Thread: Tournament wrap up report.

Well, it was quite a spectacle. According to Pstone, there were 258 registered boats. Felt more like 1,258. I saw everything from a 16' Tiller with a 40 HP, to a 21 Foot Lund with a 225. Also, there were 2 pontoons that I know of and one of them was a Tritoon with a 225 that reportedly would do 60 mph.

Never got a chance to look at it, but there was a very large camo tin boat, probably a 2072, maybe an 1870 that had a weird contraption on it stickong out the back. Looked like the worlds largest paddle. I'm sure it was some kind of trolling plate that they put down after they got to their spot, but it was odd looking. Matter of fact, I saw them on Sunday about the Oakland exit broken down with a wheel off their trailer. Would have stopped, but had the family with me and I was headed South while they were headed North. Anybody know what that contraption was exactly.

Congrats to Tlow and Munta - the top finishing C.Cers, but an honorable mention goes to Pstone/Blount, SatDoc and Torch. Not sure where they finished, but Looney/Harris were right in there too.

My youngest was right in the hunt on Saturday, but his pattern fell apart on day 2 due to the change in wind direction. Story to follow.

Here's some random pics from the weekend.

The tournament guys did a pretty good job of trying to nurse the fish back up. I have some issue with the way they went about the weigh in and there's plenty of room for improvement, but the guys at the tank and the release boat worked hard to try and salvage as many as possible. Needless to say, a LOT of fish died, but many lived due to their efforts.
