Mr. Louisville - and Dillon goes Night Fishing!

Ed took out his buddy Chris Roberts and Pilot Pool's nephew Dillon out for some night fishing.  See, Pilot Pool only sees crappie - he is not a bass fan.  Obviously, Dillon is the brains - we all know - catch and release.  Actually - Eddie has become quite the cleaner of fish - first love though are those big green fish.  As you can see - Dillon put it on them.  At least he got his picture taken.  Another night on the lake!

Katie Hipsher shows Dad and Ed how it's done!!

OK - we all know it has been just a little hot outside.  All the fishing that these guys have done has been @ night - which means they are NUTS!  I, myself, find night fishing just a little spooky.  These pictures that I am showing first are of a trip that Katie, Ed and Craig went on - then Katie and her dad dump Ed (awwww) and they went out alone.  That's ok - cause Katie shows them every time she goes that there is more of Grandma and Papaw in her cause guys - she can catch.   These pictures are over a couple of nights - yea Craig I know I'm slacking!  I'm retired after all.   Enjoy - see you on the Lake!

Big Ben Ends his trip with a BANG!

OK - you saw Ben a couple of days ago when Ed took him out night fishing.  Now you can see him on his own - catching this monster 7 lb. large mouth - all by himself.  Actually, Ben had just bought his boat from a friend - Clint is it true that boat had never seen so many big fish.  Well I say he was by himself; actually Melissa was his guide and you can see, she showed him the way.  Another patient, forgiving pretty girlfriend that endures her man and that awful fishing habit.  Not only did they start in the 100 degree heat; but they fished on into the night and you see Melissa finally got in on the action.  What a sweetheart she is!  Ben and Melissa went home happy - and are trying to book another room @ Kentucky Lake in the near future.

Craig is back on the Tournament Trail!!!

Craig had a busy Saturday and Sunday this week-end.  He fished a buddy tournament on Saturday in 100 degree heat with Harold Knight - then Sunday he fished an individual tournament - also in 100 degree temperatures.  Needless to say - he was hot (in more ways then one)!

Saturday Craig fished the Christmas for Kids Tournament going out of Kentucky Dam with Harold Knight of Knight & Hale Game Calls.  It had 57 boats in it - and "THEY WON" !  They fished on Barkley,  fishing main river ledges 6 - 12 foot deep.  They threw jigs and crank baits.  They weighed in 24 lb. 9 oz.  They were culling 4 pounders by 11 AM.  Caught 40 keepers total and didn't even feel the heat!  Way to go Harold and Craig!

On Sunday he fished the BFL going out of Kentucky Dam.  That was an individual tournament and Craig fished with 10 inch worms south of the 68 Bridge with Brandon Owens.  Craig weighed in 20 lbs. 13 oz. and tied for 7th.  His co-angler, Brandon weighed in 16 lbs. 5 oz.  Craig cashed another check "c h a c h i n g".  He now is signing autographs @ out place on Thursday evenings - 5 - 6.  Way to kick butt Craig - you now have all the Yank kicked out of you.  Craig would be happy to show his style - just go to his website and give him a call.  He will see you on the lake!

Big Ben Conquers the Beast on Kentucky Lake!

Eddie took Ben and Melissa out for some good ole night fishin on Kentucky Lake - and Ben put it to them.  The way I understand it, he handed out a certain amount of grief cause Ed wasn't keepin up.  Now come on Ben - you know he let you catch more lol.  It is so steaming hot down here and Ben and Melissa have been fishing in 100 degree weather and y'all know how hot it is.  But here are some photos of Ben and his fish!
