I wanted to congratulate Mike Gress, great pic in Bassmaster! That's one nice BASS!!!

Bryan- Thanks for calling Mike's Big Bass to our attention. My Bassmaster hasn't reached me yet. (Get's forwarded via USPS from CT)

Mike Gress: Congratulations on your outstanding catch! Bassin'USA salutes you.

Any BASS over ten is very worthy of praise, up here, a ten pounder would almost get you a pile of cash (if you were using the right hooks), but a ten anywhere is good. I would settle for being able to launch the boat right about now. I guess I could launch it, but it makes a really ugly thud when it hits the ICE...LOL.
