LOL....did anyone else notice KVD is from Kalamazoo.....???? Louisiana Jeff Connella; Bentley Greg Hackney; Gonzales James Kennedy; Lacombe Kevin VanDam; Kalamazoo I thought he lived in Michigan....hummmmm...I am gonna call Randy tonight and ask if he moved....lol.

You would have to ask my MOM...she finds them all the time....lol

Wish I was gonna be there....have the St Clair open that weekend and the 1 on 1 Sunday. Better chance for me to come in with a limit...lol..on both days. Good luck to you. Very nice lakes up there.

This sounds good, but if you are stuck in the deep...try texas rigged outfits...also carolina worms, crank baits. Just have fun and experiment if not to sure what to throw...you might stumble upon something that will work for you and not your boater. I say this cause I have seen co-anglers come in with a limit and the boater zeroed....how did that happen? ....HUMMMMMMMM... 8-)

"Late again," the third-grade teacher said to little Sammy. "It ain't my fault," Miss Crabtree. "You can blame this on my Daddy. The reason I'm three hours late is Daddy sleeps naked!" Now Miss Crabtree had taught grammar school for thirty-some-odd years. So she asked little Sammy what he meant by that, despite her mounting fears. Full of grins and mischief, and in the flower of his youth, little Sammy and trouble were old friends, but he always told the truth. "You see, Miss Crabtree, at the ranch we got this here lowdown coyote. The last few nights he done et six hens and killed Ma's best milk goat. And last night, when Daddy heard a noise out in the chicken pen, he grabbed his gun and said to Ma, "That coyote's back again, I'm a gonna git him!'" 'Stay back, he yelled to all us kids!" He was naked as a jaybird, no boots, no pants, no shirt! To the hen house he crawled, just like an Injun on the snoop. Then he stuck that double barrel through the window of the coop. As he stared into the darkness, with coyotes on his mind, our old hound dog Zeke had done woke up and come sneakin' up behind Daddy. Then we all looked on plumb helpless, as old Zeke stuck that cold nose in Daddy's crack! "Miss Crabtree, we been cleanin' chickens since three o'clock this mornin'!"

When he says the livewell should work...not just fill up with water. The aerators must work too. You might want an anchore or a drift sock if the places you fish are big and the wind blows you around. Also the anchor lets people know they have to stay further away from you if it is down and your trolling motor is up. A good trolling motor. If you are fishing as a team..then only bring 5-7 rods each.

I once had a lot of ticks on me when I was playing softball. Well I removed most of them by using the hot end of a match, but that is the last time I try that trick on my nutty bar.....OUCH....lol : : 8-)

Slam the house door in her face...now she must have her meals catered....lol......I wish I had that kinda money......GEEZ :-/

And this is coming from the boater side. As a co-angler...I bring what little I need, and I always forget that newbies have not a clue as to how much stuff to bring with them. Lets put it this way on how much to bring as a co-angler. If you can't carry it all by yourself :o....then you have WAY TO MUCH crap with you. If it is cooler in the morning...wear your gear before you get to the boat. Also, that back compartment is not always that big, so you have to remember, you need room(in that back compartment) to store your extra clothing when the heat turns up later in the day.. OH YEAH...sometimes the boater will love you for this....always offer, and if accepted, to buy a bag or 2 of ice...even if it is not a hot day out.

See...I knew I missed something...trying to work and BR...might get me in trouble.....if I get caught...lmao ;D ;D

Muskegon Lake, White Lake, Lake Michigan out around the piers. South Haven, ALL OVER MAN :o Coldwater Lake...etc..etc..etc

And that was the baby... ;D ;D ...you should see the mamma... :o...lol

Well atleast you have fishing above videos...so that makes it ok....lol

UPDATE.....UPDATE

That was good...lol I too heard that they come and go...and have seen it, but that doesn't ever mean that a fish is not in the area...not in those waters....same area..new fish to me...lol

Day 1, just to have fun and learn something( I am not a fan of his) would be to follow IKE. Day 2, to learn the different styles between the two( I am a fan), I would follow KVD. From there, who ever is left in the mix. What a great opportunity to see them put their principles into action. One who screams at every fish, and the other who know what a 5lber looks like...lol...kidding aside. These are the two I would follow, in that order. I just think IKE would be fun to watch and learn from the first day. KVD to see if he really fishes the way he tells me to fish around our home lakes...lol.

The boater wont give up too much info, but will let you know how you will be fishing. They don't want you to give up any info they have to your buddies, cause they think all co-anglers talk. You might get someone that will not help you, but you will learn that first 20 minutes into the tournament. Chances of that happening are 1 in 200 per tournament. The boaters, unless bed fishing, will help you out as much as possible. I have heard horror stories about boaters, but also ignorant co-anglers. Be quick with the net, but don't stab at the fish. You do not want to be the co-angler they will talk about the rest of the season. Last year, my boater stabbed at my fish twice, lost one...my biggest one...would have been over 5. I didn't let it bother me since he was in his 70's. Sometimes you need to over look the little things. It did cost me a check though, but I was there to learn and have fun. And that old guy was a very good teacher and fun to talk to.

Nice fish...so what were the GPS points?....lol Great job.

You only want about 3-5 rods with you. Bring a soft pack style fishing box, using the 3500 plano boxes. Fill the sides and front with your soft plastics. Bring sunglasses, pliers, scissors, suntan lotion(spf 45 or higher). Bring your rain gear, and proper clothes for the weather conditions(hot/cold). Hat, snack foods or something light to bring with you. Water, or gatorade. Just try not to over do it with weight. Remember you have to lug it around until your boater picks you up. Sign up with a boater to gaurantee your entree into the event. More times they are looking to find boaters, cause to many Co-anglers. So sign up early too if not signed up with a boater. Did I leave anything out? Oh yeah, they have a meeting the night before. This is where you meet your boater. They will inform you of how you will be fishing, and what time to meet at the ramp, unless they are staying at the same hotel you are in. My rule of thumb for giving the boater gas money. $20-30 to go for a ride. Remember...they were going there with or without anyways. If you catch some fish....$30-40. If you get paid....$40-45. If in the top 5....$50(same with big bass). I call it my boater incentive program....lol If you are not that good...ask questions...most will help you out. If you bring a laptop with internet access you can look up your boater to see how well they have done in the past.....doesn't mean anything...but you will learn if first time boater over experienced boater...know what I mean?

Yeah, that sounds about right...never drank water in the river though...did in Erie. Boater hit a nice wave...lol

There is a spot that they tell us for the BFL that is a no wake....it isnt even marked, but it is suppose to be 200 yrds(?) on both sides of one of the bridges.....just can't remember which one.

We have a lot of teams like that.....even the split too.....lol.. ;D ;D

I hope he does jail time...just to add to the shame he will have for the rest of his life.
