Holy cow NG, one hour of fishing and five hours of paper work! 

[Tami]

Well i think its important..  You can jot down as you go...

This way i can give great reports here too

And also in 10 years  can look back and have detailed info..

It takes 5 mins to fill out...

easy as sin

Recalling and retelling the fishing trips ten years later is just the reason not to keep a log.  How are the fish going to "grow" in size and number if you have it logged in someplace.

true lol
but my kids will have fun after i am gone and they are older looking back, seeing 2008.. when its 2060
