Hmmmm I'm still worried about Billy K and Johnny B showing up in drag to win it all. That ceratinly would give them a substantial head start. (and a good portion of the lake to themselves!)

We won't be getting there until around 5 PM so we won't be fishing during the daytime (have to give you all a head start in order to keep it fair), we should be there for the dinner and will then start chasing after dark.

I hear the water up north around Wilborn Creek is always clearer at this time of year ; )
