My GF and I will be there at 7:30 am Saturday.  I tryed to make it there to rig rods, but the traffic was overwelming on my route, figure they would be done by the time I showed up.  Hope all the rods get rigged up fine.  See some of yal there.
  

Wishful Sponsors: BassCat Boats, Mercury Marine, Tackle Warehouse, Chevy Trucks, Chevron Gas, G-Loomis Rods, Shimano Reels.

Slight correction - that's the VP of the Seahawks that Larry took out.  Shocked   

Great event.  Great fun.  Great food, cheerleaders, drum band, TV cameras... weeee!  Western had a good showing, with several members participating in both the Pro and Celebrity divisions.

I had the pleasure of taking out LB Will Herring, a 5th round draft pick out of Auburn Univerisity.  He'd been bass fishing plenty of times before, but never for smallmouth.  His first, and biggest, went 2 1/2 pounds, off a dock right in front of the homeowners, who cheered when he caught it.   Cheesy  I gotta tell you, that was fun watching him do that!

I'm sure others will chime in here. What a fun day on the water.  Hope y'all get a chance to do it next year!

Thanks Glenn.......my mistake! But yes...it was a blast...seeing Clay do what he does and in person....AMAZING!! Ever tied a knot with your tongue?
Nuff said!
Michael Bouleware was an awesome angler with the only fish to the boat ( Smally at 1.32 lbs)  but plenty of bites!
Carol...my housemate made us cookies and I got a great picture of Mike..(the V.P) and Mike (the D.B.) chowing them down! Wink

Great job guys, wish I could have been there to participate.  Had other commitments.  Undecided  That would have been special to see Clay.  Reminds me of the great inspiration we had in our own club.  Rich Loth.  Still missing him.  Cry

Wow, Glenn and Larry you guys had a GREAT time it seems.  Maybe it will rub off on them Seahawks and they will become avid bass fisherman in the future.  I bet Larry was about to do a dance with Clay and the other VIP's in his boat.  Way to go and be great spokesmen for our sport.  Hope everyone had a great time and did well in the tourney too.

Western had great representation with Lyle Logston also taking a player out and Smitty, Russ, Phil, Mark Chevier all fished the tourney which...I hope will catch on and be a regular fixture every year.
I was not able to go over to the Kids event but saw Andrea and Brock and Mike Beedle and his daughter. Nice to see everyone!!


Opps....sorry Chris! Chris Blandi and his girlfriend....I will remember her name someday!!  Tongue

Great event well hosted by WBCer's there to help out. had a limit by 7:30 am biggest was a 3-8 but could not get any other kickers with just over 11.25lbs and one dead fish Cry. It was a Hobbs show again. Maybe someday one of our clubbers will beat him on his own water. When you know the lake as well as he does he is hard to beat.

Had a great time, will probably do it again next year.
