1415.0. "The Official Night Fishing Tourney Note" by DEMING::TADRY () Tue May 22 1990 09:28

    While we're on a roll and since Ranger Ron is itchin' for another
    night at McQuals, lets have this note as the Official Night Fishing
    Tourney Note. I think we can safely say that Quinsig is the Lake of
    choice. Now for the date. I'd like to propose that Saturday Night 
    July 21st be the date. The Weekend before and after are N/G for me.
    I realize that its a ways off but the sooner we can etch the date
    in stone, the better. What say you.
    
    Ray, Who will run this one.
    
    P.S. Ron, Get the Wizzer some electric socks, I've got the battery for
         them ;~]

    or the weekend before.

1415.2Just not Saturday 7/21...SENIOR::WHITESTue May 22 1990 12:4711
    That Saturday would also be extremely tough for anybody in 
    Wayside Bassmasters - we have to be out on the Ct. River the 
    next morning at 07:00. I had a blast at last year's "Mighty Quin" 
    event, and I'd love to do it again this year - just not on 
    the night of 7/21. Friday night 7/13, 7/20, or 7/27 or Saturday
    night 7/14 would be the best.
     
    Dr. Dick, Mike_L, etc - how do guys you feel about it?

1415.7Not Friday July 20thSOFBA2::SULLIVANTue May 22 1990 14:5111
    
      Hi Folks,
    
      We (Wachusett Bassmasters) have a club tournament scheduled on
    Lake Quinsig Friday July, 20 1990. So I would strongly advise not
    using that date. 
    
       Any other date I'm up for!!

1415.9Quinsig at night, huh?MILKWY::MLOEWEBass fishermen have stiffer rodsTue May 22 1990 18:166
Right Jack, with Barton's on the 22nd, I prefer not to fish the Saturday or
Friday night before.  I try to fish only one tournament per weekend.

How does the following weekend sound; the 27th or the 28th?

1415.10Is it duck season?HPSTEK::RHUFFWed May 23 1990 09:0628
    Hey Gitzit,
    
    	I'd love to be your netman again but I can't make it on the 6th
    thru the 15th of July as I will be in Labrador catching some serious
    Brown Trout and such.  What a nice Dad I have to take me up to Labrador
    for a pre-wedding gift and probably my last trip while I'm single.
    	Any other dates are fine with me.  As long as there are some ducks
    to try and catch.  Ya that's right ducks!  I got ahold of one last Sat.
    and boy what a lunker that would have made.
    	Gitzit and I were on the North shore I think.  The shore where all
    the wind was blowing towards.  Anyways, here we are fishing when I cast
    up on the shoreline with a white Tornado spinnerbait.  As the lure hits
    the water and the line is settling off goes this pair of ducks.  A male
    and female.  Well, out of nowhere, the male duck happens to catch my
    line as it flys away!  As it flys away, my line keeps going until the
    lure pops out of the water and finds its way to the poor ducks bottom.
    Here I am yelling, "Hey Keith, look out as the line goes tight and the
    duck comes crashing down in the water.  Get the net I thought as I was
    wondering how the heck am I going to get my spinnerbait off of this
    pissed off duck!  Well,  somehow the line was cut and away the duck
    went.  We didn't see any lure attached to him as he flew away.  But
    after that I knew that this tourney had gone down the drain!  My
    favorite Tornado!  With luck like that, who knows what will happen at
    Quinsig!
    	Congratulations to the Les team.  I had fun and met a lot of new
    people.  See you all at many more tournies.

1415.11Night TourneySEMIU5::MATTSONWed May 23 1990 09:3610
Ray,
	Sounds like the old conflict of dates no matter what you pick.  It makes
no difference to me.  The only thing I'd be against is having it the same night 
that another club is also out on the water (like sully mentioned).  Even though 
Quinsig is big enough we shouldn't jump in on another event, doesn't make for 
good neighbors.
	Pick the time, your the coordinator, if I can make it I'll be there and 
give you a hand if needed.  If you pick a date I can't make, no big deal I won't
lose any sleep.

1415.14No, we have to get up real early to milk the cowsRANGER::MACINTYRETerminal AnglerWed May 23 1990 13:3916
    I think the main reason no NHerites made it down last weekend was
    because so many of us had a NHB tournament on Winnisquam on Saturday.
    
    I'd try and make it down for a Friday night tournament.  We have 
    NHB tournaments scheduled for 7/14 and 8/1, so 7/20,27 would be good 
    for us.
    
