First off, I want to thank all of the THFF fans and readers out there. Another year of THFF is right around the corner and I'm excited about the opportunities that may lie ahead. Without you guys, THFF wouldn't be in existence. The support means the world to me. I'm humbled when a fan approaches me at a show, shakes my hand, and thanks me. I should be the one thanking you guys. Again, I can't thank you all enough for the support and camaraderie over the past several years.

I want to wish you and yours the merriest of Christmases. Enjoy time with family and friends. I implore you to take a moment to reflect on our many blessings and ultimately why we celebrate CHRISTmas.



Oh yeah, if Santa's a bit late this year, he's likely on the Pere Marquette catching Steelhead (the video above recaps his trip last year). Pretty sure it's an annual thing for Old Saint Nick. We all know how good the chrome fishing is up in Michigan this time of the year...
