As always, writing the recap thread for a GRXH is sweet sorrow, sweet that we had such a great hunt, sorrowful that it's over.
GRXH 2020 wasn't a banner year by any measure, one hog, about 20 fish, plenty of greens; but we always max out the funometer!
We didn't go hungry, but it wasn't exactly full bellies either.
Like most years, there was boat carnage, I blew my lower unit (again), another lost their 20 hp motor completely off their transom and Paintman had a bout with wood lodged in the jet impeller.
We missed some of our regulars this year due to other obligations, but we made out pretty well without.
The high point for me was having our very own Michael Middleton share a campfire again, it's been too long and catching up was not only great fun, but made for some pretty good campfire stories.
I'll let others tell their stories and post their pictures, most of these have already been posted to Facebook and Michael was shooting video; so hopefully we can see it from their perspective.
My GRXH 2020 top ten list:
10) Hammocks rule, tents drool.
9) Thank God for tow lines and friends with working boats.
8) Cold and rain doesn't damper Granger Rangers.
7) But we are much happier when it is sunny!
6) Moonshine makes everything better.
5) After 20 years, I think I finally have the boat fuel figured out.
4) Pace yourself, you don't want to peak too early.
3) Don't bring a live chicken to the hunt.
2) You can make a fire with a cotton ball and wood ash.
1) I love my people!
