This trip has been fun telling Linda about past trips and fishing all
the familiar places and eating at the Pub and Al Gen tonight. She got
a good laught when I told her about Steve's kiss during the award's
ceremony. Something is missing without the whole crew here, tho.

Steve - the bartenders said Hi right back at you. Wanted to know
when you were coming home.

Below is our trip today on Boom.It started out like the lake we all
remember and hate.

Friday - September 11, 2009 - Day 253

Fished Boom Lake again and it tried to live up to its tough
reputation, After five hours Linda had two small bass and I had
three. Then we hit a point at about 2 PM and I got a 13 inch
smallmouth and the next cast she got a pretty 3.5 pound smallmouth. We
fished the point until an idiot family in a pontoon boat rode right
over where I was casting . I yelled at him that I would hurry up and
get my line out of his way and said a few other things.

We fished another point and Linda got a small largemouth, then we hit
a bar and grassline full of bass. Linda hooked bass on eight
consecutive casts and landed five of them. We caught 18 bass off that
area - most small largemouth, but Linda did get a nice 2 pound plus
smallmouth.

We ended the day back where she got the big one - I got my last keeper
there.

Total today - 28 bass but only 3 keepers.

In the faux NWC Linda and I fished on WEd and today, she won with
five keepers weighing about 12 pounds and her 3.5 pound smallmouth was
big fish. I finished second with four keepers weighing about 9 pounds

Saw Gil's truck at the landing but never saw him. Have not called him
since I have been sick and hated to make plans.
