 I had just re-spooled my reel and tied a fluke with a hook and made it weed less so I could throw it in the front yard without getting hung up. It was late at night and was a full moon. As I had almost reeled it completely in an owl came from no where and took it. I screamed like a little boy that had the top of his ice cream cone fall off. My wife come out of the house because she thought something had happened to me and saw me flying a kite, she thought. I told her I had an Owl on the line and told her to get back. After she realized what was going on she was crying from laughter and couldn't get her to stop laughing at me. To this day she doesn't let that one go. That's one that didn't get away boys.

Me and Mike Moodt were at Cedar Creek on a windy day, and the chances of sticking a good fish were slim. Mike pulled into a small cut, and I threw a black colored Baby Sluggo next to a bush. The water opened up like a 5 gallon bucket and swallowed my bait. I had just stuck the biggest fish I had ever seen. I got her up to the side of the boat and I was trembling so bad. I had her head up in the air for what seemed to be 15 minutes. I yelled to Mike to get the net and then I just stared down at her mouth. I couldn’t do nothing but look at her. I could have reached down and lipped her but I couldn’t move. She jumped up in the air and threw the hook. I turned to mike and said, "Where’s the net?" He said, "What net, I don’t have a net." I asked him, "What were you doing." He said, "Looking at the fish like you were." I had what hunters call "Buck Fever" but I had "Big Bass Fever". Me and Mike both know it was 10 or 11lbs without a doubt. What a dumb ass I was to loose such a big fish.

Favorite Club Memory: The day John Curlee introduced me to the Cen-Tex Bass Hunters.  Since then my life has been enriched with more memories and friends than possible to list in this space.  

Funniest Fishing Memory:  The Top Six Team getting eaten alive by fleas in the cabin we rented right off the water on Toledo Bend.  We still have scars from all the bed bugs we became appetizers for.  The property owners sprayed and we’ve stayed there several times since.  The following year, Don Schuetze and his alleged accomplices loaded up my sheets with fake ants, spiders and all sorts of critters.  After respooling some gear, I jumped in the sack after the entire team had already turned in and blew out the lamps (or so I thought).  Within a nanosecond I was hovering 3 feet over the bed and the entire cabin was laughing their “not so funny” butts off!

My favorite memory fishing with the club so far is when we fished Amistad March '09. I won't get into happenings at the Motel 6 Kenny booked us (hookers, drug dealers, someone got shot, etc.....).  Don Shuetze was my partner and the second day of the tournament the wind was blowing about 35 mph gusting up to 45 mph. We went up into a big creek & I hooked into what turned out to be an almost 7 lb. bass. Don was standing next to me with the net trying to keep his balance while my dog ran back and forth in the boat doing his best to knock us overboard. Don was somehow able to net that fish standing on one leg while kicking at my dog yelling "git" with me screaming & the boat rocking in the 3' waves. Too bad I didn't pay to get in the big bass pot..........

Fishing at Amistad with my wife and son in October 2009. We caught about 70 fish in two days using both top waters and worms. Fish ranged in size from finger length to about 20 inches. It was nice to have my family on the water.
