THANKS TO MAFF MEMBERS

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THE MAFF MEMBERS I FISHED WITH AND AGAINST!!!!I HAVE ONLY BEEN FISHING FOR 6 YEARS NOW AND LEARNED NEW TECHNIQUES AND BAITS FROM MANY OF THE GUYS HERE. CHUCK AND MARK TAUGHT ME ALOT ABOUT USING CERTAIN BAITS AND LINES AND ARE PROVEN WINNERS FIRST BALLOT HALL OF FAMERS!!!!!THESE GUYS ARE SO HUMBLE AND NEVER AFRAID TO SHARE THEIR SECRETS ALONG WITH SOME GOOD LAUGHS TOO. THATS THE TYPE OF SPIRIT WE ALL WANNA KEEP GOING HERE. KEEP THE BROTHERHOOD ALIVE IN MAFF AND KEEP TEACHING THE NEW GUYS HOW TO BETTER THEIR SKILLS (THE SAME AS THEY DID FOR ME).SO MANY GUYS HAVE THERE GO TO BAITS AS WELL AS I DO DON'T BE AFRAID TO SHARE WITH EACH OTHER. ATTITUDE AND FUN IS WHAT MAFF IS ALL ABOUT EVEN WHEN YOU LOSE YOU STILL HAD FUN COMPETING AGAINST THE TOP ANGLERS AND SOME TIMES YOU HAVE TO PAY RENT TO LEARN HA HA.IT'S THE LAUGHS FROM JOKING AROUND IN THE MORNING AND EVEN THE WEIGH INS WHICH BRINGS ME BACK FOR MORE ALONG WITH THE LEARNING OF HOW THEY DID IT. THANKS FOR ALL THE KNOWLEDGE AND HOPEFULLY I HELPED A FEW ALONG THE WAY TOO. EVERY YEAR GETS BETTER FOR ME WITH A 5LB 13OZ LARGE AS MY BEST SO FAR AND A 4LB 6OZ SMALLMOUTH . HOPEFULLY FROM WHAT I HAVE LEARNED I CAN GET A 6LBER THIS YEAR AND HOPEFULLY A 5LB SMALLIE.

(NO I'M NOT DYING OR RETIRING EITHER HA HA)

Thanks to all you guys for making this happen.If it wasn't for Johnny and Smoke I'd still be fishing with some club only doing 8 tournaments a season.That's just not enough fun for me.I love competing with the great guys in MAFF because they are all good sports and get along well.Well most of the time.See you guys in the spring.
