Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | Sometimes you do the whuppin, sometimes you get whupped....last year, I put a hurting on Ralph Florio (aka. Musky Fever) 4-0 with a 41.5, 38.5, 36, and 30"....this year Ralphie was out for revenge!!!
What started out as a half day excurision on the Chain of all places, turned out to be a day of reckoning! Four fish by Ralphie, zero for me. Suckers and Slammer Drop Belly Gliders took a 46.5, 45, 37 and 35!!! Also....we had about 28 follows in addition to the fish boated, glad everyone headed up to Wisconsin for the opener!
Slamr!

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Great day on the water ANYWHERE, and especially on the Chain. Slamr was the conduit that 'Drew' them to you, Ralph. I am sure the reason you stuck them all today is fate was trying to level the field! Sounds like the Slammer Drop belly is going to be a very hot bait this year. |

If he would have blanked me again, he would be a permanent part of the structure on the bottom of the Fox Chain. HA HA HA:) |

| Way to go Ralph! Man, you done good. Hope you didn't jinx the rest of the season. 
Also, I'm relieved you didn't have to murder SLAMR. But we all would have understood. In the event you ever do, you can hide out at my house. There's lots of good fishing nearby, and you can make a break for the swamps where the cops close in.