    I, too, try and schedule only one torunament per weekend, and preferably
    not for every weekend of the month - but I think I could get away with 
    sneaking in a Friday night tourny.
    
    Where is Quinsig anyway?  Any campgrounds on the lake?  It'd be nice
    to be able to crash right after the tourny, rather than driving back 
    to NH.  
    
    donmac - who would be looking for a partner who knows tha lake, tim?

re: Bassmaster 

	No problem, I've been insulted by better people than you, and throw out 
of better places than this.  I'll be there, rods ready, transducers draging, 
and all 30 ponies screamin.
	Oh by the way did I tell you I think my live well is to big, this must
be causing a gross imbalance between the front to back weight.  This directly
relates to a much higher drag coefficient on both the water and in the air, thus 
causing at least a 20 mph reduction in speed.  But the live well serves a much
greater purpose on a SMALL BOAT, which we all know from your note that Small 
Boats are only good for one thing HOLDING THE BEER.
	Hey, you know come to think of it, I'll bet my radio antenna is too wide.

1415.20ABACUS::TOMASJoeThu May 24 1990 09:3715
hey, Les...night tournies are my FAVORITE kind of events.  That's usually 
when I pick up my 7 lb PLUS fish!  I just might be inclined to fish this one 
if it's on a Friday night.  I'd prefer to fish it with someone else who 
knows the "Mighty Quin".  Another possible problem during July is that i 
will probably have to do DECworld duty.  But I should be able to schedule 
around that.

BTW...why should I bring my $$$ when I'd be coming home with yours!!??!

BTW...any of you guys thinking of joining us NHerites in our June 16 tourney 
on the Merrimack??

     GARY,
    
     Glad to see you kept your note to 1 page of length. Livewell too
    big? How big does it have to be to hold 1 fish?. Or is it so big
    because it holds not 1 but 2 cases of beer?
     Anyhow, glad to see your sense of humour is still in tact.
    
     See you at the Quin and the 1st cold-one is on me.

1415.26Pike puts boat to a Crawl, Story at 5PACKER::BACZKOPronounced BASS-Co.Tue May 29 1990 12:5317
    Well I went out last night with Satelite Gary for some nice night
    fishing on the mighty Quin.  It was a little slow but we did get a 
    few on Gitzits (3 keepers) and a bunch of rock bass.  Also I hooked
    in to a 6 lb pike, what a fight, I never caught one that big on a rod &
    reel.  After Gary netted the Pike it promptly bit a big hole in his net
    and flopped around on the floor.  The added pike slime on his boat 
    caused a speed reduction of .000000028384656435235278567038567  M.P.H.  
    Seemed like it took forever to get back to the ramp. 8>)
    
    Anyways the water level seemed a bit down for all the rain we had
    and the fish were not all that aggressive.  But since Gary did put the
    first keeper in the boat I will buy him coffee.   Some of the weeds in
    the normal weedbeds are near the surface already.  I will be going out
    there often over the next month or so I will keep the info coming in on 
    this note.

1415.27I have taken care of it LESSOFBA1::SULLIVANWed May 30 1990 14:4919
    
    
     I will attest,
    
     MY FISH have not yet arrived at my favorite holes in the lake yet. It
    has been a bit slow, but I left a note for them to return. The note
    said,
    
     ATTENTION:
    
     All fish that were here last year, please be in the same spot this
    year. I will be back on the 20th & 21st of July to take you for your
    yearly ride up the lake.
     NOTE: If you see anything resembling a satellite dish pertruding from
    another boat please put this note on thier hooks.

    We had fun at this outing last year, but this year's 
    tournament sort of got scheduled to be the Saturday night 
    before the Sunday morning Wayside club tournament on the 
    Ct. River at Chicopee, and I'm not entirely convinced that 
    we really want to do two tournaments back to back (with only 
    6 hrs apart including 2 on the road...).

of the leader board.  Hey are you sure that isn't a misprint from last year?  
Gitzit told me that our fish was 22" and 14 lbs.  Your scale must have been off.
I'm looking forward to this year.  Hopefully me and Johnie D will be culling by 
9 pm and watching Madonna,Cher,and Seduction, on MTV when I use my Satelite 
transducer as a Radar Dish.

    we'll be catching fish and filling the livwell with SLIMfast so they'll
    be hungry at 8:00 instead of 7:00

    hitting on everything everywhere.  Gary and I put 5 in the boat, but
    only 3 keepers.  My Partner Paul was out there witha buddy they caught

1415.87What's a killer????????DEMING::MATTSONThu Jul 12 1990 09:2821
    Hey Les,
    
    	I never concidered that contraption with the Mickey Mouse Bobber
    with a Sail on it the "killer lure", but it goes to show that I never
    pay attention to what your doing anyhow.  Hell you'd tell me if I'd
    listen to you, that every lure in your box is a killer.
    
