Great Job, Steadman!!Congratulations!! I've followed your thread from the start and it has been a really great read. Thanks so much for sharing. Doing all the work: scouting, hauling bait, setting up, dealing with the crap, and sticking with the trail, this has to be a tremendous feeling and accomplishment.
