I plan on being there.

it is time to start fishingt those tournys again

Is anyone going to post winners and weights?

I was not the actual tournament director so I do not have names or actual weights, but I can give you an idea (was at the weigh in). There were around 14 boats involved and only 2 weighed fish. First place had around 12 pounds, second place had one fish weighing around 6 pounds. Many boats went all day without even one fish. Was a very tough tournament. Even snowed on us pretty good. Was still good getting out of the house.