    	On a serious note though, Les is right, the fish seem to be really
    active at night on Quinsig this year.  Just about every good looking
    spot you try seems to yield a fish or two with the old standards always 
    producing.  Heck I don't even have to turn on my satelite dish to find
    them anymore.
    
    	  If the Fishing holds up like this till tourney time
    everyone should catch something and have fun, the top finishers will
    most likely have to bring in as Ray Scott says "A fine Limit of Bass".
    I'll really go out on a limb here and say that Gitzit might even weigh
    in more than one fish for once.

Les,
	What are you the Legend of the Lakes (I thought he was from N.H.)?
We have to check in with you before we go out?  Is it insecurity?  You afraid 
somebody might find fish in an area you don't know about?  Sounds to me like 
Bassco INC. is getting nervous.  Don't worry I know what you look like and Hell 
I even know what you think like.  Boy is that a scary thought.

	If I run in to you I'll give you another chance at big Fish.  My 
partner informed me today that he doesn't even remember what a freshwater fish
or pole looks like.  Could be intresting, maybe going after all those Salt Water
Fish will give Johnie D an edge in hooking into some Lunker BASS.  You see me 
and Johnie D. were brought up on a real LAKE (CANDLEWOOD).  We were catching 
Bass back when you thought you were Popeye out on the same Lake with your 
Sunfish sail boat.

    Oh, It's first come first serve...so if you want to fish with the
    Legend after the 20th, be sure to put your request in early.

    Yo Ba$$MA$TER,
        I dont agree with your 12 pound prediction.  That would only mean
    a 1lb - 2 oz average.  NO WAY  I predict 15 pounds or more to win 
    and 12 to place!!  Oh BTW BM  Thanks for the cool ones after those we 
    found 2 new places and caught 4 nice ones.  It seems to work out that
    way :>) This should be a GREAT tourny with the weather going up to the
    90's this week and the way the fish have been biting.  I hope everyone 
    shows up, I know all that do will catch a lot of fish except MM !!!  
    CANT WAIT!!!!  
    
    Hey legend
    
    SHUT UP!!  And get back in your own file.   
    Come Monday the 23 you will have 0 Lbs 0 ozs next to your name.
    
    
     
1415.99Don't mess with LesDEMING::MATTSONMon Jul 16 1990 13:5227
    Les,
    
    	But I'm the best short catcher you know.  I'll admit Saturday
    night was a little disappointing, more shorts than I care to think
    about( alot like fishing with Gitzit). 
    
        I'll go out on a limb here and conceed 1st place to you.  Hell you
    been on the water at night more than the bass.  You've somehow again
    managed to upgrade to a excellent partner (we both know Quinsig isn't
    Craigs strenght).  No doubt about the quality of the boat you'll be
    on(gee are you sure a 20ft bass boat has enough deck up front ?).  I
    can't think of a weakness, the deck is stacked in your odds. 
    
    	But remember when your on that top rung of the ladder and you slip
    and fall, it's along way down.  As far as breakfast, Gitzit's going to
    take care of that for you.  My hand isn't looking to good, my partner
    has had something come up and cancelled on me.  So I might be home
    Saturday night watching MTV but I rather doubt it. 
    
    	I'm going out to put some bass in the boat, with my last two
    stellar performances in DEC tournies, I'm hoping the odds will finally
    fall in my favor( 0 fish, motor fire first one, one fish at this one
    last year).  But you know what I'll be throwing, if their on I'll keep
    you and Paul honest, if not, I have to suffer listening to you and
    Tadry for another year.

    Hey MATT
       Boat has nothing to do with the chances of winning or catching.
    I only got a jon boat.  My partner, who I agreed to fish this thing
    with over the winter, had a 16' one just like yours, a few weeks ago
    he just decided to sign on the dotted line.  Remember once the sun 
    goes down it a 20 MPH on the lake, and last saturday night the cops
    were out past midnight.  
       Hey Gary how long did you stay out on Saturday. Have you got a 
    patner for this saturady, call Larry, or Russ, or Craig!!!
    
