It is with great humility and sincerity that I write this post. As we all know, Mr. Wiskers is on the boat and because of his sacrifice, we are having the greatest crappie season ever. You see, the crappie spawn is in direct correlation with Terry’s schedule and I really hate that for him. Yes, its true that there has never been as good a season as we are having now (Its so good that even cajunfryer could catch his limit, that is if he can keep his boat from washing up on the bank all the time) but it is all due to the little round man working his heart out away from home and for this, I am deeply grateful. Oh, but it hasn’t been easy on us here Wiskers. Let me list some of the hardships we are going thru-

1. There are buzzards setting on my garage because the boat smells so bad of fish.
2. My livewells aren’t working properly because of all the scales and fins.
3. The place were Buffalo, Badbrad, McEnroe, Kytitelok and myself clean fish has had to bring in a dredge to get all the carcasses out.
4. Buffalo has lost 40 pounds because he ain’t got time to eat. The fish keep him so busy!
5. Badbrad had to put a second mortgage on his house to buy freezer bags.
6. McEnroe is having to wear a hat (he never wears a hat cause he don’t want to mess up his hair) because the weather is so nice, his head is sunburned.
7. We all have Bandaids on our thumbs because of lippin’ so many crappie.
8. Rapala had to put on a second shift just to keep us in fillet knife blades.

But enough about our misfortunes, we are here to thank the one who has made this possible. No, its not KDFW for their management of the lake or Ranger boats or Bobby Garland jigs or Zebco Reels or even Sam Heaton for making the best jiggin pole out there. No, it’s all due to you my little bearded buddy, for taking one for the team. For having the guts to leave just when history is being made. For manning up and hittin the river while the rest of us drag ourselves to the lake so we don't waste this oppurtunity. Sure it will be over by the time you get home but that don’t bother a fishing humanitarian like yourself!

So folks, give a big shout out to the man who has made this all possible!!!
WISKERS-YOU DA MAN!!!
Peace out…I’m going fishin!!
