The Group Formerly Known as B came in like a lion and went out like a larger lion, setting all kind of group records for wine and other alcohol consumption, donations to the Montana Matters campaign and pace-setting additions to our Twenty Inch Club. Not to be overwhelmed by the antics of Lori "The Fawn" Ware and "Shanna Banana Rodgers, the final night of Group B saw four (count 'em!) additions to the Club, including one of the most suspect order, demonstrating that, indeed, size matters, as Tom Thornhill (shown above "signing in") prized 20" brown was upstaged by (a) Dave Studeman's above shown 20 1/4" brown; by (b) Tim Rodgers Yellow Shirt winning above shown 20 1/2" brown and ; by (c) Mike Stakias photographed entry of a one-of-a-kind 60" "Bullshit Fish", awarding the latter an honorary Yellow Hat--yes, gang, talk about b.s.!!
Every Group B third day of fishing boat boasted both more and larger fish than the prior two days, with catches in the 17", 18", and 19" category with the general consensus among both fisherfolk and guide alike that the rivers are still "running large" with runoff water and that they have yet to really "open up" and fulfill nature's bounty to our banded warriors. That bodes well for Group C, as well as for the fact that I can now officially announce that there WILL be sufficient supplies of Elizabeth Spencer wines and other adult beverages as, try though they did, the larder remains laden with ample supplies of each (although Kocktail Kathy WAS seen doing a dynamite run in Missoula earlier this day to restock some Group A and B earlier preferred darker single malt beverages).
Tomorrow night, the first night of Group C, will also mark the unveiling of this year's Extravaganza Film Camp product--a music video of Shane Clouse's marvelous masterpiece "Montana Matters"--the first music video in the world that has been produced in and that wall be released in Charles Morrow 3D sound, courtesy of son Tyler who, on Group C's Monday departure day, leaves for New York City (the home of the now fabled Bullshit Fish portrayer, "King Whitey: Mike "Pinot Noir" Stakias [do you realize how many key strokes that name takes?!?).
Best to all from the quiet scene of it all,
Rock Creek Ron
