Awesome pics, guys.

I agree with B-ski.

Bob, ewest, and Sue all look great! I better start running...

Auction Pics

Auction Goodies


More Goodies


Even more


Yet some more


Two of the 5 photos by Lusk, printed with a painting apparatus as I understand it. They looked pretty neat.


The piece de resistance of the Auction, a priceless (it says so, right on the label) 2009 Model Bruce Condello Signature Model Pink Cowboy hat.


The furious bidding history on the Condello hat. This sought after item was finally obtained by 2catmom for the princely sum of $25 U.S. Thanks for your donation, Linda.

Outdoor Demonstrations

Shawn Banks electrofishing.


Electrofishing results (2 HBG IIRC).


Herman brothers seining.


It was Justin's turn to do the deep work. There were a lot of big rocks that the net had to be moved past by hand. He can hold his breath for a REALLY long time.


Chris Steelman helps pull the net in (a 100'x8' seine). On his right, in sunglasses and no hat, Scott Tucker of Australia.


Getting close to completion.


Seining results: Fingerling and small adult LMB and a turtle.


Channel Cat from the seine haul.


More seining results, some LES and the turtle.


Steelman's Mini Fike net static display:


Pulling in a Mini Fike net that was in the pond a while.


Chris empties the Mini Fike net. On the right, Norman French (hat) and Todd Overton (sunglasses) look on.


Mini Fike net results: another LES.


Porcupine fish attractor display. On the right, Rainman (in blue) and Greg Grimes.


Bojo Bug Light.


Matt Morgan of Aquatic Environmental Services sections otoliths to age fish. In the foreground, Chad Fikes (with sunglasses) and DJT look on.


Lavage sampling of fish stomach contents.


In the background, Bill Cody samples plankton with a net and a bottle. In the foreground, Shawn Banks listens to Dave Davidson.


Bruce Condello caught his very first Longear Sunfish (LES) during his fishing demo. Then, his second LES. Later on, about his 40th one. On the left in the red hat is pro bassfisherman Stacey King, who came to do some Q&A with all interested parties.

Miscellaneous

Bill Cody prepares to wow the crowd with his talk on hybrid water lilies. We called Bill back for three encores. At Lusk's request, he concluded by singing the entire score from Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore. Only a case of acute laryngitis kept him from continuing on with The Pirates of Penzance.


Dave Davidson's Texas jumping worms.


Bruce Condello fishes for the elusive pool shark. JHAP stands by, ready to document it all for "In Search Of" (in case it ever returns to the airways). Bottom right, rmedgar.


Bruce Condello, Todd Overton, and Walt Overton. Behind Bruce's raised elbow is DJT.

Ditto on that Shawn!!

I'm loving seeing the pictures of all the outddoor activities....I never had the chance to see much of the demonstrations from the attendee side. Glad everyone enjoyed it!

I'm really disappointed I didn't get to meet you Dwight. \:\(

On the other hand with all the ribbing I've given you about your bass it may have been a good thing for me. \:o

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

I think Nate snagged a supermodel as well. Way to go, Nate!

Thursday at the ice-breaker and later, Gail wondered if she should have stayed home with Buck and Tan.

Friday she started to understand that there was something going on that was far more than just a party. Oddly, she thought Sunil and Dave Davidson are very cute.

Saturday Gail said to me, “I didn’t understand how big this really is.” Quiet waters run deep, she gets it!

JHAP doesn't seem like a guy that could manipulate offshore tax shelters (a disguise).

It's unfortunate this is the lone picture of me - I'm sure I was doing plenty of cool stuff all weekend. I can't verify this, but Sturgeon wrestling comes to mind, for some reason...albeit vaguely.

I had entrusted my daughters with the camera duties. Unfortunately, they found activities more exciting than ponds to participate in. They CAN'T be my kids!!!!!
