Devils Horse is a cowboys fan!

Hey Devils Horse, I thought that would get your attention.

I was touching base with you about our fishing/football/and hat wearing wager we had. Just to refresh your memory - if Dallas goes 10-6 or better, you owe me a fishing trip on Barren and you wear a cowboys hat. Well, they have 4 games left in the regular season and are two wins away from me being victorious. Or we could even "up" it at this point.

But to fishing related news, have you been to Barren Lately? I was just curious how the bite was, hoping to fish there soon, but I am in the process of moving a little North to the Mumfordville, Bonnieville area so it may be next year before I'm on the water.

Fishing was good yesterday we had our year end classic.

I'll let Devils Horse tell you his side, but the guy that won had almost 20lbs with 6 fish, and I came in second with 13.11 with 5 fish. I had big fish at 5.3lbs

I talked to another guy that fished and he said his best five went over 20lbs, he was in another tournament.

Bet? What bet? Oh yeah, now I remember. How the heck did I get rooked into betting against a man of the cloth? What was I thinking? Me and my big mouth. Or in this case fat fingers. The only good thing about the cowpies are their cheerleaders. I'll be looking forward to going fishing one way or the other Pastorbass, although I didn't say what would happen to that hat after I have to wear it. I gotta wipe the scum line off the boat with something.

As Mr. Bean mentioned we had our club fish off yesterday at Barren. The weather was bitterly cold, but the fishing was good. This is the time of year on Barren when you don't necessarily get as many bites, but the ones you get are some good uns. The 7 of us who were qualified for the classic weighed in 70 lbs of fish, and the guy who won had almost 20lbs. Jason dashed my hopes of getting big fish by bringing up a big nasty fat sow over 5lbs in his bag of fish and took big fish and second place money.

I did have a good time rasslin in a smallie almost 4 lbs and had a couple of largemouth to go with her, but my 6 lbs 10 oz wasn't even close. I finished 6th of 7. It was one of those days when I couldn't stay hooked up. Prolly missed 5 or 6, and you can't be missing bites when you're fishing against that bunch if you want a chance to win. I have a standing $5 bet with the guy who won, and for once I didn't soak the cash in garlic dye or throw it in his bag of fish, just slapped him on the back and handed it over. Everything in the boy's sack was over 3 lbs, I just couldn't bring myself to abuse his money this time.

Another year in the books for the SOKY Bassmasters, and I sure did enjoy it. What a bunch of good people.

Hey Jason, I just sent you an email about the co-angler situation, I'm still interested!

DH, I had forgot the specifics of the bet so I went back and searched it. It said that you have to wear a Dallas Hat every Sunday during football season for life :)

Sounds like I need to get to Barren! I just need to get on the water period.
