I'm not trying to rush winter. I'm sure some semblance of winter is on the way. That means we are approaching the 2026 Ultimate Sport Show Tour - the three biggest fishing and outdoor sport shows in Michigan!

Yesterday at the Natural Resources Commission meeting in Lansing, science prevailed thanks to many, many persons who took the time to write in, and especially those who showed up to speak before the Commission on Commissioner Walters’ amendment to close bass fishing on the Inland Waterway and Black Lake from May 1 until the third Saturday in June.

I don't have regular Internet at the show but it was nice to you AND your wife up and around.

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.

She's paying for it. That's the longest walk she's been on since surgery. She wasn't real thrilled about being in the truck for two hours getting home. But, it's progress nonetheless. We even got a pic with KVD.

I thought I saw you Mike just before KVD was coming out to talk as we were sitting up in the bleachers. Sorry I didn't get a chance to come say hi but I'm glad to see things with your wife are improving

We'll have internet there today. Dan and I should both be on here.

It was nice to finally meet Z.  He seems to be a real nice guy.
So much water.  So many lures.  So little time.

Z doesn't like me. I failed to win the Ultimate Fishing Tournament (3rd place) BUT... I did beat my Ultimate Sport Show Tour nemesis (and self-proclaimed trout angler) David A. Rose!!! Yes! A BASS angler beat a trout angler by catching a bigger trout!!! ;D

That will have to do it for me!

Mike S. - I didn't even know you had people!?! Wow! Impressive!

   Oh, I'll definitely have to let him hear about that Dan  !!!!!!!!!!    ;)

I do believe the Big "Z" said he needed that photo to boost his media exposure

And where is the photo of Dan on the dock after that big trout?

Had a look on his face like he just pooped his pants! 

And the poor girl filming it is still trying to get the lure out of her hair!
Help a handicapped angler live his dream!

I think I just got her in the leg...?? Have you ever tried casting one of those tiny trout hooks?!? I couldn't even see it more than a foot from my face. I would have gone for a bigger trout but I lost my bait when it bounced off the dock or something.

I don't know if anyone got any pictures of the BIG Ultimate Fishing Tournament?? I forgot my camera both Thursday and Friday. Darn! Two big heroes of mine are there and I forget my camera. I hope someone got some pictures. I don't know who was doing the video... if it was the radion station or Showspan?!?

Someone has it. Hopefully, they edit out my first cast. Maybe my 2nd cast too.

Regardless - my primary goal was to beat my nemesis David A. Rose - and I did that!! Victory is sweet! Even with a wiggling, slippery trout involved.
