Team Michigan Wins It All!
A very eventful week is coming to an end. Team Michigan does their job at the TBF Northern Divisional Championship putting almost 500 pounds on the board for an 86 pound win over 2nd place Indiana.
Final Report on TBF N Div tomorrow
I had intended to provide some details today about the wrap up of the 08 TBF N Divisional, but we had a somewhat unexpected death in the family early this morning so I’ll have to report things tomorrow sometime instead.
Caught a 200-pounder and it was this big!!
Well… I probably won’t be able to forget today… ever. One part of the ‘fond’ memories of my massive 6 pound catch of 3 measly little squeaker keepers is hauling my nonboater partner back out of the St. Clair River (69 F water) after he took a header off the bow.
Day 1 is in the books
Well, this didn’t go quite the way I personally hoped, but the team did pretty well. Modrak is leading and several other members – Cummings, Peck, Reiter off the top of my head (tired head) had real good weights.
The Big Day is finally here…
Well, tomorrow it counts. Tomorrow the hooks will be set with full and unforgiving force because we all need to bring in the bags. We can’t let Michigan down and lose on our home turf!!! No way. We would never live it down.
Remind me why I do this…?
What a day…? Not sure it taught me a lot, but… I think… once I dry out I will have a better idea. I ran into TBF of Michigan Pres Dennis Beltz on the way out this morning and spent some time going over plans
Tomorrow is a better day…
Well, had to work late every night this week at the ‘day’ job so nothing much prepared. Now comes Saturday and I have a zillion things to do to get on the road for the 2008 TBF Northern Divisional Championship.

How to Attain Local Sponsors
I’d like to begin by giving credit for the idea of local sponsorship to Scott Rauber the author of Fish for Free.
