1993 Fishing Reports

7/12/93 Chartered Striped Bass Fishing Trip
Seven men participated in the first-ever Striped Bass Charter Fishing Trip on Lake Buchanan on 7/12/93. Although only ten stripers were landed (four were keepers) the fellowship was great. Mark Weaver caught the largest fish – a 22 incher. Mark was also responsible for a question (that is quickly becoming infamous) that he addressed to fishing guide Ed Rutledge as he was urinating into a plastic drinking pitcher – “What do you call that little thing anyway?” Ed, mistaking Mark’s question, replied indignantly “Why…that’s my hummer.”
5/15/93 Catfish Fishing Trip
Nine men, two women, and nine children (20 participants) had a great time at the second semi-annual Catfish Fishing Trip at Rainbow Lake on 5/15/93. Ken Farmer and crew caught the most fish (24 1/2 pounds) and Ryan Rowley landed the largest (a 4 1/2 pounder).