    You still dont got a chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     Don't need a 4 leave clover Ray when I have 'Lucky Lucia' in the 
    boat!. Plus he's a great net man (Boy Tim will be busy!!). I hope
    Gitzit and Madd Matt follow me cause they'll get rid of those pearch
    that Mr. Gitzit likes and the shorts that Madd Matt likes. And I
    will just keep on catching the keepers and yelling at Lucia to get the
    net!!! 
     With Gitzit and Mattson getting the minnows out of the way, the
    pickens will be easy !!!
     Ray, remember the plug goes in the middle hole! I hope that scale 
    that Le$ is bringing double's as a breathelizer cause that'll be the
    only way you'll get that scale moving-- 2.76 .... Okay now switch it
    back from alchohol to weight Le$ so I can weigh FISH!!.

    Well Leper of the Lakes I'm back from vacation and can now defend
    myself. I'll be bringing my pen with me on Friday so I can autograph
    your hat after I show you what Bass fishing is all about. ( you can't 
    catch them with your mouth or a rod) On vacation I was able to shop around
    and found a suitable frame for the ten dollar bill you will be
    presenting me with Friday night. And as for you Bad-Mouthing MR.Easter
    you will owe us both a debt of gratitude after the tournament as you 
    will listen breathlessly as we explain to you cast by cast how we won
    the tournament and the complicated techniques that we used. And if your
    real lucky we might even explain them in laymens terms that you and 
    your limited comprehension might understand.

       We were right!!  That was indeed Mr Surrette that we saw screaming
    down the lake in an aluminum mini monster!  And it was his Jeep that
    we saw parked at the ramp!  He must have caught a few out there LAST
    NIGHT in his prefish!  Why didn't we think of that?  Prefish the
    lake and if you do well THEN you sign up!!
       Just goes to show you, you can't get away with anything around here!
    And we even know where he spent all his time!!  That's OK Gus, you'll
    still beat the Kivs 7.5hp to your hot spots!
    
      See you there on Saturday!  How about a few more entries???  With

1415.115SEMIU5::MATTSONThu Jul 19 1990 09:3415
	Yes it's true, the mighty Bassco had to really beat it out of me.  I 
couldn't take it anymore when he threatened to take away my Creme worm, the one
with the hook harness, propellers and red BBs.  Damn Les you don't play fair. 

	Ray stop giving away my secret spots or else you have to pay me more 
than you already have to let me, let you, fish with me.  I was fishing my other 
secret spot last night when some guy in a blue boat with a 125 force engine 
started harrasing me.  He said "hey what are you doing in 150 ft of water 
fishing for Tuna"?  I said "look, first of all fix your damn light that ain't 
working" then I threw him a candle to use, then I said " it's an unconfirmed
fact that the big Bass at Quinsig, school with the Tuna there at night".  

	So if you want big bass at night fish for Tuna.  Gee do I have to teach
you guys everything?

1415.117You never know who it is in the dark!SOFBA2::SULLIVANThu Jul 19 1990 11:3723
    
     Yup,
    
     The ole Shamrock blue-out it's mast light last night. I'm putting
    around (in the dark) and stopped at what I thought was a fellow fisherman.
     My boat was in 50ft of water so I thougt it I was bugging a trout
    fisherman when I asked him if he had a screwdriver.
     Then this guy throughs me a greater media cable tool box full of tools
    that would defineatly mount satellite dishes... Could it be??
      YES It was Madd Matt. His transducer was so big he thought it read
    5 ft but it was actually 50ft! No wonder why the fishing was slow...
    
       Let me tell you folks, Gary CAN take a joke. In fact, He's a really
    nice guy. He had everthing I needed to relight my candle and continue
    fishing. Can you belive after all the $#it I gave him, he was still
    willing to help me out. Now, That's a guy

  Hey $ULLY  Not me guy,  I didn't pay anyone to follow you,  
  I want to catch leagal sized fish not the ones that are legal on the 
  on the Gitzit ruler.   Rumor has it that the Gitzit is offering autographed
  rulers at the ramp for any one who gives him a 14" fish has measured on his
  ruler.  8>)  

 Paul and I got our stradegy all planned out.We are going to fish only 2 spots 
for about 30 minutes then go join the team of TBDW and Ranger Ron at Macquales,
and start sippin'  

 
Seriously,
   
    I haven't been out this week but with this HOT weather I have heard that the 
bass have really turned on at night.   So it should be a great time.  Although
Gary said it has been slow on Monday Tuesday and Wendseday,  Boy gary your
taking this thing real seriously.  I heard $ully has been catching 2 to 3 dozen
a night for the past week,  Any truth to that?  

