TODAYS ARM EVENT ON LAKE MENOMIN WAS ANOTHER HUGE SUCCESS WITH EVERY BOAT BRINGING IN FISH AND PLENTY OF STORIES TO GO ALONG WITH THEM.I HAD THE PLEASURE OF FISHING WITH A YOUNG MAN NAMED JOHN AND HIS PARTNER JOE.JOHN HANDLED THE POLE LIKE A PRO AND WAS THE FIRST TO FIND THE FISH FOR US.WE HAD A COUPLE OF HOURS OF FISHING IN THIS MORNING WHEN A THUNDERSTORM CAME IN AND FORCED US OFF THE WATER FOR ABOUT AN HOUR THEN THE SUN CAME BACK FOR US AND IT WAS FISHING IN FULL FORCE.WE HAD A VARIETY OF FISH IN OUR BOAT MOSTLY COMING IN ON BLUE SHAD RAPS.WE DIDNT SET ANY RECORDS ON SIZE BUT EVERY FISH THAT CAME IN FOR JOHN WAS A MONSTER.THIS WAS THE BEST DAY ON THE WATER FOR ME IN A LONG TIME,NOT JUST FOR THE FISH BUT THE MEMORIES THAT YOUNG MAN WILL HAVE FOREVER.NOT ONLY WAS HE A GREAT FISHERMAN HE WAS ALSO A TOP SHELF BOAT DRIVER.I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ANYONE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ARM EVENT TO GIVE IT A TRY.THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME AND CERTAINLY NOT MY LAST.HERE ARE A FEW PICS FROM TODAY.A BIG THANK YOU GOES OUT TO DON HANSON,STEVE GREEN,STEVES WIFE,ALL THE FOLKS WHO DONATED PRIZES,FOOD AND DRINKS, AND ALL OTHERS FOR GETTING THE EVENT TOGETHER TODAY AND MAKING IT A HUGE SUCCESS.
