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.

No time for stories tonight - TBF state championship is tomorrow, but a MASSIVE weigh in today on Mullett Lake with 20 plus limits on the boater side come in like flies to a dead seagull (not sure why I thought of that).

I think 20-8 to win the co-angler side. Full-time touring pro Trevor Jancasz brings in a huge 26-7 catch of smallies to the scale only to fall young Chad Pippen (I probably had his name wrong, but it's late and I'm tired :) ) who slams down 27-5!!!

Several 24's and a slough of 20+. I know at one point I thought I heard they were in the teens in boater places and still over 20 pounds (and none of them were me sad to stay - I 'released' about 11 pounds of bass and only brought in 7-11. Another odd one for me).

But the overall catch was huge with Chad getting the top two boater bass at 6-2 and 6-4 (it was 6 even before that). Out own rufus posted a ~22 something for another high finish, but gave up his biggest - a whopper 6-7 to his co-angler - then only to have another co-angler weigh in a real giant 7 pound smallie!!! That one came out of the back of ebond's boat (he had 24 something also).

I'm tired after just watching all those big bags. The bag line was a long one today. Tomorrow should still be good since the wind is supposed to go down below a roar.

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.

Those are some awsome weights. If only I could find a boater to sighn with. :(

Well, let's keep plugging away and find you one. The earlier you pay for each tournament, the more likely you will get to fish even without a boater. You don't have to have one to fish, but if you sign up near or after the priority cutoff date or especially after the deadline entry, you are matched up only as they get enough boaters.
