Really enjoyed spending some time with some of our newer members. Guys, we are glad to have you, and look forward to seeing you on a regular basis.

Thanks to all those who participated today, and thanks again to the good folks at Grizzly Jig and Crappie Angler Magazine, for today's prizes!!!

Now we can all start planning toward the 03/19 Tournament at Yellow Creek (Pickwick). Hope to see you all there!!!

Great. Couldn't make it. Brenda ain't doing good. She is off here medicines til Thursday because of pending surgery.

Tom, we sure did miss you and Brenda Thursday night and today. Please let Brenda know that we are thinking about her. Don't hesitate to let me know if y'all need anything.

Tom will keep Brenda in our prayers. Congrats to you all who fished and kingkrappie for the big fish and winning. Sounds like you boys know how to catch em!

Which one of you boys were in the burgandy Lowe and had to be towed in:)

The one that had to be towed in was actually the winner of the tournament. He was towed in by another club member that he had never met. This was the first club tournament that either one had fished. They didn't find out they were in the same club until they got back to the boat ramp and began talking. A big THANK YOU goes out to David Prine for being a good sportsman and helping out fellow anglers.

David Prine is the man!! I'm not sure what happened to my cranking battery yet, but I'd ran my trolling batteries so hard for so long that they wouldn't start the outboard, and in gale winds I had to keep the tm up on 100 just to steer every once in a while. The wind was blowin' us sideways through a massive stump field, I never even saw David coming, you could only scan for stumps in between waves so I was intently staring at the water, still over a mile out, and almost completely out of trolling motor juice, and David just appeared beside us and threw us a rope, he'd been watching the struggle and was working towards us to help. Relief is not the word, big white caps and no motor in Reelfoot stumps was a nightmare, David hauled us out of there and all the way to shore, never looking back just watching for stumps himself and trying not to pull us up on any. Turns out he was a new WTCC member and was fishing the tourney like me! It seems like you guys got a hell of a guy in your club in David, and I'm just gonna be a lot of trouble :) Other than that had a great time and look forward to seeing you guys again, Me and Chippy (Josh Chipman) are planning on coming to your next meeting if everything works out. I'm gonna post some of this about David on the main board, and might turn up a few other places :) thanks again to David and everybody that was at the tourney

Yes there are some good folks in the club and on crappie.com!!!Thumbs Up I have yet to meet anyone who has not been nice and willing to help each other out!!!! Glad he was there to help you out Josh, the Foot can be really bad with no motor and high wind.:( If ya'll have some pictures please post them.

I kind of thought that was you. We were the ones that put in right before you that morning in the camo Xpress with the Yamaha. We were the ones that passed by you as he was starting to tow you in. I remember telling my buddy "I hope they don' forget to raise the trolling motor". My buddy was the one that went over to try and help you load your boat while I tied mine down. Small world.
