Harlan County Lake still above normal elevation!

Even though there have been large releases from the Harlan County Lake,it is till only one foot below the high. Today it was 1947.83. The high was at the end of May at 1948.87. Normal elevation is 1946.

How's the fishing? Well this writer and Mr. Catfish, Michael Boehler, took a shot at the lake yesterday and caught 25 fish. Yes,exactly 25. Sixteen catfish were released due to their smallness. We caught catfish, drum, and one BIG bullhead. Mr. Catfish had three real big fish on but they all broke his line. Shrimp and night crawlers worked the best. We had no success on shad. Towards the end of the day, Mr. Catfish yelled "Walleye!, Walleye!" As he fulled the fish up, it was an 8" bullhead. Mr. Catfish knows catfish but he got fooled on this catch.

Alex Maric signed with the Indiana Pacers. We wish him luck and hope that he can make the team.

I hate rain shortened races. The best cars usually don't win and it becomes a lot of luck. Kurt Busch won the New Hampshire race today.

Eshaunte "Bear" Jones has signed with the Husker basketball team. Know as a great shooter, he was recruited by a number of top 20 teams.

We are only about eight weeks away from the first NU football game vs. Western Michigan. They are called the Broncos, they are located in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and they are coached by Bill Cubit. This group has a bunch of skilled seniors. Last year they knocked off Iowa 28-19 in Iowa City on Senior Day. Two years ago they upset Virginia.

Wide receiver Jamarko Simmons had 84 catches for 970 yards last year for Western Michigan. Tim Hiller is their much improved QB but he does lack mobility. Do you suppose Bo will have the blitz going that day? The Broncos run a spread offense so we will see three cornerbacks on defense a lot of the day also. On defense, the Broncos return 11 starters with nine of them seniors. Should be an interesting first game!!
