The wife, kiddos and fishing partner attended the LCI awards banquet located at the Sheraton in Burlington tonight The banquet was very well run and had a lot to offer. There were a few free offerings like free appetizer coupons for Texas roadhouse, beef jerky and swag from the local sponsors. Each of my kiddos got a fishing pole for free. they had several door prizes, a 50/50 and a sonar raffle. They drew a name for an Alaska fishing trip as well. T-shirts from this year's event were for sale for 5 bucks. This is what I got for 5th in the Largemouth Category... They called each individual angler up and took pictures...I brought my kiddos on stage with me, so that made it real special There were a few folks there who raked in thousands in prize money... the whole thing wrapped up in 2 hours 10 minutes...and we went to Al French Fries for dinner First dollars earned doing something I love...Can't get any better than that Thanks guys and hope to hear from you soon

Thanks everyone for the kind words...It means a lot. I plan on getting the kiddos into the mix next LCI...they saw the fish and the trophy and now they are like Daddy, how do I get one of those? ?LOL! I am purchasing a Humminbird Helix 7 SI G2N with the cash and I am signed up for the LCI Bass open 3 Sep 17 out of Malletts bay. If anyone has any experience fishing mallets, (and surrounding area) I'd be glad to hear what you have to say... Going to try to get out tomorrow and test the new hydrofoil, if I run into anything Green, i'll post.

The kids can also get a really nice certificate, a Trophy Angler Award, from the VTF&W Dept, for catches that qualify. Check out the Master Angler page on the VTF&W website. It's fun, and you get to see some nice catches.

Congrats on a job well done at the LCI! I usually fish the LCI Bass open out of Malletts but not sure if I will be there this year, so I do have some experience in Mallets but non that good besides the community hole at the opening to the main lake. I have seen some of the best looking weed beds in Mallets but I can never get anything big out of there. That said I don't spend to much time in there unless the wind keeps me from venturing out.I know there are some people that really like to fish in there and do good but I'm not one of them. Good luck and maybe I will see you there.