BTW  Gary How much did Ray pay you??  Story I heard is that you paid him and 
     you arent allowed to run the trolling moter for obvious reasons.  
     Hey Ray dont take his money but stick to the other part of your agreement.

to stay in the appropriate file not to offended any of the up and coming Hank 
Parker JRs.  Bassmaster wrote what a swell person I am, so now I can get 
fisherman or dad of the year. 

	And you refugess from the Roland Martin Fishing camp keep pestering me.
Well Mr Gitzit, Mr Ota only said one smart thing and that was his description 
of your name and how serious to take you.  Com' on Keith I've seen you in 
action get real!!!!!!!!!  I will have pockets on what ever I'm wearing and your
money will fit into them real well. I'll tell you what, I'll refund you your 
entry fee so you can sign back up and this time not drop out of BASS 101.

	And you Bassco your just jealous and spouting off (almost like a nutered
cat).  Your luck is about to run out.  90% of what you catch still couldn't 
match up to as you call it the only fish I've ever held.

	Me and Tadry, there's only one way to Descibe us BADDDDD TO THE BONE.  
We're the fishing dream team that even Vince McMan couldn't put together. We
may be ugly as Les descibes but we will put fish in the boat and they'll be

    Guys,
    	THANKS !!  I'll be a little more humble than my partner because we
    all know here today gone tomorrow.  I will admit that I expected to do
    well and felt that alot of teams would be bringing a limit to the
    scales.  My partner did call it and we did do it, as far as first place.
    I won't lie this feels good real good, what felt even better was you
    shaking my hand afterwards and saying great job.
    
    	I'm not going to get to long winded about how,what,where or why. 
    If for some reasons you want specifics drop me a mail message.  The
    bottom line is we started in an area that we had a hunch might produce,
    it was the entire shore line from the 290 bridge to the RT 9 bridge at 
    different spots.  I used the same lure all night which was a 4" Kalin 
    worm usally refered to as a Finess Bait.  Most all the fish weren't
    close to any structure other than weed beds.  Most came from 10-15' of
    water.
    
    	Both Ray and I were pretty amazed at how well this pattern worked,
    both of us have caught most of our fish well beyond the RT 9 bridge in
    the past.  We had 5 fish in the boat by 9, 7 by 10, and 9 by 11 and
    fished for # 10 the rest of night but never got another keeper in the
    boat. 
    
    	Again no magic lure or technique, just each of us throwing what we
    had the most confidence in and coming up with a strategy that for once 
    paid off.  Now if I can only learn how to get my damn boat on the
    trailer the first try I'll be doing good.  I had alot of fun and wish
    I could produce like this everytime out.  Saturday night was our night.
    Most likely it will be somebody elses the next time.
    
    						regards,
    							Madd Matt

             Everyone taking note that there seems to be a certain
             name that keeps turning up in the standings?? I'll give
             ewe a hint it begins with a K and always endsup with fish.
             I saw a worried look on Mad Matts face when Rick and The Keg
             came to the scales with fish.If we had caught one more we
             would have had your lunch.Note only 7 fish and only a half
             pound out of first.
    
             Where were all the big fish?? I was sure someone would
             land a hawg.I'll tell ewe Rick and I used a new bait made
             by Poptop lure company.Its called the Nunya.We used
             crankbaits,buzzbaits,worms,spinnerbaits,but nothing worked
            as well as the six inch NUNYA.I tell ya everytime I threw
            that Nunya out ewe could see wakes coming from all over the
            Lake.
    
             I guess that barrel of Dioxin I dumped in Les' and Daves
             spots did the trick.Oh and Les I'm still waiting for the 
             fifty ewe owe me for buzzing The Shamrock all night last 
             Wednesday.
    
    
    
                            Good time and I didn't fall out of the boat!

    	Keg,, I had so much luck on the 4" brown NUNYA out my way. It
    has been working great. In the past 3 weeks I have caught quite a

    Hey Bob,  A guy from your club showed up and said you sent him to
    handle the weigh in.  He supplied the scales, Thanks!!
    
