    Hi All,

    Scott here, just retired from the USAF to Mid-Coast Maine and picked up my obligatory retirement fishing/hunting truck. A 2017 SR5 in quicksand with 16 miles on it;12 of which I put on during the test drive...

    Cheers!

    I'm primarily a trout with a fly guy, but have been known to go after the occasional bass.
