Default Billy Davis Memorial Fish Disposal

No......you won't have to dispose of your own fish.

Just got off the phone with Mike Hooe from the DNR Carp and Gar Funeral Home and the hole is waiting to be filled. Mike willsaid he will be there Sat nite to visit and Sunday morning for a proper fish interment. He hopes we can fillthe hole this year. I hope he has to call for another hole to be dug!!!

We talked about the weather asnd there is a chance of rain on Saturday but there are some nice days this week and he thinks the Bowfishing should be good. I asked him where to go and he said, "Follow Slim23".

Grandma Trotter (Billy Davis's Grandmother) said she is getting ready to start fixing the food for the BBQ. The Trotter and Davis family have been great in helping us with the food preperation. After talking with her this morning all I can say is, "you better come hungry, real hungry".

So? Did all 2,300ish fish fit in there? or did you need to enlist Ken and a shovel?

Chris, we filled the hole to the top. There were going to bring in a backhoe to enlarge the hole to get cover over the fish. They could not get ahold of Deer Predator and his shovel.

The 'hole'.


Check out that bigneat goldfish that Luke shot. Nifty color phase.





I kind of wanted to jump into it. It would be like one of those kid's ball filled pits like you see at Mcdonalds. Only slimier and with sharp teeth and fins. [:-] (christine on K's login)
