I am leading the "Big Louie" contest, lol

"by any means possible"

Hmmm...does that include a crank telephone??

knowing some of the guys that entered the contest, I can say probably so

me personally, I love the action with a rod and reel

Pretty looking river you're on. Using live brim for bait?

its the Hatchie River located in West Tennessee, one of the few rivers in the USA that has not been touched by the Corps of Engineers, is on the Scenic River Act

yes, bream/pond perch is our main bait, size is what we call the 3 fingered ones. I did fish for a couple of days with the 10-16 ounce bream, got a few bites but could never get the fish to the surface
