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.

Got Fish??

I pick Brandon Card to win. My long shot is  Nate Welman from Michigan, he will fish on the finale day.

fishstick

My other picks are taken so I'm going with Cliff Pace for some reason.

FOB

OK Laporte, I know this is your contest and rules, but how do you get a pick to win?  So, I will pick Mike McCleland due to your default.  ( if that's ok by the rules committee ).
Ralph Blasey
Wonderland Marine West  734-417-5550

Team houston

If a lot of people pick the same guy and he wins, we are going to send poor Don, to the poor house.

Gerald Swindle with a jerk bait bite.

Jason christie.  I would bet 1.00 on
Nate Welam if I was in Vegas.  That would be a long shot bet.  Going to be interesting to see how he is treated there.

I may change my pick to Frosty the snow man.  Pic from todays practice.


thedude

if its a jerkbait bite - i'll go with mclleland, if its not i'll go with <gasp> aaron martens </gasp>

That being said, if i had to put money down, i'm going with Bill Lowen for any cold water situation

I say it's going to be Dan Kimmel, because he has red hair.

I hope you volunteer better than you pick!?! ;D I will be at Outdoorama watching from the outside like many of us. The only way I will fish in a Classic is to sneak on the lake someday at night!! (Someone already picked him but I'm still picking JVD too because I I want to see Randy deal with that, I want him to win and I want one of you to get LAPORTE's free lure!! :) )

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 have to teach people to read rules carefully. If you pick someone who has already been picked, you won't make LAPORTE by you a lure!!! You have to pick someone new if you want to make LAPORTE by you a lure!!

I'm glad this is LAPORTE's contest and not mine... :D

I may have to see if I can code in a <gasp> smiley... You should make Bill Lowen your 'official' pick. Because Bill likes duck hunting and this is duck hunting weather!
