It went very well and thanks to Odie and Brian for putting this together, and to Larry Russell crappie Pro, and Todd Huckabee for the use of his scales. A local team won it, Brian and Odie had it won,....but one of their big fish was gill hooked and died. Big fish was a 1.75.
We had a great time yesterday hosting our first ever tournament. I first want to thank Todd Huckabee for opening the store early to allow us to check-in there and get any supplies we needed. The breakfast was really good there also. Todd called Brian during the day and volunteered to weigh the fish for us also. Another special thanks to Larry Russell, owner of Crappir Pro, he donated several packs of jigs to give away. He also donated $25 to the biggest fish caught on a Wasshoppa.
We had 11 teams show up and fish. It was a very cold and windy day for May 14th.
The winner of the tourney was David King and Claude Self they weighed in 7.55lbs. $180
2nd place went to Nick and Brady Blizzard they weighed in 7.45 lbs. $100
3rd place went to Darren Young and Andy Blizzard who also had 7.45 lbs. $50
Tiebreaker Nick and Brady's big fish was 1.5 and Darren and Andy's big fish was 1.20
Big fish pot went to Doug ? and Loyd ? their big fish weighed 1.75 and was worth $ 110.
Brady and Nick won the $25 donation for the biggest fish caught on a Wasshoppa.
Thanks to everyone for coming out fishing and having a good time. We hope to put on a couple more of these during the coming months.
Odie
I'd like to thank both Odie and EB for putting this thing on. We had a good time and it was good to get to talk to some CDC'ers and see the fish come in. Also thanks to Larry, owner of CrappiePro for donating Wasshopah's and for the extra $25. It was nice to be able to stop at Todd's store and sign in, get some early morn food and supplies before heading out. For such a small store, that place turns out some good food! Thanks to Todd for opening it up early and helping with the weight in!
I look forward to the next one and I hope it's soon!
My only request is next time, put the screen names with the actual names on the results so we can connect the screen name with a face!
Thanks again guys, ya'll did an outstanding job!!
Rumor has it that they were giving that thing mouth to mouth all the way back to the weigh-in :eek:Quote:

Don, If we thought that would have helped we would have done it. LOL!!! We cut the line and left the jig in her mouth and she died in less than 10 min. anyway. That is fishing. We had a good time anyway.
