thanks
 
Thanks to everyone for the congrats... it was a great day. We set out to have fun and were all willing to work hard. The fishing was the easy part, waiting for the other anglers to weigh in... that was nerve racking.

My wife brought my kids to the weigh in and I was trying to sit with them, but I couldn't calm down. I'd been thru it in the BASS local and state tournaments, but the most $$ we ever could win was a couple grand in the annual MDA buddy tournament. This was a little different.

I also want to thank Bill and Julie for asking me to be on the team, and Chris for jiggin' like a maniac for 9 hours. They were awesome teammates and it was a fantastic team effort. It just flowed like we fished together every weekend. The ride back from the weigh in was so cool... I don't know, just to see how excited those guys were and to know how I felt. I just won't forget it.

The thing that struck me most is how patient we all were. It was slow at times and you might get the tendency to want to run all around and find some active fish.

It worked out pretty well.

Chris, did we really win??

I agree 100%, it felt as if we were all fishing buddies from way back, and I credit Bill and Jules for that, they are great people to spend the day on the water with.
Watching baitcaster (Bill) with that grin all the way back to their marina was something I will never forget, as well as the entire day. It will be one of the memories I carry with me thru my life.
I think we did win:musc: but it has not sunk in...yet

CONGRATULATIONS
 
Billand Jules,

Congratulations on the big win, you certainly work your butts off and spend your time on the water catching. It is well deserved and you should be very proud of the team that you put together. I guess I won't be seeing Bill at S&S for a few days.

In the AM, it is tuna time for us, see you out there and ince again congratulations.

Dave

:D Bill & I just wanted to thank Chris and Greg for and outstading job the other day. We also want to thank everybody here from SB.com for all of you generous well wishes, as well as all the emails and phone call :call: we have recevied over the past several days.

Your outpooring of support has been overwhelming to say the lease and we just want to say THANK YOU!!!:claps:

We have made many freinds here as well as MSBA and its a pretty phenomenal bunch of people. So again thank you all for your support :jump:

Chris and Greg, yes we really did win!!!!

Jenn 08-23-2006 05:18 PM

WOW! Congradulations!

Jules, I dont think it pheramones......I think its karma! For all those you and Bill have enlightened in the world of fishing, they will never have another winning bunch with as much class! (unless of course you win it again:uhuh: )

Congrats to Team Alternative
 
Jules,
If I remember, there was more than just one cheeto's grin and a single set of goosebumps on your boat when your boat left my wife and I at the FLW Check-in boat on Saturday afternoon. I don't remember ever seeing such an excited fishing team. Glad to see it all worked out. We look forward to seeing you at West Dennis and obviously at VA Beach. Tightlines to ya, and thanks for the kind words about the Keep Alive Boxes.

Sincerely,
Gary

Fisherwoman 08-24-2006 08:58 AM

Hey Jenn , thanks and how are ya buddy, haven't seen ya in a while.

Pennhead, ya you are right but if was all your fault for getting us worked up in the 1st place LOL, You guys were they best and I will never forget those words when we came by your baot to check in and you told us we were the only team to weigh in 2 fish so far. Had me so freakin excited i almost coulda :yak6: right on the spot. You may see us at the other tournaments we still have not had a chance to sit down with the team and see what we are gonna do next.

Best of luck with you next event!!

Elmo 08-27-2006 09:38 PM

Excellent!
 
Hey Jules,

Just got back from vaca for a week and saw that you won this event. That is awesome! Congrats to you, Bill and your team. I am fishing in the W. Dennis one and can't wait! On three separate occasions this year we boated over 100 fish and got fish up to 27 and then 35 to 40. We could not buy a fish between 28 and 34 so IMO a slot limit event might be harder to fish! Hopefully that is not the case for us in a few weeks! Again, great job and well deserved.
