Actually I was thinking it would be very diverse and was hoping to prove how diverse of a group we are, but its even more diverse than I thought it would be. I think its cool that there is such a mix of fishermen here.

The great thing about a good sized river is that you never know what will hit next.

Amen. This is why I love fishing big rivers like the Minnesota, because you can toss out a crawler and catch anything from a Shovelnose Sturgeon to a 60 lb Flathead Catfish.
