I am blown away with what happened on the weekend..totally took my breath away.

The rod building weekend was held at our place..Scott (finga) arrived and gave my wife one of his works from his router..it was from a pic of the both of us taken at Aigutso's wedding a few years back..carved into the timber and lacquered..incredible stuff Scott..thanks mate.

Next..On Saturday, Ian (sid fishes) was working away merrily over at the side..doing some epoxy or something on the rod. I was not paying much attention as I was watching the beginners go throught their paces fitting reel seats and grips etc. Ian has had a few years experience so he just does his own thing. At the end of the day , Ian hands me the rod and says: "Here, this is yours". I was speechless..no idea why but the rod is incredible. As I am Rabbitohs member and obvuius supporter Ian had done the rod in the cherished red and green with the rabbitohs logo on it also.

So after this I am joking with my wife that I then needed a new reel to go on it...then..Graham (graves41) hands me a reel saying he does not use it anymore so take it and enjoy it.

All I can say guys, is a very heartfelt thank you..no idea why it was done but thank you very much.

It is incredible the quality of people on this site and the firendships made by getting involved in things like meet and greets etc.

cheers,
Greg

Its called Karma. You have done many things for other people (though your gruff exterior tends to cloud that could happen), and this is the way people pay back your kindness. Its not about money or whose got the best toys....its all about the thought and respect you have from the Ausfish community.

Now im bluddy jealous cos I dont have a cardinal and myrtle wrapped rod!!!

Thats one of the reasons why I enjoy AF so much. Don't know what it is with you Qlder's up there. It seems that right combination of the NT's laid back and the souths busyness, and that something else.

If I ever did barrack for a league team it would have to be the rabbitohs with a name like that.

It's all just reflection and recognition for what Sue and yourself do for many others.

Good stuff !!!...I thought to myself when you offered your house for the rod biulding weekend , that it was very generous of you and your wife. And then to ask how much food will be needed .
Hope we see a picture soon of the fish that was conquered by the mighty " Rabitohs Rod "
