Mike and Philippe Head out for a Tournament Night Shift

Mike Maxwell and Philippe Rochat are about to head out on Spruce Run Reservoir for a night shift. I spoke to Mike minutes ago. They haven't yet placed in the Howie Behr Hybrid tournament, running on until 3:00 p.m. tomorrow, night catches permitted. First place thus far stands at 12 pounds, six ounces. Mike lost a good-size hybrid. Neither man has boated any.

Mike and Philippe set up camp last evening, so the boat is right there. With two dozen live herring left, thanks to Laurie Murphy and Joe Welsh at Dow's Boat Rentals, the herring in a plastic bag treated with oxygen, they stand a fighting chance. Win or lose. So long as the effort presses through, life is the reward.
