Not quite accurate, was a 4 pounder caught at Persimmon Hill this past spring.

This is my suggestion: appoint 5 FJ members not made up of present leaders except DD to act as a tournament schedule committee. This committee selects a chairman. This committee will have the responsibility of coming up with the "BEST" workable schedule possible. By doing this, the committee will take into consideration every factor known . These factors will be and not limited to other organizations schedules, holidays and special family days, pre-spawn, spawn and post-spawn, weights of past tournaments. After a good workable schedule is completed, it is presented to the present leaders for their approval.

Now as far as "not" electing no present leaders again, that ain't smart. What would be a good idea is to let Wannabe continue as "Head Grand Buba" for 1 more year. Select a "Head Grand Buba in waiting" that will take over for WB after the 2012 season. Select a "tournament director" that will assist SatDoc at the weigh-in and help keep things moving. The TD will also keep the weigh-in board up to date so folks know who's caught what. Torch will be the "head record keeper" so WB can get the money straight. DD will be responsible for short fish and help anyone that needs help. I know, I know, some are beyond help. This is just my thoughts.

And just who said thet I was still gonna be in charge of the weigh ins, May be like WB and run away from it all.

Yep, that was the same day that Torch sunk the Terrova.

What you gonna do then, sit over in the corner and shaddup? I don't think so. You might as well be runnin the scales.

Satdoc=wieghmaster emetrius.

Caught a 4.1 in 2007 at Water Valley, Caught a 4.2 in Grenada in 1982. The Corps lakes have big fish we all know it. I have yet to see a weigh in at Barnett even during the spawn that has tipped the scales for more than 14 lbs. I am for leaving it on the schedule to help out the southern boys but if Barnett was the only crappie lake I could fish I would commit suicide.
