Seven F****** Pounds!

Growing up in the 70's, one of my favorite Tigers to watch was Ron LeFlore. As solid a baseball player as he was, it was guaranteed he would kick it up a notch on this birthday every year (born June 16th; looked it up), usually going something like 4 for 4, hitting close to the cycle with a couple of stolen bases. Well, birthday boy Doke, a solid fisherman, kicked it up a notch on his birthday yesterday as he brought in the attached seven pound bass out of Lake St. Clair. Kudos to him and Al for also de-bunking the "east is least" theory (as in, east winds are bad and it was breezy out).

Happy thirty-something Doke.
