    RCL BIG STONE LEAGUE PRO STANDINGS

    RCL BIG STONE LEAGUE CO-ANGLER STANDINGS

    I fished this tournament as a co-angler, it was the first RCL tournament I had ever fished and even though it was a tuff bite I had a blast. A cold front moved in mid week and shut down the fish big time. My partner Derick Wenck and I did manage to get on fish a half hour before weigh in, we caught two fish within six minuets of each other but only one of them was a legal fish, too bad we did not find them about an hour earlier we might have been able to bring in a limit. The good thing was that by weighing just one fish I was able to earn 167 league points. The winning weight was 9.11 lbs with 4 fish. Out of 61 teams there was only 78 fish caught. There was allot of IDA members there, I rode up with Gator Hunter & Chappy, we saw Buckshot & Stick Boy and Niteeye was there also. I would like to say congratulations to Pro-Staffers Don Hanson & Mike Finke on the boater side, Don came in 28th place with one 2.0 lb fish earning him 173 league points and Mike came in at 39th place with a 1.1 lb fish earning him 162 league points. Last but not least Congratulations to Niteeye on the co-angler side who came in 20th place with 2 fish weighing 3.8 lbs earning him 181 league points & he cashed a check for $61. I had a great weekend it was good to see all the familiar IDA faces there and to meet some new ones, see you guys in June at Mille-Lacs.

    Congrats Guys!!! Fishing the Co-Angler side can be a very good learning and fun experience. Last year I traveled to the weigh ins of the tournaments as my son Nate fished the circuit and I heard alot of positive things said by both Co-Anglers and Walleye Leaque Pros about the tournaments. Thanks for the report Steve.
    Thanks, Bill

    It was a tough bite no doubt about it.
    Sat night was a lot of fun sharing a few brewskis with Stickboy, Steve, Chappy, Gator Hunter and Nite Eye.
    Congrats to Niteeye for cashing a check….a couple more of those 15 ouncers that I got and I would have been right in there too.
    Maybe Mille Lacs will be better to all of us.

    Hey guys

    It was a pretty good time. Fishing a tourney in the cold, wind, and rain with no fish biting. What more could a guy ask for? Both Friday and Saturday evening were a blast. I would call it a definite “nuts flush”.

    Niteye, shut the darn truck door.

    Thanks fellas. It was a fun time. Thanks again for setting up the Sauna to sleep in Steve. I was lucky enough to have a partner that had spent a lot of time on the lake and it gave us confidence to stick with a couple of spots.I am looking forward to Mille Lacs and just want some points.
    Alright I’ll get the door next time Chappy and Gator Hunter but somewhere there is an Irishman not breathing well. I look forward to sharing a brewski and conversation at Mille Lacs.

    The park is on the far west end of town, and MacQuids event center is just on the northend of the city limits. Mac’s Twin Bay Resort is just another 2-3 miles north on Highway 47.

    I think it was the fish that couldn’t handle you. Remember the Lund. See you at the big lake. We are staying at Karpens. We rent fish houses. Not bad.

    Hey gang.
    I highly recommend CoveBayGuy’s cabin. Waterfowler and I stayed there with a bunch of guys for the opener. It’s very roomy with plenty of beds and couches. And a bonus pool table and ping pong table to help unwind!

    You could sleep all the IDA guys going to Mille Lacs for this tourney. The place is huge.
