Again thanks to all involved in making the Eufaula OCDC Tourney a success. Special Thanks to Larry Russell for his donation of the $25. and the baits. Todd for his time and the opening of his store to all involved. Last but not least to Doug (ODIE) and Brain (EUFAULA BOY), well done guys.
Just want Odie and EB to know they did a great job. The tourney was alot of fun and a success. I appreciate Larry Russell from Crappie Pro for his donations of the wasshoppas and and the $25 add on prize and for having really sharp hooks that ALWAYS gets your fingers...lol. It was very nice of Todd for all he did too. I really enjoyed this tourney and hope to have some more with the OCDC members, even though we got beat by my two sons and I still have not heard the end of it...lol Good job Brian and Doug.
I think they blew three fuses in Doug's boat trying to shock it during CPR.....lol
But still the tourny was great and we are ready for another one.....Odie and EB did a great job of getting it together and Larry Russell from Crappie Pro and Todd huckabee made it even better.
I feel bad that we didn't make it.
But that's another whole long story and right now, I'm too tired to type it all out.:o

Well gotta congradulate the winners of the tournament David King and Claude Self. Especially Claude Self, who has been a lifetime friend of our family. It took me back this morning when I saw his name at the top of the list and I immediately new who he was... There is only one Claude Self. Well it looked as though you guys had one heck of a time and a great turnout.
I think everyone had a great time, and I would like to thank everyone who fished it! When Doug and I discussed the entry fee we decided that it would not be about the money at all. But when we started paying out to the winners the money wasn't bad. If you did good you could least get your entry fee back and maybe cover the money you spent on gas (Boy is it high). I told Todd and Barry that I wanted them to be invovled in all these tournaments. They both said they would fish them in the future. Doug and I are kicking around some dates for June and July!
Odie,
Rumor has it McAlester EMS said that was the first crappie case they were ever called out on. Of course that is so far just a rumor! LOL
Thanks to everybody that made the event possible.
Ranger 09, please don't park your new CLEAN boat next to mine! LOL
The fish died just shortly after doug hooked him! We worked on him a little for about an hour but couldn't revive him. Doug had his bait in the water and was looking away when that fish run off. Unfortunatly the fish swallowed the bait. We fished with rod in hand and would set the hook as soon as we felt the bite and some the fish still had it in their throat. They were inhaling the baits!
