Some people might think that these anglers are crazy for getting out in this cold, rainy weather to go bass fishing. Well, I am sure if you ask any of them “What are you thinking?” they would most certainly reply “Our cause is worth it.” I hope the fish are biting and everyone is staying warm. Keep checking in, we should have the results of the weigh-in soon.
