :shhh:

 

[riverfever]

Here's a few pics of the big night. Every time I hooked a fish she would pop up and follow me to take pics. I finally told her to sit down and I'd let her know when I had a fish that I wanted a pic of. I couldn't pull ring box out of my vest and put it in the net with her following me around.

What's that you say?

Yeah I know....I spoke with him today. I'm sorry. I am a bastard. Funny though...I don't recall my voice mail receiving any calls. :callme:

I tried calling you tonight at about 8 AND I left a VM. If I don't hear from you I'll try again tomorrow. I hear you've been busy and are about to get busier.








Heather knows EXACTLY what she's getting. Loads of wholesome goodness and a lot of sessay. :smootch:
