Ray Malouf, 94 year old retired physician, has always loved lake trout. He has lots of personal stories about fish he has caught in the past. He has numerous friends that will bring him a lake trout after a successful trip. But today, he actually caught one himself. It took some work, but he was able to shuffle into a small fishing boat and troll for "macs" on Bear Lake. He hooked into three big fish total, but was able to actually land only one of them. He felt it was worth the effort, however, because the one that didn't get away weighed in at 12 pounds. Dr. Malouf is likely to be the oldest fisherman to ever catch a lake trout this size out of Bear Lake. He plans to smoke the fish in his personally made smoker with his own secret recipe. For more details, he could be reached at 752-3322. If a story with pictures is printed in the HJ, we would kindly request that you do NOT publish the names of his friends who took him fishing... even if he offers the names.

Got this shot in the Subway in May. The water was forty degrees and when we had to swim you could hardly breathe. Going back down this weekend and hoping the water will be a little warmer.

This season, the Utah State men's basketball team met one of two goals: first, they won the WAC regular-season championship, tying with Nevada, New Mexico State and Boise State but securing the #1 seed for the conference tournament; and secondly, they came short of qualifying for the NCAA Tournament, the 65-team field that promises the chance for a national championship, known as March Madness.
Once the Aggies didn't qualify for the NCAA Tourney, they got a pairing against Illinois State, one of the top teams to not make in in the Big Dance, in the National Invitation Tournament, losing 61-57.
Before the NIT game, Utah State traveled to Las Cruces to play in the WAC tourney, winning the first game against San Jose State 85-65 before failing to beat Boise State for a third time this season the next day, falling 88-79.
The Aggies tried to crowd the post against the Broncos, which led to open three-point looks for Boise. Once these early makes got them in a rhythm, there was no stopping them, not even seldom-used bench...

Western Conference
#1 Los Angeles Lakers vs. #8 Denver Nuggets: Denver has two of the Associations' finest scoers in Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson, but give me an NBA champion who one, doesn't play as a team, where two players take two-thirds of the shots; and two, that wins it all with perimeter scoring and a lack of a real offensive threat inside. Sure, Marcus Camby is a nice player, if you're talking shot-blocking and rebounding- basically defense. Kenyon Martin could be a better offensive power forward if he got more looks at the basket. Likely MVP Kobe Bryant should have a field day every game of this series. Both teams love to get up the floor early and often, especially Denver. The Lakers, from Bryant, to Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom and Derek Fisher, simply have weapons that can put the ball in the whole. Lakers in 5

#4 Utah Jazz vs. #5 Houston Rockets: The Rockets went on a 22-game winning streak mostly without Yao simply by playing great defense, making good passes, and cutting hard to the hoop to give each...
