            Hot, Hot, Hot is about all I can say. It was hot, but   many nice slabs setting there. I check them regularly
         an awesome day to be on the water and a beautiful       to make sure they were still there, even the Friday
         sunrise. I hope you could join us at the first tour-    before the tournament.  I have no idea where they

         nament of the 2021-2022 Magnolia Crappie Club on        went….but they were not there.  Anyway, I guess that

         Last year Jason and Parker tipped                                        to an hour; thanks again for your

         big fish; this year, it was down a                                          I can not leave this without saying
         little with only 9.90 #’s and a 1.50#                                    how sad to hear of our fellow angler
         big fish, but it was good enough to                                      Laura Haddock who passed away.

         take the prize.  Also, congratulations                                   May she forever be remembered.

         for taking the Big Fish of 1.94#.                                        peace, mercy, and grace cover you

            The season started off to a “Hot”                                     all, and may His light shine on you
         start….literally, I am not sure what the heat index                      in the days to come.  Laura will be

         was, but it was way higher than I expected. The lake    missed.
         was beautiful, and the fish was on fire.  The one I        In September, on to Grenada, maybe the weather
         spoke to talked about all the fish they caught either   will cool off a little, and the fish be hot.  Thanks to

         not a good picture of the lake; just a few weeks ago,   nament.  As we start this year off, let’s all join and
         the weight and size fish being caught would have        help raise the money to have the best year Magnolia
