Prayers for you and the family C4F

Gator....I don't think he was polling us to see if we shopped there..... Thanks Travis for the info. C4F

I went and set my roster toady - man I really dont like how they had the A-B-C line ups.... How do they expect me to think that I can be a contender? C4F

Quill where are the pictures?? I don't think there could have been a more perfect day - wide awake at 4 a.m. ready to get on the water....finally splashed at a little after 5...yep it was dark!! Cruised over to the park...there were a couple of boats launching...but near the water there was 'ole muddy waters sitting in the dark under his tent getting stuff ready. Quill showed up shortly after and so did a few others (BTW Cheese was a brave one in shorts!) After a bit of light banter (and no coffee.....) on the water we went. I had read all of the recent posts from Bill and Quill.....so I was loaded up and ready...caught just shy of 20 with my two biggest being a 2.1 and a 2.5 then it was a pounderville for every one after that. The bigger ones on the Rock Crawler....it had to be hitting stuff on the bottom....yep a reaction bite right off the main lake just in the cuts and coves - the little ones on the Ned....as Bill said there had to be trees on that side and to stay as they were stacked up when you found them. A little after 2:30 Loaded up and went to the weigh in - Quill and Muddy had most things ready to go! BTW thanks to all of the wives out there as it seemed they did most of the cooking and or buying of said potluck items.....with one exception...Phil was cooking Salmon....YUM!! Anyway back to the actual weigh in....there were say 15-20 of us when Phil broke out the Brecknell 81696500593 Hand Held Digital Balance Scale to many OOO's and Awe's from the group - this has now become the official scale of the OA Tourney. The anglers started coming over to the spot where Phil was standing...you could see the anticipation in their step and hope in their eyes as each dipped into their respective bags to haul out their own swamp donkey's knowing that they would be taking home the coveted wooden plaque....each fish was held high...kinda...to the joy of all standing around the official scale guy - BTW we came to the conclusion that we cannot eye ball the weight of a fish to save our souls! After we figured out how to actually hang the Bass on the scale each one's weight was called out...you could see the joy in the fisher persons eyes if theirs was the biggest so far and the feigned smile of the ones that were just kicked out of the lead. In the end the Kansas guy won the big bass at 4.15....congrats's! Then we ate excessively and went home The end C4F

At first I thought that DBlades was chumming

Hmmmm - that sounds like a double dog dare if I ever heard one I may just take you up on that one! Your trout stuff to my bass stuff Sounds like a great one cast break out video C4F

It was an awesome time and the weather was great C4F

Well done Quill! Doing a little prefishing before the off limits goes into effect! C4F

Heck only 20% chance of rain according to weather.com !! And 62 degrees for a high.....that is a full layer of clothing that I wont have to wear! Be there in about 26 hours! C4F

T you make it sound so simple! C4F

Thought I would get the boat on the water today to get a little practice in....still a touch hard!!! C4F

OK - Quill what is the total count right now? I want to make sure that I bring the right ratio of brats to burgers..... C4F

That was just mean.... For some reason I see you running out to your boat - grabbing these, laying the paper towel down just right and taking the picture...giggling all the while C4F
