I will pour some if you take me fishing in my old boat.
You got a deal there !!!!
I plan on being there if Jerry still has a room available for Fri and Sat night.
I will be there Thursday evening but have to leave Saturday by noon. Looking forward to it.
Nope
Yeah, the thread kinda went off the rails about post #9

Duh!!!!!!!WTF where we talking about?
Think I'll keep the Premier now *******!
I was just thinking of past get-togethers, and wasn't the last one at Ivie that Ron McKnight (Rangerman) came by to visit, right before we lost him? He was a great guy, and a friend to anyone he met.
I remember the first Rally I went to was at Ivie (about this time of year, 2010 maybe?). I was new to the group, my first time on Ivie, and Ron volunteered to show me around the lake one afternoon while I was pre-fishing. Well, we hit a few spots and were having a good ole time, and Ron asked me if I had any Green Pumpkin Flukes. I told him no and that I didn't think I had anything in Green Pumpkin, but I had some Watermelon Red, Blue, Magic, etc! You have to understand that I had just joined BBC and met Ron, and probably had 100 lbs. of soft plastics in the boat at the time, and really didn't see the need for more - Green is Green, right? Ron proceeded to tell me that "If you didn't' have Green Pumpkin in the boat, you don't have SH*T!!" If I remember correctly those were his exact words! I believe he would be proud! I now carry a boat-load of Green Pumpkin baits, all shapes, sizes, flakes, etc., and if you look, I'll have some rigged up before I leave the ramp!
I believe that was in the spring of 2011 that he came by. He passed Oct 1, later that year. I was driving back to Abilene from being in OKC a few days and had planned on running up to see him the next morning when Linda called. Ron's color for Ivie was Watermelon Red. I had a standing order that if I ran across any watermelon red 9" V&M lizards, to bring back 4-5 packs for him & Linda. Sure miss him! We spent a lot of time on the water together and doing our 12oz curls ...
His handle was "Rangerguy" sorry for the error. The above story was from the 2010 Rally at Ivie, and I'm sure you are correct about the 2011 Rally. Sure doesn't seem like that long ago, though! The older we get the faster the years pass!
Big Ron was a damn good man.
