2013 Slabfest Classic Lake Monroe

Hope everyone had a great time, thanks to Hungry Howies, Debary for the special deal on the pizzas.

Congratulations to the award winners X racer...Biggest fish for the season, crappielover...heaviest five fish for the season, huntinslabs.....3rd place in the points race, 65pontiac....2nd place in the points race, and I took first (only because a couple of heavy hitters missed a slabfest).

It was good to see our old friend chucker and kev-man who stopped by, and for those who couldn't make it or had to leave early you missed some good food and a good fellowship.

Thanks phantom309 for taking a ton of photos, and thanks slab for the bobber donations. We used them as a drawing give away to the people who signed up.

Also congratulations to the Talquin bunch for winning the the throwdown...hopefully they will give a shot at making a comeback in the fall.

Here is a link to the video...yep video! crappiegirl1 this is your job get well soon!! THE YEAR SHOULD READ 2013 ON THE VIDEO

I had a Great Time Fishing with 309 Food and Fellowship was Outstanding , many thanks to all who work to put these events on , they do a Great Job , BTW Great Video RR

We ( Kev-man & I) had a great time seeing all of the guys from the Florida CDC. I felt like I was home.
I love the Mississippi lakes, but this Florida group is the greatest. Thanks for the warm welcome and the great
friendship that was shown. The pizza was very good, but nothing like Flycaster's fried fish & hush puppies.
Many thanks, I will be home next year for the season. Got to give Mike some competition. Ha! Ha!

Yes thanks for evrrything! Anx I believe next year will be even better with the changss intended.

Thanks for the kind words BUT:
The credit goes to SPECKANATOR for the fried fish and hushpuppies. Help also comes from Mike's wife Susan, who most often shows up just in time to get the cooking and set-up started. I have been busy with the weigh-in and recording, with the help of a rotating group of helpers.

Congrats to the winners and runners up and happy to hear the weather was good. Looking forward to next year.

Very nice video Mike, sorry your group didn't beat Talquin but looks like a great time.
