they NEED to get a B&T open for 24 hours. for guys w/a decent drive. Coming back sunday AM to weigh in a fish is a tough call.

Here's the winning MS fish from the Friday night gale. I agree with the earlier post, a fun tournament for a GREAT cause. Kevin

I was there when he weighed it - nice fish Kevin! Congrats on a fine catch in tough conditions.

Just wished you were fishing for us (the good guys) that night

Thanks to all who fished hard for the Newport Club. Thanks to all anglers for supporting the tourney.

Don't get me wrong I was in no way questioning it's size... NICE fish indeed! Just saying it looks small in the pics.

Agree. I didn't think it was over 30 either. Photo doesn't do it justice. It was a very fat 44" fish. Bill and Dennis both saw it. Loaded with squid. Kevin

Agreed. I actually started talking to Jim KcKeough about it a few weeks ago and he seems receptive to the idea of additional weigh stations and a possible fishing area increase. Hopefully a few others sent emails too, otherwise it was mine he was referring to when he talked about making changes next year.

I notice your profile says CT, you may want to contact him as well if you want a weigh in closer to there. I've asked for one either just over the bridge or on Aquidneck Island as well as an expanded fishing area region including Newport if not further East.

Will do. It's not so much location, as hours. I had a 22 lber I didn't weigh in since It was 1+ hours to Weekapaug for me after getting home at 4:30 AM. A 24 hr shop would be MUCH nicer.