    All of our spots were dry as a bone,  but we did pick 3 out of them.
    couldnt believe the difference in the lake after two solid weeks of
    great fishing.  COULD IT OF BEEN THE RAIN?????

    Yo Keg,
    
    		You saw the sweat rolling down huh.  Yes you had me
    worried, great job.  I'm going to have to talk to Jimmy the Greek about
    you for future Tourneys.  I have no idea of what the heck a Nunya is????  
    Sounds like something a Ninja would throw at somebody.  Sounds like
    it's real effective on the Fish.  Did you get most of your fish early
    like we did?

1415.148Its got to be brownJUPITR::NEALTue Jul 24 1990 10:009
    Yo KEG, 
    	Can you believe it? He doesn't even know what a NUNYA is? I haven't
    used anything but a NUNYA for the last month. I'm telling you brown is the 
    color. Up in VT last week I had 5 fish in an hour at 13.5 pounds total.
    No need to say more. The best part was on the second cast, 4 pound fish.
    The killer was the guy I was fishing with got the big goose egg. Needless 
    to say he didn't have a Brown Nunya on.

             M.M.
    
               The Nunya is a lure I developed when Rich and I went
             to Lake Ontario.We caught well-over 200 smallies on this
             bait and boats were coming out of nowhere to see what the
             heck bait we were using (Rich remember the geek with the
             glasses).Anyway if anyone would like more info on this 
             new exciting bait write to Rich or myself and we will gladly
             give you the necessary info and the address of Poptop Lure
             Company.
    
           Re:Fish Early...
    
             Rick and I were catching fish all night! Too many shorts
             to count even with my shoes off!! Rick had an oar out batting
             fish back into the water cause they were jumping in the boat and 
             stealing all my 6 inch Nunyas! What an expensive night!

1415.150The secret is out!JUPITR::NEALTue Jul 24 1990 11:1813
    Re Keg, 
    		You left off the most important part of the Lake Ontario
    trip! We won first place in a three day tourney. We were culling fish
    after the first hour every day. 

    	If you are interested in this lure send a message to JUPITR::NEAL
    or WRKSYS::ALLINSON. These bad boys are only available to Catch and
    release fishermen. Other wise the lakes would be decimated. I
    understand the State of NY is already trying to ban the NUNYA after our
    tournament success. Hell they banned the KEG and I, why not our favorite
    lure? Great things go together.

    	Rich
1415.151What a NUNYA is11SRUS::LUCIAAnxiously awaiting the choppers...Tue Jul 24 1990 12:021
A Nunya is "Nunya business".  The Ba$$ma$ter and I saw them electro-fishing.
1415.152Thanks for the helpJUPITR::NEALTue Jul 24 1990 13:149
    Hey 11SRUS::LUCIA
     		"Nunya Business" I like that! Hey KEG we can use that in
    our marketing plan. To all you that have sent me mail, please be
    patient. The demand is overwhelming. The one gentleman I haven't heard
    from is the LEGEND. Well maybe he did reply and I didn't get to it yet.
    If any lure is going to get him out that slump its the NUNYA (Trademark) 
    of Poptop lures.

1415.153Sorry this is late (I know, who cares?)HPSTEK::BCRONINTue Jul 24 1990 14:2324
    
       First I want to congratulate everyone who caught ANY fish Saturday
    night, especially 1st and 2nd place!!  Tough night to put that many in
    the boat!!  Good Fishing!!
       It seems that small lures were the way to go that night.  Four of
    our keepers came on small worms fished ~8-10 feet down on steep shores
    and the other one on a spinnerbait.  We also caught LOTS of shorts.
       I have to admit it feels good to make a few (VERY few) bucks at one
    of these tourneys instead of just paying all the time.  The Kiv and I
    manage to squeak into the top third most of the time and with only 10
    teams showing up I guess we had to get into the money.  Does this mean
    we'll never place 1st unless only 3 boats show??  Only time will tell!!
       Hey Kiv!  After reading the results I realized that if we had only
    worked that big lunker we found by that downed tree (Had to be 6lbs.!)
    for another 2 minutes we might have put it in the boat and placed 1st!
       Bassmaster, thanks for the pre tourney beer and I'm happy NOT to
    have you tow us in this year!!  Kiver Murphys old 7hp may be slow but
    it always runs!
       Last but not least......Mr. Less Bass... Thanks for catching......
    .......LESS BASS!!!!  Murph and I are going to spend YOUR money on
    something fitting......................WEENIES!!
    
    			Had a great time!
