Today’s Top 3
1. Here’s the Clear Lake giant!
Heard about the 13.12 caught by Dan Sansome from Clear Lake, CA a week or so ago, couldn’t find a pic. Just found one. That is a hawg, son!
What Brandon Palaniuk’s newest sponsor does. Reminds me of “potted meat product,” what Vie-enny snausages were called back in the day. Or something like that.
3. Yes, I’m planning on giving 10 percent of my winnings.
– Ray Welch, fisherman who skipped out (with permission!) on an annual leadership conference at his Bossier City, LA church recently to fish in a derby. Yep, he and partner Kraig Chapman won it. And pattern deets will be in BassGold by the end of the week….

Tip of the Day
You have to throw away the excess of what you learned from others.
– Miles “Sonar” Burghoff on how to be a good fisherman. Also said:
> “Most important, in my opinion, is you have to learn how to be yourself.”
> “Everybody’s different – it’s just like art. If you question yourself, you’ll never be able to make the intuitive decisions necessary on the water.”

Quote of the Day
Te’o caught a minnow, told his friends it was a largemouth bass and before he knew it he had a shark in the boat.

Shot of the Day
Guess the weight of this bass, caught out of a TX pond…and never weighed. The guy who caught it thinks it’s 15. Anyone?
