Week one is in the books, and it was a good one as far a league totals go. As a matter of fact, it was the biggest night this club has ever had on the Gull Chain in the history of record keeping. When it was all said and done, we had 216 points, which is by far the biggest number we've had. 190 points was the previous record set in 2016.
The water and air temps were in the mid 50's, the sky was overcast, and the wind was non-existent. Bass were shallow and hitting on just about anything from top water to wacky worms. Raps and other shallow running plugs caught fish too. The Walleye and Northern Pike seemed to be suspended at about 20 to 25 feet in water depths over 50 feet. Best way to get to them was a deep running crank bait, and the guys who located them, found some big fish. We had a Pike that was over 30", a Bass that was over 20", and a Walleye over 25". All of them maxed out the points for the individual species. For those of you that aren't in the league that might be reading this, rest assured all state regulations were followed as far as catch and release go, so don't be calling any tip line on us!
I personally think it's pretty brazen and totally inappropriate for a new team to be leading after week one. Just who do these upstart assholes think they are? The rest of us, including me and my net boy, have put blood sweat and tears into this league, and two guys named Jason and Brett can start out by putting 37 points on the board? So how do these guys come into this league and put up points like this? How did we old timers, especially Steve, allow this to happen? I don't have the answers, but what I do know is that it better not happen again next week, or the week after, or the week after that, or...well, you get my drift. But seriously, 37 points? If it happens again, they shall be forever known as team asshole.
I'm not even going to mention who came in second or third, because who gives a shit. If you want to know, you can read it yourself by looking at the point totals. Besides, if you come in second, all you are is the first loser. In the case of net boy and myself, we're the 9th loser, but that's better than being the 10th.
Our next event is June 6th from 6-9:30 on Pelican. We'll be using the Stewart's Bay Landing. Don't tell team asshole where that's located.
