NEW BIG FISH ENTRY FEE
Starting with the upcoming Otay tournament, there is a new Big Fish entry fee. At the March meeting,
the membership voted on increasing the big fish entry fee to $5.00 per
person (it was $5.00 per boat). Each person is responsible for paying
their own entry fee (non-boater does NOT pay boaters entry fee). Also,
everyone is automatically in the big fish pool unless he or she opts out of
the pool PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING of the tournament. The beginning of
the tournament is considered to be when the first SDBM boat hits the
water for in town tournaments. For out of town tournaments,
prior to the first name being called to take off each day.
THANKS TO MIKE LONG, OUR GUEST SPEAKER
AT THE MARCH MEETING
Mike Long's hour long talk at the March
meeting was both entertaining a informative. He covered many topics,
including his ideas on the relationship between large female bass and
the smaller male bass during the spawning season (good thing that that
behavior didn't carry over to mammals!) He will return later this year
to give an in depth talk on swimbaits.
BASSMASTERS OF THE YEAR
Congratulations to Lee Chapman and Donalea Brant for
becoming the latest Bassmasters of the Year. This award is the highest
honor the San Diego Bassmasters can bestow to an individual member. It
is given for outstanding service to the club. Individuals like these
are the reason that our club is the
outstanding organization that it is.

JOKE OF THE MOMENT
HOW TO WIN A
COURT CASE
A defendant in a lawsuit involving large sums of money was talking to his
lawyer. "If I lose this case, I'll be ruined." "It's in the
judge's hands now," said the lawyer. "Would it help if I sent the
judge a box of cigars?" "Oh no! This judge is a stickler or
ethical behavior. A stunt like that would prejudice him against you. He
might even hold you in contempt of court. In fact, you shouldn't even smile
at the judge." Within the course of time, the judge rendered a decision
in favor of the defendant. As the defendant left the courthouse, he said to
his lawyer, "Thanks for the tip about the cigars. It worked!"
"I'm sure we would have lost the case if you'd sent them."
"But, I did send them." "What? You did?" said the
lawyer, incredulously. "Yes. That's how we won the case." "I
don't understand," said the lawyer. "It's easy. I sent the cigars
to the judge, but enclosed the plaintiff's business card."
