" How many did I score ? "

I was at work last night when Ky played Tn.
We would turn on the radios in the cars as they were coming down the line and turn it to the game .
I have to admit, I didn't know if anyone else was playing . The entire time we were listening to the game, the only name it seemed we were hearing was the name of JODIEEEEE MEEEEEKS !!

He made 15 of 22 baskets with 10 of those baskets being 3 pointers and he was 14 for 14 from the free throw line for a grand total of 54 points !!!!
That's the school record . The previous holder was Dan Issel back in 70. That is the same year I was born . He also broke Tony Delk's record for 3 pointers made .

I really wish I could have seen it, but it was just as fun listening to it .

The Best Way To End The Year .

If you have read any of my blogs, you would know that I love to fish . It really doesn't matter what time of the year it is, if there is water it will be fished .


Me and some buds from church started a new tradition last year. We decided to go fishing at the end of the year . In the wintertime I have decided that you don't catch more fish, but you do catch bigger fish . We left on the Monday before New Year's and fished until Tuesday evening at Laurel River Lake in London, Ky.
This was the fish I caught on Monday . It's a 15 inch,
2 and a half pound Spotted Bass or as we call them here in Ky, a Kentucky Bass .Now I know that doesn't sound huge,but when it comes to " Spots ", that's a big one . Their metabolism is slower than any other species of bass . This was the only fish caught on Monday on the account that we were only able to fish about 2 or 3 hours .

Tuesday was a great day for fishing . I caught this one about 10 am . This largemouth bass was 19 inches long and weighed 5 pounds . It is the biggest largemouth I've caught in probably 15 years . It was a beautiful fish .





Then 10 minutes later, I caught this Monster. The picture does not do this fish justice .It is a smallmouth that measured 20 inches and weighed 6 pounds . That is the biggest smallmouth I have ever caught .
Day wasn't over yet !!


I then caught this " smallie " at about 3 pm . It measured 20 inches and weighed in at 5 pounds and 2 ounces . Another great fish .

All in all, it was a great way to end the year that was 2008 !

Can't wait to see what 2009 holds for me .
Things that I am looking forward to this next year is the adoption for my 2 dear friends . Jeff and Holly Prosser are expecting their little girl from Ethiopia some time this year. Can't wait to meet her !
