[bcklash]

I want to thank Nobass for running the show this year. The Harbor house wasn't completely ready and he talked them into letting us stay on houseboats saving me from having to walk up a long flight of stairs and thats not good with 2 bad knees!! He done a 1st class job.

Thank You Don




This is a 3.9 smallie that Don while putting on a clinic for my friend Danny the 1st night we were there. They were only out about 2 hours or less and Don caught 4 smallmouth that 3.9 being the biggest.

Again Thanks Don!!

Also Don and Mike kept some food on the table.

I also would like to give a big thanks to Don for hosting this event. Don you did a great job as host! You did good thing by accommodating us with two houseboats that were docked side by side. There is no doubt in my mind that by keeping us together like this made for some really good fellowship, where everyone was " happy, happy!" I also want to thank you for inviting Captain Gene over for an impromtu smallmouth Seninar on Thursday night. His words of advise sure did help me to get on the fish.

And Don the best part was that you were just whole lot of fun to be with. You were easy to talk to and we had a ton of great conversation together. I'm really looking forward to the next time!
