The greatest reason for you to attend an rofb tournament is that you can't
loose. You're bound to walk away (or fly, or drive...) with a huge smile on
your face. I've never had so much fun getting skunked (yea, I know - 3x on
the same lake...).

You'd think the odds would catch up with a guy that's made 10,000 casts,
pitches & flips into a lake where (at least a few) bass live, wouldn't you?
16 days I've spent on Boom's (semi-barren) waters. I've fished wood, rock,
& weeds. I've fished shallow cover & deep structure. I've drop-shotted,
Senko'ed, spinnerbaited, cranked, tubed & wormed. In thunder, lightning,
wind, sun & rain.

I should be a Boom Lake expert by now. But instead I've been unable to land
a single keeper.

Will I go back yet again & try to put an end to this jinx, try to conquer
Boom Lake's finicky bass & save face?

Thanks to Harry Thundercat for spending 3 full days in the tin can that I

We were all really hoping that you'd break that curse Warren... I can't tell
you how many times I said that to Joe on Saturday.

If it makes you feel any better, Joe and I fished one of our tournaments for
6 hours on Saturday and only weighed in one fish, and that one neing a 13"
spotted bass that went 1.33lbs. This, being a lake that we have spent over a
zillion hours on combined, you'd think that we could find at least a couple
of keepers in six hours....

HELL NO! I'm whooped. I admit defeat. Hehehe.

Thanks as always to the Huber clan for being such gracious hosts. I had an
absolute blast as always.

Thanks to Harry Thundercat for spending 3 full days in the tin can that I
rented. I'm sure it would've been a bit better if I charged the trolling
motor battery. Harry, by-the-way, landed keepers both days we practiced
together. He flat-out ruled Boom when it didn't count. Nice job T-cat!

Thanks to Chris Rennert for helping me drink all those White Russians.
Chris is a great guy & a super fisherman.

Great meeting Dan the wildman too, and seeing all my rofb buddies that made
the trip.

Congrats to all who boated bass in this epic contest - especially my good
friend Ronnie "Boom Lake" Garrison. I don't think Ronnie's ever spent a day
on Boom without catching a keeper, and I know he's spent more days there
than myself.

It's super-great to hear that Randy's feeling better & out casting again,
sorry he couldn't join us.

Special thanks also to all the non-attendees that predicted success for me
on this trip - you guys are truly nuts but I love you all!

As for Boom, well, that lake is pure evil.

It's good to be home.

Warren




"That evil Lake"

I know what it is Warren. The missing element is your boat. take it
next time to protect you from evil, dropshoting with smallie colors
will be the cure!

If I move to VA. by July of next year it would be an easier drive to
Boom's Northwood Classic, plus right next to Joe, Charles and "the
shadow"!

Thanks Gil buddy, I feel much better now!

For the record, I'd never launch my boat in Boom Lake - my ego can be
broken, but not my Gambler.

WW ;-)

Warren old man, I navigated my boat and Jerry's boat all over and did
not hit a thing. You should be skilled enough to manage that. I
would love a ride in a Gambler, bring it on up.

The greatest reason for you to attend an rofb tournament is that you

can't
loose. You're bound to walk away (or fly, or drive...) with a huge

smile on
your face. I've never had so much fun getting skunked (yea, I know -

3x
on
the same lake...).

You'd think the odds would catch up with a guy that's made 10,000

casts,
pitches & flips into a lake where (at least a few) bass live,

wouldn't
you?
16 days I've spent on Boom's (semi-barren) waters. I've fished wood,

rock,
& weeds. I've fished shallow cover & deep structure. I've

drop-shotted,
Senko'ed, spinnerbaited, cranked, tubed & wormed. In thunder,

lightning,
wind, sun & rain.

I should be a Boom Lake expert by now. But instead I've been unable

to
land
a single keeper.

Will I go back yet again & try to put an end to this jinx, try to

conquer
Boom Lake's finicky bass & save face?




(scroll down)
















HELL NO! I'm whooped. I admit defeat. Hehehe.

Thanks as always to the Huber clan for being such gracious hosts. I

had
an
absolute blast as always.

