"The Boss," Ed Lloyd "outfished all the "youngans" this year. He brought in this 4 lb 7 oz Largemouth Bass with quite an audience and a lot of laughs in September this summer.
Son, Greg, was the "runner up" this year with a 4 lb 3 oz. He also made the list with a 3 lb 2 oz so I would say he had a good year.
Son-in-law, David, scored
twice this summer with a
4 lb 2 oz and a 3 lb 4 oz Largemouth Bass.
They had fun fishing together and both pulling in really nice Bass!
Lynne was a close runner-up this year with her 4 lb 3 oz Smallmouth. A real beauty.
However, this year was dominated by the little kids!! When the 7, 8, 9,10, 11, and 12 year olds out-fish most adults, we absolutely think it is wonderful. We are so proud to list these great "little" fisherpeople who for the most part are the most avid and determined fisherpeople we know. We think everyone will enjoy the following pictures.
Benson, age 11, went fishing with his Dad and hauled in this
3 lb 1 oz Bass.
Elgin, the youngest fisherperson at age 7, can hardly hold up her
3 lb 3 oz Bass.
McKenna, age 11, is our most avid fisherperson. She really loved pulling in this 3 lb 12 oz Smallmouth Bass. She would stand on the dock 24 hours a day if her Mom and Dad would let her. Fishing is her "life." Her Mom says at school she even writes reports about fish!
Taylor, age 9, was the only member of his extended family to make "The List" this year except for his Grandpa. He sure was happy with his 3 lb 4 oz Bass.
Kellen, age 8, wasn't going to let this one get away even though he did release it after we took his picture. He actually made "the list" twice this summer. Once with
a 3 lb 5 oz Smallmouth aided by his sister, McKenna, and the other one was a 3 lb 1 oz Smallmouth caught all on his own. Happy boy.
Now back to the adults on "The List" this year!
Eric checked in with this 3 lb 13 oz Largemouth.
While his brother, Tom, brought in a 3 lb 1 oz Largemouth.
Mike is showing one of 2 of his Smallmouth that made the list this summer. He caught a 3 lb 10 oz and a 3 lb 3 oz.
Will is a constant on "The List" as he always manages is catch a good one. This year it is a 3 lb 7 oz Largemouth.
Grandson, Michael, loves fishing and he especially loves it when he makes "The List." This year it is with a 3 lb 7 oz Largemouth.
Mike made it this year twice. He caught a
3 lb 7 oz and a 3 lb oz Largemouth.
Mother and daughter are really proud of their twin 3 lb 6 oz Largemouth. We really hate to mention that Rebecca and Tammy out-fished Bill and Tyler. OOPS!
Pat was happy with this 3 lb 4 oz Smallmouth.
This year, Mike made up for all those years he was in the Air Force and couldn't fish. He brought in a 3 lb 2 oz and a 3 lb 1 oz Largemouth.
This was Mike and Ben's best day!
McKenna helped her brother Kellen catch this "monster."
This old baby scale gets quite a work out in the summer. Everyone knows that no matter what their high tech digital scale says, it is not recorded until Ed makes it official. Everyone watches with great anticipation to see if they make the cut off. "The List" was started sort of as a joke in 1988 and it has grown to enormous proportions! But it sure makes it fun to see our family and guests so excited to go fishing and bring in a big one. About 98% of the big fish caught are released.
