Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum

Please put Josh Cooper (JCOOPER) and his family in your thoughts and prayers today.
At 8:30 this morning his wife was scheduled to bring thier third child into the world. He now has enough to run a good zone defense, but will have to wait a while until they are able to master the full court press.
Here's to hoping everything went well Josh.

joshimoto son ;D

Wow! Moving back to Michigan I heard. Having a baby... can he juggle too?

Hope everything goes well.

Congratulations Coop, if I'm not mistaken he was back in Michigan almost every weekend anyway, he fished more Michigan tournaments last year living in Mizzou than I did living here.

I am, I am a Michigan man ask me where I'm from and I'll show you my hand...

Thanks guys!  I didnt see this til today.  Dan had to reset my password (again) and it took me forever to get thru all the thread I had missed. 

Baby and Mom are both great.  Baby has this weird condition though.  She doesnt like to sleep durig the night.  She can sleep all day, but night-time is designated for staring at you and then crying and screaming if you close your eyes for more than 5 seconds while watching Ron Popiel and Billy Mays at 4 am and holding her on the couch.  It must be hereditary though becuase both of my other duaghters both had the same condition.

Also.  I am going to have to call my lawn guy or something. I am not sure what he sprayed on the grass but it seems to have 8 inches of white growth on top of it.  Alot of it spilled over onto the driveway also.  It was so deep, I had to shovel a bunch of it out of the way just so that I could pull the car and all its car seats into the garage.  Oh well I am sure the lawn guy will have it taken care of by spring!

Hey josh congrats from kim and I. they dont let you sleep at night for about 18 years, but it goes by real quick and ron is still selling the pocket fisherman and my boy is 30y/o. We have this white growth down here right now and it must be light or like popcorn because it is flying around all over the place right now. We didnt have a lot of this stuff in phoenix. Let the lawn guy take care of it for sure.
Kim wants the stats; how many inches and lbs and ounces. It must have been legal because you kept it and didnt throw it back. time and duration of labor if thats not to personal for moma. boy or girl? Have you a name yet besides "is it your turn" .
we'll be in touch on the fishing lake tutoring we tossed up some time ago. we'll call in a few just let us know when is a good time.
God bless
don and kim

Babies are basically strictly catch-and-keep!

Congratulations Josh. Welcome fully back to Michigan. You've still got a t-shirt coming... maybe at the GR fishing show?

Congrats man.  There's absolutely nothing like having your own kid.  Nothing.

But they do grow up fast.  So buckle your seat belts it's gonna be a bumpy ride.
