 I wanna give out a big Thank U to Andy(Duke) for the kids tourney he put on this weekend. If i dont  win a tourney this year or ever again.. i will never have a better moment than when the kid i took fishing hooked his first bass.. he told me when we got to the first spot after the boat ride "well heck that made my day".(the boat ride) i told him just wait im gonna get u on some fish. it was a lake that i hadnt been on in 2 years but had some GPS points on some stuff. They were close and i figured id take him for a ride first thing. to make things interesting. he loved it. i think the kid out fished me on numbers Sunday.. every spot i pulled up on i think he got a fish or 2.. awesome. I cant thank Andy enough for what he does for those kids its just great. Thank you to Brian and Chris from Nemesis also there were plenty of Sickos to go around for all the kids. Kudos to u guys also. Virgil from Crooked Creek u too, thank u for your contribution. U dont know what it means to them. what and awesome feeling.. GLB thank u too i heard there was tackle donated from here. thats why this is the best site on the internet.

Way to go Andy (Duke) Buss!! And thanks to you too skeeterman190! That's how we truly make a difference!!

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

Andy called me up Friday looking for another boater because someone had canceled at the last minute, but I was going to be out of town fishing in Ludington.  Hey Phil, my brother Larry fished it I'm pretty sure.  You see a big tall geeky guy with a white, blue and black Stratos (201 I think) with a 250 Yami on the back??  Just want to thank you for stepping up and helping out with your boat.  I saw some of the boats coming up 31 while I was on the way to my daughters soccer games in Lakeville.

I gave my kid a ride first thing also. He fished a Crooked Creek Stick all day and was skipping docks and pontoons by the end of the morning. He kept up with me fish for fish. Too bad the size limit wasn't 13 1/2"! We each caught 7 fish and none of them were keepers. Closest one he had was just short at 13-7/8...We had a great time though.

I am really happy to hear you guys enjoyed yourselves. Its really a gratifying experience. I didn't fish, I figured I was better on shore doing the PR after launch and helping guys load boats afterwords.

I said beforehand that the compliments were going to come my way, but I don't deserve them. All I did was make phone calls. All the praise belongs to boaters:

Also, a big Thank You to the companies & individuals that donated:

Nemesis Baits
Extreme Bass Tackle
Justin Keithley (glb member)
Pure Fishing
Four Seasons Bass Club
Komodo Dragon Tournament Poured Plastics
Crooked Creek Tackle

I plan to write something up with a bunch of photos and send to Dan, hopefully, he'll put it on the website; although I noticed he's not always that fast posting article.  ;D
