How 'bout those GIANTS! Best they've played in years…yeesh. The game after that was even worse. If those are two of the best QBs in the world, I'm a ham sammich.
1. Don't drive with Ehrler!

Watching TV, one hand out the window – was also chewing gum and pounding out the kick drum parts for Hot for Teacher with his feet. #noseatbelt
Nothing on the FLW website but from a thread on the TFF:
> During takeoff at the FLW tournament this weekend on Rayburn two guys were thrown out of the boat. We launched from Umphreys and a few of the boats cut thru instead of going around and when everyone else come around the point they almost collided.
> At the last second the guy cut the steering wheel really hard and with all the chop from the boats it caused his to do a 180. Both men were thrown completely out. We stopped to check on them and make sure they got back in their boat. The guys that cut thru never stopped.
This from another post in that thread:
> …the co-angler from the other boat asked his boater "are you going to turn around" to which his boater replied "I can see them floating, they're ok."
Whoa. If true, that dude needs to get a heart operation like now. Like this fella, version of the Tin Man from Oz:
…from the St. Clair/Erie Open. Love these kinda shots.

Tip of the Day
> Anytime I see the early morning surface water temperature drop about 10 degrees, I know it’s game on. In Michigan, that might mean it goes from the mid-70s where it’s at now into the 60s. In Texas, it may be from the upper 80s into the 70s.
> The extended forecast on the Weather Channel helps me predict when it likely will happen. Granted, the forecasts aren’t always accurate but they do give you a sense of what’s coming your way.
> I don’t get concerned about a day or two fluctuation, but if I notice the night time and day time temperatures are dropping steadily, I know that fish patterns may be changing, too.
> If extended cold fronts that include northern winds and falling nighttime temperatures are in the making, I know it will drive water temperatures down. On impoundments, that sends shad away from the main lake and into the creeks. On northern lakes without shad, the cooler water pushes bluegills closer to the weed edges and flats. The bass will be right behind them.
Quote of the Day
Make sure you have a lot of cash and don't get too attached to it.
– Hahaha! Sound advice from a westernbass.com forum post to a poster who wants to know what it takes to fish the bigger trails.
It's like poker, man. You look around and don't see a sucker, guess who it is!
