John, do fish need to be posted by 9am tomorrow or can they be caught prior to 9 and put up here later in the day?

Drew another blank today. The fish were there and liked what i was throwing. But it was the kid 50 feet away that was catching.

Everything is better on the rocks.

Finally got out for a couple of hours this AM. Nada nothing zip! My son graduated from college yesterday! That made it a good week even though I could not get out and fish much. I am just glad I was able to help support a good cause. Thanks to John and Greg for putting this together.

This little guy waited until 9:03 to get caught. I had to check my watch while I was reeling in because I thought I might have made it in time. Big thanks to GregW and JohnR for putting this on!

Thanks to John, Greg and everyone who joined. It was a fun week and I wouldn't have gotten out as much if this wasn't going on. Congrats to those who caught and those who tried
. This was for a great cause, and best of luck to Greg in the 9K, thank you for your service. Hope to see you all out there somewhere this year.

John really deserves the credit on this.
Without this site and the tourney site this wouldnt have been possible. I can barely get onto websites nevermind build them.


Reflecting on this tournament I noticed something unique. I noticed this tournament was different than all others I have been in.
First of all I noticed everyone seemed to have a good time participating. No gripes, complaints or bad taste in anyones mouth. Everyone fished however they normally would have. other than getting out a few more times. No fish were harvested. People posted there skunkings. People were hoping for a micro sized bass. lol.
And most of all everyone seemed to have fun.
Refreshing to see it happen this way.

I'm no math genius, so my "tally up" equals one! I like to keep it simple.

#6 - Sat night/Sun morn was an incredible calm night on the water with FISH EVERYWHERE. I think they were on clam worms or shrimp. They were finning and breaking all around me for 2 hours and I could only manage one landed and dropped two. I wish I had a fly rod. Great tournament guys Thanks. 6 fish total 26" to 34".

I am one of those kids who needs an ed plan and adult guidance (as those of you in the politic forum already know) so forgive me for messing this up... but it looks like we put our tallies here (?)

I had 4 fish one night witnessed, but no photo. 3 fish unwitnessed another night but photographed (i can upload those photos this afternoon). Also, one big skunk in the wee hours of sunday morning to finish it out.

Grand total for 3 trips = 7 fish things better pick up down here

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

I had 6 fish during the tourney but only have proof (photos) of the 3 I already put up.

Fished a total of 5 nights (around 10 hours total) with two skunkings. Fish ranged from ~22” up to 35”.

I ended up with 9 total fish all from the same general area in a span of 3 hours. I didn't take real measurements in order to get them back in the water quickly, but 3 of them were past the 28" mark on my rod. The rest were all about 17 to 22". I had a blast even on the nights I went out and got skunked. It was fun and for a great cause.

Kudos to Greg and John for putting this on for us and for all the behind the scenes work.
