Joke for this Week - Get the wives week - In a recent interview in the Los Angeles Times, "The Newlywed Game" host Bob Eubanks recalled one of his most memorable moments on the show. Eubanks asked one female contestant to remember something her husband had told her not the talk about. "She said her husband and her cousin were going to kill her uncle for the insurance money," Eubanks said. "I was even more shocked when her husband came back and matched her answer." Police officers were waiting for the husband after the show finished taping.

Trivia Contest - http://fishing.about.com/library/weekly/blcontest.htm - Answer a trivia question, be entered into a drawing for a prize - All correct answers received during the week, before noon on Sunday, will be placed in a drawing for the prize
=====================================
Tip of the Week - As soon as bass spawn, check out structure leading out the the main lake summer holes. Bass hold on structhre that leads out to were they spend the hot months, and feed along the way. Points at the mouths of cove, humps and islands near spawning coves and other bass holding structure should be good now.
