John, I'm glad you and your family had a great time. I agree, the view was second to none and the fact that there were no jet skis, tubers and water skiers made it that much better. This event is all about getting together with our crappie fishing friends for a weekend of fishing, laughing and eating. If we happen to go home with a few prizes, so much the better. If not, that's OK too.

Seeing the grin on Alivias face when she got her new fishing rod got me a little choked up. Hopefully , some day, I'll be bringing my grand daughter to the event and she'll get a new, lime green crappie rod. She might even steal the show the way "Vanna" did with her little card drawing dance she did. Too funny!
