Norm M Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 The Illinois smallmouth Alliance is in the Kankakee Daily Journal with regards to the military kids fishing event. Kudos to Mike Clifford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Clifford Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 You've got plenty of press there yourself, Creek. Norm and his boy have done a ton of work helping to get this year's River Fishing Derby up and running. http://www.daily-journal.com/bloggers/outdoorjournal/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm M Posted June 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Mike , I guess part of that proves my wife's belief that I'm not bright enough to come in out of the rain . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Clifford Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 To say I've learned from the best is an understatement. You and I talked conservation before conservation was popular. You are the heart and soul of all things related to the Kankakee River, Norm. There is a finite number of individuals to thank for a phenomenal smallmouth fishery through the sands of time, and you are one of them. Along with Gordon Graves, J.R. Black, Ed Mullady and the rest...... There aren't enough parks to dedicate to people who go above and beyond the call of duty for this watershed, but there are a few that come to mind that care more than the average bear.

Norm M Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Thank You very much Mike. It's nice to be appreciated. I meant what I said in the other thread, you are dong the best job ever as Conservation Director . I had a nice chat with Bob Rung about weeds last Wednesday . Hopefully I can swing a deal at work and make the next water willow deal in July . I want to continue the discussion with him as it was enlighting. BTW, did you see the Journal was reporting a guy in Momence caught a 20 lb plus largemouth and has first in the derby . That I gotta see to believe.

Jim Kast Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I saw that LM reported on another site and was hoping that one of you mid-staters could confirm it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Clifford Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 That shatters the state record by a whopping 7 lbs. I spoke with Frank at Frank's Bait store. It was a typo on the Fishing Derby website. It has already been beat by one ounce anyway. 3rd Place is 2lb. 12 oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
