Dannie Golden and I were fishing on Ray Roberts yesterday morning when he snagged something. Drug it up to the boat and low and behold an old Zebco rod and reel. He actually caught it by one of the rod eyes! What are the chances of that! It was encrusted with zebra mussels everywhere. I had never seen a zebra mussel up close so I snapped a few photos to share with others that might also be curious.

It was a great morning. Nothing big, but Dannie had us on fish almost all morning long. He is going under the knife really soon for his elbow he said.

Our bass club and another one (can't remember there name)help the corp of engineers a few years ago after the lake was up high for 30 or so days clean up the camp sites at isle debois park and they were dead every where in the trees and picnic tables and things.
