Mackey gets $69,000 and a new truck worth $45,000 for winning.Mackey said before the race started that the prize money is important so he doesn't have "to get a real job." Hero?

Jes' harness up 'ole Marv, Lew.

It could be a scent issue, buy some type of scent neutralizer from the tackle shop, then see what happens.

Truer words are seldom spoken.

Notice the double wishbone suspension!

While on a trip up North, I stopped at a rest area, as nature was calling. I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying: "Hi how are you?" I'm not the type to start a conversation in the Men's restroom at a rest stop but, I don't know what got in to me, so I answered, somewhat ambarrassedly: "Doin' just fine"! And the other guy says: "So what are you up to?" (What kind of question is that?) At that point, I'm thinking this is too bizzare, so I say: "Huh", I'm like you, just traveling North". At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question: "Can I come over to your place after a while?" Ok, this question is just whacky, but I figured I could just be polite and end the conversation as quickly as I could as I was now beginning to feel very uneasy. I tell him, "Well I have company over so today is a bad day for me!" Then I hear the guy say: "Listen I have to call you back, there's an idiot in the other stall who keeps answering my questions".

A big thanks, Irish, for yet another glimpse into what I wish I could also do. It goes to show that fishing can be pretty tough even on these seldom fished remote lakes.

Yeah, a couple prominent board members, they should be declarin' themselves shortly.

Yeah, I've had it before, it tasted like crap!!

What, some guy in a monkey suit.

Unfortunately, the critters shown in the 'Name that Critter' series were forwarded to me as such, not manipulated by myself, Granny or Elly-Mae.

Yer heart is in the right place. Hope the lil cuss is fine otherwise. Old Duke says hi!

Anyone headin' out in this blizzard today fer a fish, is courtin' disaster.

Wall, I'll be durned, snow in 'Bama!

Good one.

Great news, Camilj. I was wonderin' if you would hang tough. Time to throw out that old pack.

Ah figured an Orang-A-Woof.

Suwanee Bass.

Eee doggies, Glen, you always seem to have some beauts. I think you freeze and unthaw them to show over and over.

Good thing you were not fishing out of a 6 inch hole, at least you were able to land 'im.

May you find the strenght to carry on during these most difficult of times.
