    Super job by Lily and big congrats. I myself know the blessings of having a tough girl for a wife who loves to fish. I have only one question ... she had to call and tell you she was on the way home with money? You were not even tough enough to go to the weigh-in?

    Great job, Ben. I'm jealous as heck. Love catching crappie this time of year but just not willing to put in the work it takes to find them in these parts. You, on the other hand, did the work and are reaping the benefits.

    Foul weather + highland reservoirs = good bite (most of the time). Now there's some math with some actual practical worth.

    Pretty soft compression, I presume?

    Chris, it's at Danna's.

    Thanks for the great report and the tip on the gloves, Brett. As you well know, 15 pounds will do you a lot of good in most TR derbies ... but those old nasty days in prespawn conditions just lend themselves to really big sacks. Still, a check is a check and helps offset expenses. Congrats on a good day.

    Pardon if this has been explained before, but what's a Ned?

    It's also exactly the color of traditional white golf balls. Don't ya think, Vern?

    Great trip even if the derby did get pushed back. Congrats on those nice ones!

    Dang, you're an OLD goat, aren't ya? No one has said "avocado" in years! That old Mann's Stingray grub has caught millions of bass over the years.

    Can't be hatin' on the wind on these highland lakes. It's more than your friend.

    Not a specific line, but that scene were Maverick and Goose walk into Top Gun class the first morning and see that Kelly McGillis is the instructor after serenading her the night before at the club is a hoot and a half.

    Solid candidate to become an NYT best seller. I call editor's dibs.
  15. Champ188
    Sure you weren't at Sturgeon Bay?

    I think one 96 Champ may be all we can stand. Just sayin.

    Cop biscuits I love them, too, as my physique shows.
  18. Champ188
    Beautiful fish. Congrats!

    As you likely know, those fish are relating to bait, Ben. Bass of all colors -- but especially spots -- will suspend where schools of bait are present. You are doing yourself a mountain-sized favor by learning to count your lure down and keep it in the strike zone.

    Good call on the postponement. I like April 22, especially with dtrs5kprs able to attend.
  21. Champ188
    Especially if they were Callaway Supersofts
  22. Champ188
    In that case, I withdraw my previous statement.

    Temps are supposed to be steady in the upper 30s. It will have to drop to at least 30 before the roads will be of any legitimate concern. We might get better weather another weekend, but turnout might be less than even this weekend given people's busy lives these days. It's also tournament season already, which likely will affect some members.

    That little creek arm (Aunts) has always tended to fill up with shad.
  25. Champ188
    Donna and I are in (with 5 pounds of tater salad) as long as enough others show up. And if we're driving up there, we are dang sure fishing.
