You guys have been trying to take out team Carl. Wrecked both of us. We both had surgery on Friday. I took 3 bullets and Weston cant walk. But...... when we heal up, its back to giving out ass whippings. We'll see you ladies on the water soon!!!!

Carl so now you've been shot?

Glenn: My name is Glenn Christie. E-mail me a flyer and I will post it on this end of the lake. I live near Satterwhite Point and Nutbush. Also what do you need for the drinks and where do I bring them? I do not know any one of you guys personally but if we love God and and try to do his will we need to help each other. I would be glad to work at the event, but unfortunately I am in Augusta,Ga that Sat at a family event. Smiles. G

Yes Friday on the way to the beach. First one was bird shot , which I removed 2 of those. Now a big bruise is coming up in the same area I removed the others. I can feel 2 more I think. But I also took a 45 through the belt. That hole gave me about 80-90 stitches inside and about 12 outside. Got real lucky this time. But I popped a few stitches again this evening. The first time that happened I replaced the stitches myself. Wasnt going through that again so I cut the rest of the visible ones out.

Huh, is this guy for real, he sounds like Rambo??

sounds like carl and buggsman is the same person,haha just kidding carl

I would love to get my hands on that guy. I'll see you guys at the benefit tournament. Too sore to fish but I'll be helping. I guess I'll have to show you girls my battle wounds.

My apologies to you Carl. I mean no disrespect in my statement. It would take a tough individual to handle events such as that. I wish the both of you well and hope you are back on the water soon. I do not judge ones character for I believe there is only one true judge,(JC).

No apology needed here. Rambo... I wish. I put a few stitches back in the next day and that was rough. But it was either that or I would have been admitted back in the hospital for a few days. Had an agreement that I would stay in bed. Somehow I ended up fishing on the pier then went out on a 24 hour deep sea trip. Thats where I messed up. But I went to fish I was sure going to give it a try. I think even Mike Rutledge could even whip me know!

I own bestfishingstoreonthenet.com so I will donate A BRAND NEW in the box South Bend 870 spinning reel also.

I would like to know how in the heck you were shot. -- were you robbed, mugged or did you just **** off the wrong person at a gas station?

Stump jumper;Lew Compton,Mike Rutledge and myself donated a 6500 trophy series combo.I dropped it off at BIBT for you pick-up this week.See ya'll guys this weekend at the SHOWDOWN.

Glad you are doing ok Carl.Been through bout the same as you are going through now.I took two 44's in the back and got sliced across the front at the same time with some of my guts hanging out about 15 years ago.What was a knuckle bustin fight turned into a slaughter.Oh do i know how painful it is.Bounce back and keep getting up.

thanks a lot guys everything is comming togeather i also donated a 6000 combo.

I have seen the stuff alot of nice stuff and I do mean nice to be raffled off. This family is VERY greatful to each and everyone who has showed such caring towards them in this very hard time. There is no dout in my mine that this benifit will be a great success for them as well Hats off to the Kerr Lake catfish asso.for there time and effort to make every $$$$$$ dollar they can for this family.

While taking a little drive through the country, Carl and Iris Weston experienced a near fatal automobile accident involving a semi-retired lady running a stop sign and plowing into the driver's side door panel. What started out as a Saturday stroll through the country side, ended up changing their lives forever!

Red Oak, VA - At the scene of the accident, there was little hope that anyone could possibly survive such an impact at 60 MPH. All three were transported to a nearby hospital and eventually released, except for Carl. Three weeks of painful surgery later, Carl slowly rebounded enough to come home to his lovely wife Iris for a speedy recovery.

A brotherhood of catfishermen, and people from far away decided to come together with donations for a benefit catfish tournament at Kerr/Buggs Island Lake on May 30th. The prizes, money, and time everyone contributed into putting on the event to raise money for a family in need were felt through hundreds of hearts. People who don't know Carl or his wife Iris, got together with family and friends for a very worthy cause. All proceeds were given to Carl and Iris.

The joint efforts of Kerr Lake Catfish Association and The Catfish Showdown raised a considerable amount of money. The food was excellent, weather turned out great, and everyone experienced something very special - the love and friendship of fellow catfishermen!
