We'll announce payout information prior to takeoff as well as tournament specifics (where to group up on the lake for the takeoff, what is off-limits [if any], who is the starter boat, minimum size limit for keeper bass, creel limit, what time the tournament ends, if we will trailer your creel or keep the boats in the water, where the weigh-in will take place, etc.).

Which ramp will you be using Sunday morning?

[TI]

Good question. We plan on using Olio Rd Ramp. I just talked to a guy that lives there to make sure it was still operating and he said that boats were launching from Olio Rd Ramp yesterday. If for some reason they shut it down, then we'll simply move to the Marina Ramp. Check Olio first.

See you tomorrow.

I'm very curious...what were the results?

[TI]

Well folks, 6 boats showed up to fish the Snowball. We were blessed with great weather as it got up to 55 degrees. The fish cooperated as I believe every boat had fish. However I think a couple decided to not hit the scales after they witnessed the weights of other boats.

With the small turnout we only paid 2 spots....2nd got your money back and 1st took the rest . Matt Warrum and Jake Brown finished 3rd place and just out of the money with 4.96 lbs. Yours truly and Craig Jurgonski (Jurgo) got second place with 8.66 lbs.

We also paid big bass. Speaking of big bass....have you ever heard the phrase, "it's not over until the fat lady sings"...or do you remember Jimmy Valvano's famous words, "don't give up, don't ever give up". Well, Sunday's winners certainly exemplified those very words as they caught a giant on the final cast of the day. Trent Caldwell and Josh McDermott drew a crowd at the weigh in with a 6.93 beauty. It was awesome. That fish not only got the Big Bass, but gave them 10.57 total lb's and the WIN. Great day. There are photos on the WRBM site, http://www.whiteriverbass.com.

Wow, nice fish. I assume they were fishing deep?

[tenlbbass]

I'll be there. I'll also tell as many as I can that usually fish there and on Morse.

[TI]

Sounds good tenlbbass. Please let me know what kind of interest you get either on this board, on the board @ http://www.whiteriverbass.com/ or you can email me at [email protected]. By the way, we do have a couple of interested co-anglers looking to team up with a boater in case you stumble across an interested boater without a partner.

Kind regards,

TI

I'm pulling this back up the board for awareness.

tenlbbass, if you talk to any boaters that would be interested in taking a co-angler on as a teammate, then please let me know. I have been contacted by a couple of guys/co-anglers looking for a teammate. Also let me know if you have had any success pulling any teams into the mix. See you Sunday. Weather should be OK....48 as a high.
