Oh my gosh were these fish tiny! Especially that one smallmouth that Mike is holding...That thing looked like it was on a starvation diet!!!! I shouldn't complain...at least we had fish to weigh in :-)

Yeah...I was giving Mike grief at the weigh-in about how he DIDN'T come running to my aid when I had one whopper of a rockbass on the end of my line...lol I mean heck...that could have been a big bass!!!!! I sure was right there with the net when he had a fish on!!!! ;-) I'll let it slide this time.

Phew...thank god I drew his number in the raffle! lol

Is there a better way to spend time with my sister? I don't think so! What a memorable day we had :-)

Mark has become a real good friend of mine over the last couple of years. Finally, two of my favorite people got to meet and spend some time together in Buffalo, New York, when the Bassmaster Elite Tour was fishing Lake Erie.

Was she excited to finally meet Mike? You betcha! Hanna (my daughter) came with me to the Mens Bassmaster Elite tourney (Empire Chase on Lake Erie) She volunteered with me in the weigh-in area, and got to meet all of her favorite fishing Pro's.
