Mini-rally attendees

[Mike Daleo]

Again, tough conditions at Dale Hollow proving that we have no wimps in this forum. Thanks for coming and fishing. For those who stayed on the island, thanks for taking care of the facilities. Hope everyone got home safe and none of you caught pnuemonia on the water

[Joe Skeeter]

Thanks Mike and Buck had a great time down there. Like you said the weather could have been better but that FnF fish I caught made it worth while. And I promise that was the 1st time I played that card game.

[Boss445]

Thanks for everything you and Buck do, to have such a good mini-rally

[Sticks11]

Shoot I didn't even catch a fish but still had a great time. I suck, got to watch Jeff catch a 4 lb spot though. He'll have pics later this week. And who spiked my drink Friday night, that wasn't very funny. Thanks again for letting us use the Island Buck and thanks again Mike for coordinating it.

Thank you fellas for taking care of the island....again.
Great to meet the folks I had never met. One of them (Joe) even hustled me at cards (Joe) BUT shared some very nice spirits with me.

Hope next time some folks like Jamie and Daniel can work it out to hang out a little with us on the island and some that have never been able to make it can come.

to the winners
to Jeff on the 4# spot...thats a great spot anywhere.
to Doc for big fish with the 21 1/4 inch smallie...nice fish...Doc's caught heavier fish before though.
to Mike on the plaques...they looked real good.

FYI...Doc donated his winnings for big fish. That will pay for one kid for a whole week this summer brother.

Buck is not fishing again until he has a new rainsuit and I vote we buy steaks or something next time....there was some interest shown in cooking out together and I am all for eating.

Buck

[Joe Skeeter]

I' right there with all you said Buck. But hustling at cards I think it was beginners luck. And next time I agree steaks would be a good choice.

[Mike Daleo]

Well, I am all for cooking out

I announced at the dock that Doc and Hambone won $90 for Big Bass, it was actually $180. Way to go guys donating that money back to the island That shows what kind of people we have in our group!

Mental note, when you stop drinking beer and switch to whiskey there are two things to remember. #1-Slow the &%*# down, and #2 DO NOT let Eric pour you ANY drinks.

I'd love to see a pic of that big spot. Let's have her Jeff.

[Joe Skeeter]

Mike I think your brakes failed Friday night

[Pat Powell]

Beer and whiskey.........that ain't a good mixture anytime!!

[Rippinlip]

That is because I banged the pot too late.

Buck

[uk2thdoc]

The banging the pot thing...not my favorite moment of our trips. You have to experience it to understand.

Buck - Get me the rest of the info, so I can put the winnings in the mail to Trooper Sutton please. I said publicly that if any money was won out of my boat it would get donated to the island and I meant it. I think its the least we can do for the KSP since they let us use their island free and the money will go toward a great cause. It just might make some kid's summer to get to stay on that island this year and that would be pretty cool.

By the way - Friday night was the most "interesting" I've ever seen Daleo and he was pure entertainment. I vote that Scroggins is elected IN/KY/OH official bartender because the way he loaded up Daleo was awesome.

Doc

[bassRN]

I may just have to stay at the island next time, sure would have beat driving through the blizzard conditions on the plateau!! That and the steaks sound pretty tempting!!

[Mike Daleo]

Big Fish

[Joe Skeeter]

Nice fish Doc but I don't see your contraption, did you upgrade?

[JC25]

Guys, had a great time... I will definitely bring some steaks to cook next time. We will definitely do it right next time.

I will get that picture up as soon as I get it developed(today). The digital camera got wet so we took a back up pic on the disposable.

All and all a good weekend, I saw a 6lb 13oz largemouth at the dock, i caught the biggest spot I ever caught and doc had a beautiful smallmouth for big fish. JSchmidt and his partner showed they were the kings of the Hollow bringing in a limit of spots and smallies! congratulations guys!

Jeff

[Heffer11]

Sounds like you guys made it a good time despite the bad weather. I hope I can make the next one. I am also up for good eating.

[Rippinlip]

Doc.

Buck

[A.J.]

I'm in for the good eats at the next one.
