Pelicrap Lake Summary 

August 27, 2006 

And it was not all that bad, especially for the winner.  The guy that put the “man” in romance, the “I can” in Pelican, and the “homo” in homochromatic, none other than Guy Henkensiefken took home the gold on Pelican with a very nice bag weighing 19-11.  Yes, the same guy who just got back from Spamplona for the running of the pigs, courtesy of Herman’s sister, kicked our collective asses catching his first fish on a deep weed line and the next 14-15 all on inside weed lines.  The magic bait was a jig with a Chomper trailer, either brown or green with both equally effective.  Nicely done Ghee.  Second place and a mere three pounds behind Ghee was Nate Steinbauer with another good Pelican bag weighing 16-14.  Nate figured he caught about 30 keeper fish tossing  mostly brown craw-tubes with most numbers on the inside weed edge and the best size on the outside edge.  Go figure.  Third place, and fresh off his latest therapy session, was the good Henkensiefken, Adam.  Adam was just one seven pounder short of catching his old man but still had a good bag of 14-10.  He figured he only had eight keepers but they were the right size.  The trick for Adam was twofold as he used a combination of Jedi mind tricks and the aforementioned jig/Chomper combo in the Morningside area to get his fish.  Herman also tried the Jedi tricks but was unsuccessful due to the fact that you need to have a mental capacity greater than your quarry.  Nicely done men.  I am awe of your prowess but then, I’m easily awed.

Here’s one for you.  For every gallon of milk a cow produces, five gallons of blood must pass around her udder. 

And, speaking of ruminants, how about that scamp Dionysus, poking the eye out of Polyphemus (Lucky to his friends) and then escaping with his men tied to Ol’ One Eye’s sheep’s undersides as they went out to pasture. 

Big bass update – Assuming nobody bags a 5-8 on North Long, we will carry $240 into the 2007 season.  I’ll remind you all again next spring who has paid.  

These two friars are behind on their belfry payments so they open a small flower shop to help raise funds.  Since everyone likes to buy flowers from men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair.  He asked the good fathers to close down again and again but they refused.  The rival florist hired Hugh McTaggert, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to help “persuade” them to close.  Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store saying he’d be back if they didn’t close their store.  Terrified, they did close up proving once and for all, Hugh and only Hugh can prevent florist friars. 

All from here, men.  Best fishes to all.
