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"!

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?

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.

"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!

Actually, I weighed in as many bass this year as in all the past three
together. In six days before this I weighed in one bass each day except one
for a total of five in three years. This year was much better for most folks
- Steve's sixth place finish this year would have won the first two. And the
winning weight last year would have been third or fourth this year. Maybe we
are gettting better on Boom, or maybe there really are more bass there?
