This is a tale of two lakes. Intertwined lakes, in Barry County, Michigan. Where somehow the water has gone away. Upper and Lower Crooked Lakes, both near and dear to me, are suffering from the lowest water levels I've seen in the 35+ years I've been fishing them.

Just wondered if anyone was a fan of KVD on facebook? I signed up today.

What's the link to his fan page?

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

I'm not sure what the link is but if you're a facebook user just simply search Kevin Van Dam and it will come up.

I'm going to do that right now.

Got Fish??

Any one know Mark Zona's link to his page. Now that guy would be a scream to talk to,or fish with.

MadWags

Mark came by the Grandt Rods booth in Suffern New York last Friday. I talked to him for about ten minutes. Jim used to build his Zona Rods. We talked about fishing and guys like Dan, Mini, Mac and Kevin.
Original song and lyrics by "MadWags"

What's with the news these days on the TV and the radio. Can't find the truth amongst the lies. Some talking head that claims to live their life in a better way, says I have to compromise. But now there's something on the rise. Truth has opened up my eyes. There's no running from your dirty lies. You can't avoid the truth. I'll no longer close my eyes.

 i knew mark back when, he worked at moore boats in ligonier indiana at the ranger dealer. i used to come in there and drool over those pretty boats they had. gave me some good info on fishing a new lake. now if i could just remember what he said >:(

Easy to become a fan very difficult to become a friend. I have been accepted as a friend by every pro I've requested except KVD and Ike. They didn't reject my request they just never responded and it still shows the request as pending. They must not get on there much.

I imagine with their popularity that by the time they get back to the computer from the latest string of tournaments they have 100 pages of email with about 2,000 spam messages. They could probably use someone to do this type of thing for them to have some hope of  keeping up.

I wonder how much email each of them gets a day? I get at least 200 on my main addresses. Another 40 to 70 at the day job. The morning I logged on to my key addresses back from the jungle in Manaus, 638 email messages came up. Not hard at all to get behind or lose some that way and...

Just on names:
'dan kimmel' gets 390 searches a month average on Google (and some of that is probably for the movie critic guy in Boston not this web site)

'kevin vandam' gets 14,700 a month average on Google!

'mike iaconelli' gets 20,000 a month average on Google!!

They both have hundreds of additional searches for various items or topics. Heck, 'mike iaconelli tattoos' gets 28 searches a month!! ;D

Wow! I wonder how much email they do get a day! A week! A month!?! I hope you don't take it personal.

Tell you what. It won't be anything like KVD or Ike but if you send me a friend request, I promise I will accept it by tomorrow night ;D Best I can do.

Cool Dan!!! I will sign up to be a fan of GLBass.com

gbaade

LOL! I definitely don't take it personal. I just like the updates the pro's post about practice before the big tournaments.

I joined the GLB page and sent you a friend request.

djkimmel

One of my future goals is to do on the water reports from remote places close to live... IF is still get to go and IF I can afford it (and IF the fish aren't biting TOO good!!! ;D)

Thanks for signing up guys! I will keep working on it. I'm behind the eight ball on this stuff.
