Dan, that is true.  I have fought with a whitetail deer in my house over a ham and cheese sandwich. 

Jeff, I think everyone caught them but me.  I ran down to Ti, where I found several big fish Monday.  Today, they just wouldn't eat.  I had 8 1/2 pounds today.  I had to be back at 2:20 and the big weights coming from down there were by the later flights.  They said the bite turned on about 1. And I was long gone by then.

You will get them tomorrow I am sure.  Dave Realut I believe was the highest from around here followed by Ryan Said Joe Balog and Chad Pipkens all with over 16 lbs.  Chad and Ryan both lost a Big fish but were not to upset with their fishing.  Chad was boat like 194 and has a spot that he should do well tomorrow with boat number 7 we will see.  As cos Rich Chambless Dru Bray and Josh K all were doing ok but need bigger fish tomorrow.  I found out Dru Bray practiced with Chad Pipkens and one day this week Chads 5 best were close to 24 and Drus 5 best were over 20 so Pipkens is on some nice fish just has to get them to bite.

Dave R. is coming with the thunder on Day 2!  He learned so much from me being in the back of the 520 at State-Fish Off that I am confident his weights will improve every day!

My friend Jason Root is in 60th with 15-4. A huge improvement from last week when he finished almost dead last in the FLW tournament. Weights are pretty tight from what I can see.

Yea we regularly beat up on Zeeland.  ;D
I taught for 34 years in Jenison starting in 72. My three sons went to Hudsonville and I've watched a number of baseball and football games between Zeeland and Hudsonville. Went to Rogers High School and I think back in the day we played Zeeland as well.
