2015 Slabfest at Talquin

[TnT]

Another great time was had by all this weekend at the Talquin Slabfest. We had plenty of good food and fellowship. The fishing wasn't what we have been accustomed to in the past and it was hard to get the fish to bite, but there were some nice fish caught. The 2 largest that I know of were caught by Spiderman and Outlaw 125. On Wednesday and Thursday, Spiderman had 2 that went 1.75 lbs and Outlaw 125 had one that was 1.9 lbs. Fishwalton has a ton of pictures and we'll get them out of him somehow and get them posted soon.
We had some folks there for the first time and it was great to make new friends. I know if I start naming names, I'll leave someone out but I look forward to seeing you all again on the water.
I had the uh...umm...ahhh....pleasure(?) Friday to fish with "D" from Louisiana. Danny is a great guy and regardless what Hooker says "D", you are welcome in my boat anytime you are back down this way!!
We had 6 Big Fish winners today. They were:
1. Litewirehooker and Heavylead............1.69 lbs
2. Debbie(The Outlaws wife)..................1.38 lbs
3. Quiver............................................ .1.36 lbs
4. Bruce and Kathy...............................1.32 lbs
5. Huntinslabs and Crappieday...............1.25 lbs
6. Spiderman.......................................1. 05 lbs
Thanks to all that donated door prizes, the ladies at LTL for doing a super job on the food, Hooker and Heavylead for taking charge on the cooking and Slab for all of the goodies that he brought to give away.

Pictures will coming soon!!!!

Unbelieveable good time CG1. So many people and everyone I saw having a good time. Curtis and Tim was running like Banty roosters trying to talk to everyone and helping everyone. Hopefully I can make many more.

Well we made it home at 4 central time. Pouring rain last 2.5 hrs. Had to drive slow. Tim , you an awesome dude. Still can't figure out what to think about Hooker. lol. Mae and I had a great time. Enjoyed meeting all of you and will do my best to come back. Somebody has to take the title from Hooker. HaHa. Really great job guys and glad the fish did cooperate somewhat. The Louisiana bunch probably won't believe it when I say I caught keeper fish in Miss. and Fla. Thanks again.Great job on the pix. Thanks for what you do head Guber. And remember don't get an Alabama red truck!!!

Great job on the pics, and thanks for posting them for those of us that couldn't attend. Looked to me like a good time and a good meal and good company.

Great to have met you at Talquin.
