PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.

Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.

We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.

Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:

There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.

Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.

Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)

Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”

Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.

Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.

Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.

In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.

Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.

We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.

PLATTSBURGH — After one day on Lake Champlain, Jamie Hartman returned to shore with a livewell that was 20 pounds heavier and a heavier wallet to boot.

Hartman took the top spot in the Walmart Bass Fishing League Lake Champlain Tournament Saturday after reeling in five bass totalling 20 pounds, 3 ounces overall.

He finished more than one pound ahead of the second-place angler, Michael Donahue.

Hartman, who's from Newport, took home $6,514 after Ranger Cup and Evinrude bonuses were tacked onto his weigh-in earnings.

Donahue, a Fulton native, weighed in at an even 19 pounds, and Henry Fristik of Chester, Mass. took third place with a total weight of 18 pounds, 4 ounces. Both men earned more than $1,000 for their catches.

Rob Lamoy of Chazy was the top local angler Saturday, bringing in 14 pounds, 6 ounces. He finished in 20th place, 5 ounces and two spots away from a money position. Ryan Latinville of Plattsburgh followed with a 23rd- place weight of 14 pounds. John Hynes (11 pounds, 12 ounces) and Nicholas Walker (11 pounds, 4 ounces), both of Plattsburgh, also cracked the top 50.

Saturday's tournament was the first of a five-stop tour in the BFL's Northeast Division.
