I really liked the way Jon and crew handled the tough AM conditions due to the cold. Launching went VERY slowly with some rigs frozen to their bunk trailers, a few motors didn’t want to start and Jon got everyone in the water before cutting us all loose. The 15 minute late start was no big deal to those of us already in the water but I’m sure it made all those still waiting in line to launch feel like they got a fair shake. I tip my hat to him for making a good call on the fly.
Thanks! I couldn’t do it without all the help I got.
A big thanks to:

And everyone who pitched in to run a basket or help someone load un-load a boat, or just came to watch the weigh in. Hope to see everyone at a warmer April event!
I’ll have to Ditto you Gary. Good job Jon… It was fun and great to meet everyone. Good time was had by all Jen “Always Right” I like that, thats good..
Even though I prefer skis and “big” pike. I think that fish really made me the proudest!! That fish was perfect. Not a fin torn, a scale missing, a scuff, scratch, scar. I never seen a more “perfect” fish.
