That's a compliment in "Missouri talk". Now don't get the big head, because you still tend to exhibit traits known as around here as "a smart ass".
BTW, I've caught some nice fish out of farm ponds, but the thoughts of crawling through a chigger invested weed patch to get to them no longer holds much appeal for me.
Fishing ain't about catching fish, as far as I'm concerned. It's just something to keep you occupied while you're enjoying life. And getting eat alive by chiggers ain't my idea of enjoying life.

Thanks, Chas. That's some high praise from our resident Will Rogers. As for being a smart ass, I suppose that's how I roll when talking with guys I consider friends.
For the most part, farm ponds around here aren't all that grown in. OTOH, I live in the epicenter of Lyme Disease and have had it twice and any venture into the weedy outdoors brings with it the chance of catching this shitty ailment. In fact, I'm taking Doxycycline right now for my latest bout with this disease. I think I caught it in time (I still had the dreaded bullseye rash when I started antibiotics). Hopefully, I nipped it in the bud.
