The Long "HOT" Summer - Featuring Craig Hipsher & Eddie Evans

I will confess.  I am so behind on news and pictures I am just hoping Craig fires me.  I mean doesn't fire me.  Don't think just because it's been 100 + in the shade that these guys haven't been fishing.  Craig and Harold Knight have done some serious fishing.  Also cousin Ryan was in to see Craig and you will see his picture in here.  I have gotten so many pictures from Craig and he usually gives me info - weight of fish mainly - he has also been having great luck at the tournaments he has fished.  He won a Tuesday night with daughter Katie and Harold and Craig has placed @ least 5th or better in I think 4 tounaments.  Eddie on the other hand has been hosting buckeye fishermen.  Ben and Bart were down for a long week-end and then low and behold in came Jeff Lynch, father-in-law Carl and that master fisherman Clint Lovely (that's what ya get Ben - don't mess with Mama!)  What you are now going to see are random pix of what they have caught the first part of August.  I hope you enjoy the photos and I will try to tag when I know who they are - See you on the Lake!

Marvin Tomes - Louisville KY

Look - he almost smiled!

This would be Clint Lovely (name not description)

I know y'all think this picture thing is not gonna end - but I have more and here goes!!!

1. This is Ryan Hipsher - I believe his main lake is Ceasar's Creek - bless his heart!

I think I am gonna rename Craig - he is Mike Fink - King of the River (or lake)!!

Craig has been on a Mission!

Keeping up with Craig wears me out!  He has won a tournament with his daughter Katie - I think they weighed in 24 + pounds.  You know who caught those fish.  He also placed 5th in a tournament with Harold Knight of Knight and Hale Game Calls.  I was told several times how much they weighed in but I can't remember - I know it was over 23 pounds.  I am telling you - if I hear one more fish story I am going back to Ohio - ok maybe not but this night fishing has got me all mixed up - don't know day from night.  Oh well here are Craig's pictures.  They are probably not in order - but you get the idea.  See you on the Lake!

Up to date on Eddie!

OK - I guess I need a raise - I have been horrible about posting these pictures and Eddie and Craig have threatened to fire me so I am getting them caught up now.  All night fishing - and they both have been on some major fish.  Enjoy!

July 20 - the trip continues!

Craig and Eddie went out for a couple of hours.  They got on fish - now they have to get their days and nights straightened out!  Craig has a tournament with Harold Knight of Knight and Hale Game Calls.    See you on the Lake!  Thanks Brandon Hunter for the spinner baits!

The Dogs do some Night Fishing!

Craig and Eddie has been doing some serious night fishing lately.  Katie has been manning the flashlight.  Boy what a lucky girl she is!  They have been catching some big smallmouth and largemouth bass.  I know that it's hard to believe - but these guys can really fish.  Here are a few of the pictures - you will have to call them and book a night trip; it has been KICKIN!  See you on the lake!

There has been some serious Night Fishing Goin On!!

Craig has not spent many hours off the water lately.  However 90% of it has been @ night.  The next few pictures that I am going to post were caught by Craig and the guys he took out.  I'll try to get their names right but we are trying something new and we will see how it works.  As usual I have a ton so here goes.  And remember both Ed and Craig will see you on the lake!

 

Night Fishing - when temperatures are 100 degrees in the Shade

The month of July has been too hot to handle. Not much fishing in the day - but the night fishing brings up the big girls. The first pictures on here are Craig's guide trip with Greg Smith's Dad. He is pictured with a 6 lb. largemouth; and they caught 40 bass total between 9 PM and 3 AM. Also here is a picture of some major yellows that Craig got into. That was daylight. Eddie had his oldest daughter, Nikki down with her son Chase and daughter Karaline. Nikki makes sure PawPaw gets major boat time. These are random pictures from the last week - they had a ball and I think they are coming back. See you on the Lake!

Here is Eddie's crew - 8 days of catching everything but a cold - ENJOY!

OK enough - you know they had a good time.
