    The Results are in, and this year, Dad and I just couldn’t find the same fish we found Pre-fishing… We caught 3 over 4 #s, with this one of my dad’s pushing 5… Oh well, guess we shouldn’t have pre-fished!

    At the end of the day, we lost dozens of lures to toothy, slimy critters, burned a “few” gallons of fuel, and enjoyed some Margarita’s at Manny’s with the family after the “event”… Celebrating our 29th place finish! (If we counted right!) So, we believe it was our worst finish in the past 5 years, with our 2nd best weight! 6 fish at ~16 pounds… wow!

    We had our limit in 40 minutes, and caught over 30 15″ fish… just couldn’t land the big bite. We missed no fish, a personal best for the 2 of us, albeit we’d like to say we had the fish on but couldn’t land them… which is worse?

    Alas, it was worth the $100 to be humbled once again by the great sticks in the area – congratualtions to many that view this board! Our take-away for us, we were reminded why this is a hobby/passion and not a career! Much like the many of us that dream of moonlighting as a rock star… most of us settle for singing in the shower… right!?
