Location: Cudahy, WI | Nice fish and congratulations!
Which island is that in the backround of the first pic? Is that one of the potato islands? If fished all around them suckers for a couple of weeks along reeds lined with cabbage and all I ever moved was bass and pike. Thought it was a killer looking area and was bound to prduce one day.
Did it?

Location: Cudahy, WI | I love the different facial expressions between the two pics.
The first one is....JOY.."Yeah, finally got one for the board and it's a fatty. I'm happy. I'm proud."....and deservedly so.
Then pic number 2 ..... SHOCK...."Holy Crackers! Did I really catch this? What's my pulse rate? Do you have all of us in the picture? Holy crap. This is awesome. Are you sure that it's gonna be a good pic? Crap, almost stepped on my rod. My eyes are stuck open. I think I'm in love."
I love it!!!
What a difference 4 and a half inches can make.
Way to go man. Your personal best and a fatty to boot. Stick your chest out. Then go make an 8x10 as soon as your can.
If my arm was longer I'd pat you on the back.
I think next year I'm taking 3 weeks off and staying up and waiting for you guys.

| ehhehehehe!
Must of been all the lubrication he drank a couple nights before that!
Tough, tough week on Cass. Water dropped all week do to the dam being open and Lake Bemidji closed. Can hardly get a boat in! Mike worked VERY hard for that fish as did Extreme, BF & Sankey! Everyone had chances!
I did manage to get a 41" on that other lake with Duck on Sat. afternoon.
Thanks to all who made it and put up with bad weather tough fishing and the naked guy in Duck's boat.
Only 340 some days till Cass 2004 "Gettin More in 2004"

| I know you guys will find this hard to believe...but, bet you couldn't guess he got both of them on an Undertaker.
My week at Talladega rocked. Had a great time, spent all week in the infield, towed a couple cars and got a few pictures and autographs. But, after what I saw on the board, maybe Cass would have been good to me too.
