Hey All,

Sorry I haven't been keeping you guys up to date on the going's on up
here, but believe it or not, I've been "somewhat" busy.

For those of you that didn't show up this year, you missed a good
tournament. The weather was a bit iffy today with thunderstorms forecast,
but it wouldn't be a Rhinelander tournament without some change in the
weather. But, we did laugh way into the darkness, renewed old friendships
and forged new ones.

This was an "interesting" tournament to say the least with some great bags
brought in. Had Wisconsin changed it's rules on culling, several of the
entrants would have been culling both days. As it was, I didn't keep
track of the total number of fish caught, but we brought to the scales
112.25 pounds of smallmouth and largemouth bass for eleven guys over two
days of fishing. I can't remember what last year's total was, but I
believe this was a record catch. Some good fish were weighed as well,
with at least 6 in the three pound class and two pushing four pounds!

The ranking for the BRMC 2007 is as follows;

Ronnie - 20 lb. 6 oz.

Moe - 19 lb. 5 oz.

Jason - 17 lb. 12 oz.

Gary - 16 lb. 8 oz.

Gil - 12 lb. 1 oz.

Chris - 9 lb. 1 oz.

Steve - 7 lb. 6 oz.

Dan - 6 lb. 14 oz.

Jim - 1 lb. 10 oz.

Fritz - 1 lb. 5 oz.

Randy - 0

Doc - 0

The Big Bass Honors this year get split between two anglers that brought
in some nice fish. A smallie and a largemouth were identical at 3 lb. 15
oz. These anglers were our own Moe and a friend of mine, Jason.

While Randy had a great practice day, the wheels came off during the
actual event. BUT, he did catch a very chunky 38 inch muskie to gain him
the largest "Non-Bass" trophy. On the other hand, he did lose a bet to
Moe, further details will forthcoming I'm sure.

You guys really need to consider making the trek to Rhinelander next year.
It'll be the Thursday and Friday after Labor Day again.

Now, I'm off to eat fish......
