But there's still time and fish around

[redlite]

Can some one clue us in as to what third place is at least?????
I'd actually rather not kill a fish for the weigh in (if I can actually find something without teeth) if it isn't gonna matter.
Thanks

Fishing sucked last night. Had the honor of running into Mikey Redlite and fishing the same waters with him and his buddy.
Figured I'd have a couple of 40s fishing with a guy who is having an epic year. The problem was "you can't catch what's not there".

Well said Mike!

Sounds like it was tough all over. Good numbers of albies running around in the daylight though.

Can'nt belive i released a 24# bass an hour into the tourn.!!! Thought it was going to be a huge night after only fishing 30 min. and a 24 on the line! Realllllllly thought it was going to be big for me....I still had the secret big girl crack....a rudy riggy! Lost the damn riggy to an 18# blue around 0100. biggest fish lastnight was 14# Blitzes of schoolies allround! tried to weed through em bass half the size of my afterhours neeedle! Oh well at least its deer season now!!!

Chef, roughly 37# 1st, 27# 2nd, 18# 3rd
Trophies were very cool, large Habs needles replicas mounted over pieces of shale as a base, in gold, silver and bronze

First Place winner in the First Annual Habs Classic was Scott Halverson with a 36# bass that was only 44" long.

The fish was weighed at Edward's Fishing Tackle and Kevin said it was a beauty that really deserved a wall mount. I saw pictures of it that Scott's son Josh had with him and it was a was a real chubster for the length -

God knows, I love to see them with proportions like that

I also asked Scott if he had autopsied it to determine the stomach contents and he said the old girl didn't have a thing in her. Job well done, Scott I know how tough the fishing was all over that night he got it - and don't ask me how

Second Place went to Dave Anderson (our own Canalman) with a 25# if I remember correctly and Third Place was in at 18#. Kevin Kendricks himself ended up getting bumped out of 3rd by less than half a pound. There were no fish weighed in at either Quonny B&T or Quaker Lane as far as I know and I don't think any were weighed in at the SWE.

All in all, an outstanding job, men, under a nearly full moon and gin clear water with virtually no swell whatsoever. The competition was pretty stiff given the line-up of guys who fished the tourney - there wasn't a lightweight in the bunch, believe me.

So here's to you and here's to Habs

See you all next year
