Joe McGill (2nd bass picture above) won $55 for 3rd Place with a 17.5" Large Mouth Bass. $40 went to Ippi's restocking fish fund, so she can restock Sluice with more fish.

Everyone had a great time; some perch were also caught. All were good about tolerating the low temperature. Bill (last picture) shows why you should NEVER put your hand near the blades of a snowblower; even if it is shut off!
