Been lurking most of the summer thought it was time to say Hi. Just got back into tournaments after quite a long hiatus. Used to fish TriState all the way back when it was Otto's, Team Michigan, and Great Plains. Have figured out who a few of you are, although we have all gotten a bit older. LOL
Now retired and splitting time between the Holland area and Mancelona. Should get a few more trips in yet this fall before getting the sleds out. Always looking for someone to fish with my girlfriend/partner is working during the week and fishing alone everyday can get to be a pita after a while.

Thanks for making the membership move. Mancelona still have an annual Bass King and/or Queen? I drove through there several times this year and I think I just missed the old bass festival time.

Dan,

I have only been there for a short while in relative terms, not sure how they do that little festival. That being said I can remember  when you were up and coming and had fairly bright red hair, largemouth was just a little...er short er young guy  anyway enough of that, HAPPY to be here, hope to make some friends The beauty of the future is you only have 2 options .... FLEX OR B FLEXED. I finally have some time to devote to me and the things I love. Julie would be number 1 fishing, bass fishing in particular #2. I have somewhat limited knowledge although I have been around a little while, I remember when KVD was waiting for his license so he could continue the domination of Michigan. I can  name drop forever not what I would like to do, anything I pass along and share I am more then happy to do.

You are talking about the good old days... now I have faded red hair with a little white mixed in ;D

I didn't know LGMOUTH back then but I do remember a gangly teenager 16 year old who would come to be King Kong of the bass world! Back then, he was just another VanDam come to take more of our money!! :D

The good old days and before...dont call Kevin gangley I was much more politically correct then that. Seriously I go WAY back. I love what you are doing and I would be more then happy to assist in the cause......short of going anywhere near Detroit. If you need assistance north or west I would be happy to help.

Yeah... but he was gangly! I wouldn't tell him that now and he's too busy to come here and read it. (But I might tell Z if and when I see him next because he always thinks that stuff if funny) ;D
