At the M.S.B.A.'s first plug night thier was a raffle that was part of the festivities. Bassmaster has just finished giving his lecture on how he makes his fine pluggage when the raffle started. The first prize was an enormous assortment of plugs. The second prize was a pencil popper turned by bigfish and painted by
fishingfreak in a flag motif. Third was I don't remember. They called third prize first and then second prize. I won second prize the beautifully done flag painted pencil popper, which I hold dear to my heart. When I was walking to the podium area to get the plug Manzi put his arm around me and hit on me. I felt violated. He would have done just about anything to get that plug from me. But I didn't "give it up" to him. I retained my dignity, barely. After all, in front of all those people..........
Really the talk Dave gave and the tremendous amount of info he imparted was great and we were lucky to have him there.
Raven, i may have missed your explanation, but exactly how did you come by your ill health and all the injuries?
