I’m going to be over next Sunday. Any updated reports. I don’t fish spring lake.

It sure is nice to know that culling will hurt fisheries but catch and kill is alright. Your Wisconsin DNR at it’s finest.

I was wondering why they didn’t close the rollers and drop the water so they could get at things below the waterline. One of the fire cheifs was saying the divers were having a hard time with the current.
My prayers go out to all the people involved and God Bless the helpers.

There is no such thing as common sense. If it were commomn everybody would have it. I knew a guy that got turned around while idleling in the fog. He said he didn’t trust his GPS.

Good Luck in the BFL slop !!

thanks, I’ll pass it on to my fiend

I think they could be picking on Roush cars because Jack Roush said some things about Toyota coming in to Nascar. Also they said something about some holes cut in his wheel wells

I have fished it 1st week of June and had great luck with smallies. There are a couple of reefs that come up to about a ft deep and then drop off to about 15 ft. Those should be good. We caught some nice crappies in June some aroung 14 to 16 inchers. But you can only keep seven crappies a day. Good Luck

Good Luck!

When are you going. The Ranger owners tournament is down there on May 12th. They say there could be 400 to 500 boats.

Don’t let up we need that at every meeting.

Nice fish Kizew.

One more thing- Your story (Federation Qualifier schooling the best-of-the-best) should have been about the biggest story of the year in the world of professional bass fishing… .

Nice one slop what ya get er on?

pass on the info when you get it.

Great job Jim. Keep it going. I guess that Ranger isn’t slowing you down that much.

Did you eat it raw or did you make them cook it. Did you get the happy uummm ? never mind.

It wasn’t that good for me. We had 4 fish. I don’t have my sheet to give any results I gave it away to someone at the weigh in. Bassman will have something on futurebass.com. I do know 19 something won 16 something was second and third was 15.7

It was a pleasure meeting you to Bassman

welcome to the dark side Jim.
Great looking boat. I hope you win a lot of that contingency money.

We are still running are club as years past. Entry fee is $200 per team plus $10 big bass is optional. Here is a link to our web site. http://www.anglersedge.net/

My prayers to his and your family on this sad anniversary.

I to want to thank Corporal Travis Bruce and thank you to all the troops!!!

Thanks guys.
Jolly. If I understand this correctly. Mapcreate will give you a little better definition than what comes on the units and navionics will give me more detail as far as contours. I fish alot in Wisconsin including the Mississippi river.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying I agree with Rangers decision. I think Ike is a product of JM industries or what ever company it is the Jerry Mcginnis owns. I think they made him what he is today and they used him up. If they wanted to DQ somebody they should have DQed Swindle last year for getting mad and running without a life jacket and not stowing his trolling motor. So he could yell at another angler for fishing his fish.

Kris that is his second apolygy.
Heres his first. It looks like somebody slapped him upside the head and told him to try again.
The first is the accountability and standard to by which BASS tournament officials make rulings and decisions. There are two parts to this:

First, after finding all of my fish dead or dying, I immediately called one of the official tournament directors. I was informed by a B.A.S.S. official that there was no dead fish culling rule in BASS and it was ok to cull a dead fish. Fortunately, I was able to revive all but two fish and did not have to cull a dead fish. But I later found out that they had given me the wrong information and it was indeed illegal to cull a dead fish.

Second, after being informed that I was disqualified under the sportsmanship rule, I highly disagreed with the decision. I immediately inquired about the appeals process and I was told by BASS officials that there was no appeal process to the ruling. No appeal process? So there is no way to protest a decision made by one mans opinion to a situation. The sportsmanship rule is a gray rule and I do not believe that I deserved to have my days catch disqualified. Was I the first angler ever to use profanity during an event? No. Was I even the first angler to ever damage a light pole during an event? No. Was I being made an example. Possibly, but there is no way to determine this without a formal process of appeal. In a high stakes true professional sport there needs to be a more accurate form of rules and judgments and a rational determination of those rules and judgments.

The second issue that this incident brought up is being forced to use other sponsors equipment and boats. If I was in my own boat during the 2006 Classic there is no way my fish would have died in the live well. It is amazing that in the biggest most prestigious event in the world, we are forced to use equipment and boats other than our own. Until we are able to use our own boats and equipment during all of the events we fish in, these event will never be true professional events.

In closing I’d like to thank my sponsors and fans for sticking by me. I will be looking ahead to moving forward with the rest of the season.”

I agree. I am proud of Jimmy but ESPN\BASS will be getting a nasty letter from me. I think I will drop one to Ray Scott also and ask him how he feels about the way his boss treats federation guys.

I think the wife and I will be up there Saturday. Where do I find all you guys? Right now it sounds like Brovarney better have a big booth.

Jimmy WHO ?????

Oh that guy that’s going to the CLASSIC.

I’m leaving thursday the 9th. we stay at LasPalmas 2000 http://www.lakeguerreromexico.com/ this will be our third year in a row. We have yet to break the 8lb. mark. Can you email with what you were fishing with and any other tips? [email protected]

I guess the good part is that they were arrested and this is from the trial.