Thanks to Harry Thundercat for spending 3 full days in the tin can

that
I
rented. I'm sure it would've been a bit better if I charged the

trolling
motor battery. Harry, by-the-way, landed keepers both days we

practiced
together. He flat-out ruled Boom when it didn't count. Nice job

T-cat!

Thanks to Chris Rennert for helping me drink all those White

Russians.
Chris is a great guy & a super fisherman.

Great meeting Dan the wildman too, and seeing all my rofb buddies

that
made
the trip.

Congrats to all who boated bass in this epic contest - especially my

good
friend Ronnie "Boom Lake" Garrison. I don't think Ronnie's ever

spent a
day
on Boom without catching a keeper, and I know he's spent more days

there
than myself.

It's super-great to hear that Randy's feeling better & out casting

again,
sorry he couldn't join us.

Special thanks also to all the non-attendees that predicted success

for
me
on this trip - you guys are truly nuts but I love you all!

As for Boom, well, that lake is pure evil.

It's good to be home.

Warren



"That evil Lake"

I know what it is Warren. The missing element is your boat. take it
next time to protect you from evil, dropshoting with smallie colors
will be the cure!

If I move to VA. by July of next year it would be an easier drive to
Boom's Northwood Classic, plus right next to Joe, Charles and "the
shadow"!

Thanks Gil buddy, I feel much better now!

For the record, I'd never launch my boat in Boom Lake - my ego can be
broken, but not my Gambler.

WW ;-)
Warren old man, I navigated my boat and Jerry's boat all over and did
not hit a thing. You should be skilled enough to manage that. I
would love a ride in a Gambler, bring it on up.

The greatest reason for you to attend an rofb tournament is that

you
can't
loose. You're bound to walk away (or fly, or drive...) with a

huge
smile on
your face. I've never had so much fun getting skunked (yea, I

know -
3x
on
the same lake...).

You'd think the odds would catch up with a guy that's made 10,000

casts,
pitches & flips into a lake where (at least a few) bass live,

wouldn't
you?
16 days I've spent on Boom's (semi-barren) waters. I've fished

wood,
rock,
& weeds. I've fished shallow cover & deep structure. I've
drop-shotted,
Senko'ed, spinnerbaited, cranked, tubed & wormed. In thunder,
lightning,
wind, sun & rain.

I should be a Boom Lake expert by now. But instead I've been

unable
to
land
a single keeper.

Will I go back yet again & try to put an end to this jinx, try to
conquer
Boom Lake's finicky bass & save face?




(scroll down)
















HELL NO! I'm whooped. I admit defeat. Hehehe.

Thanks as always to the Huber clan for being such gracious hosts.

I
had
an
absolute blast as always.

Thanks to Harry Thundercat for spending 3 full days in the tin can

that
I
rented. I'm sure it would've been a bit better if I charged the
trolling
motor battery. Harry, by-the-way, landed keepers both days we

practiced
together. He flat-out ruled Boom when it didn't count. Nice job

T-cat!

Thanks to Chris Rennert for helping me drink all those White

Russians.
Chris is a great guy & a super fisherman.

Great meeting Dan the wildman too, and seeing all my rofb buddies

that
made
the trip.

Congrats to all who boated bass in this epic contest - especially

my
good
friend Ronnie "Boom Lake" Garrison. I don't think Ronnie's ever

spent a
day
on Boom without catching a keeper, and I know he's spent more days

there
than myself.

It's super-great to hear that Randy's feeling better & out casting
again,
sorry he couldn't join us.

Special thanks also to all the non-attendees that predicted

success
for
me
on this trip - you guys are truly nuts but I love you all!

As for Boom, well, that lake is pure evil.

It's good to be home.

Warren



"That evil Lake"

I know what it is Warren. The missing element is your boat. take it
next time to protect you from evil, dropshoting with smallie colors
will be the cure!

If I move to VA. by July of next year it would be an easier drive to
Boom's Northwood Classic, plus right next to Joe, Charles and "the

Southern accent? You looked at a map lately? Gil is moving north to
Virginia!

Gil, Newport News is one of my favorite stretches of the eastern seaboard.
It's not as close to Nashville as you might expect... 500 miles back east is
a lot longer than 500 miles out west. I don't know why, but it just is.
