Ahh, Hamroom time. when a fellas thoughts drift towards well, drifting a crawler in search of that Ham winning walleye. While there's certainly a little of cash at stake, it's the ability to claim the title of "HamRoom Champion" we're all chasing. After all, winning the Ham allows you to lay claim to being the best walleye fisherman on the river, at least until the River Rat.
A lot has changed in the 8-9 years I've been fishing the Ham. Most notably the boats. Seems back in the day, a Klund style "redboat" was the norm, these days there's gotta be three quarters of a million worth of rigs involved with the 30 or so boats. gotta admit, it pays to be fast sometimes. No more shotgun start by dave, in the boat launch parking lot. Kortum may not even have brought an implement of sheephead destruction last year, in the old days watch out if you were a drum, ya mighta got sawed or squirted with axle grease...dude must be getting all serious with him.
The Ham is a helluva lotta fun. Most of the participants are high school bro's and a few stragglers too and it's a good chance to catch up a little and walk tall if you get a nice box.
Good Luck saturday fella's, your gonna need it because BigPikeMike's got em dead to rights.
Cheers!
