Dave, you are the bassmaster.

nice fish Dave! im not going to lie i really miss the stach'. the other day i was with a fellow WL.com member when we saw a guy at the local Taco Bell who had a similar stach. Instead of saying look at that mustache, we said wow that guy really tryin to grow the Dave Newby Mustache

Had that mustache for 36 years and a beard for 27 years thought it was time for a change. Most of my friends and acquaintances didn't recognize me until they heard me talk and recognised my voice. Thanks to all you guys for the pat on the back for the bass catches that I have posted on Washingtonlakes.com. I have counted up the pictures of bass that I have caught over the last 8 years with pictures and have counted over 150 over five pounds and over. I have caught more but didn't start taking pictures of all that I have caught over the decades of going for the bucketmouth species. Most all but a few of the fish that I have caught have been released for other anglers and I to catch again. I don't eat fish very often and the last time I remember eating any thing is about 10 years ago was half a smelt that I dipped out of the Cowlitz River down by Castlerock.
