WEST BRANCH 100 PERCENT

NORTHERN OPEN ANGLERS ASSOCIATION WEST BRANCH

MAY 12th,2007

A burr chilly morning, with a spring soon to have sprung. Giant toad females opening their mouths waiting to get hung. North winds blew strong for a traditional NOAA weigh, wait until Berlin, were predicting tornadoes for that day! Our motto still stands and has not failed "smile...and think big bass" must be hailed.
