No, it was on a red with red flake brush hog. I fished the upper clearer lake due to Mr Kevins very large fish he caught last year. I went there only to through a swim bait until the sun came up. It was a disaster due to rat nests. The worst I have ever had. I had to totally cut out a full spool of 25lb maxima big game on my big swim bait rod and respool it. Then after about 12 casts with a freshly spooled 12 lb cranking rod, I got another major backlash. Of cource I triied like hell to undo them without cutting any line and I waisted alot of safe light casting time. When the sun finally came up I realised how Gin clear that water was. While paddling back in I managed to hook a keeper on a blade only to lose it at my tube. Oh well, I was on the water at the mudd lake by around 9:00.
I through every thing and I caught a dink or two and was peppered by them while worming. Then at around 1:30 I flipped into a tree that was probably hammered and as luck would have it, SLAMMMO WAMMO, 5+ pounds of fish was triing to eat my bait. After that, nothing, not even a nibble. I had a blast and was able to get back into the swing of things. There where only 14 of us which was kinda nice. We where spread out and not ontop of each other like we usually are. I missed having you up there, hope to see you at Sprung Leak.

P.S. Todd, I found the original sponcer sheets for the Make A Wish tourney. If any one needs some please contact Rich Caro.
