Wall was rough and unproductive.  The cove was totally without fish.

My favorite

What a great event!    About 80 folks fished, laughed, joked, shared secrets (yeah, right!), and ate.  Everyone chipped in and made it wonderful.   There were about 56 tourney-paying fishermen in various configurations of teams.  The heroes of this party are Michael (Southernboy), John( partime), Audrey, Linda, Michael, Cliff, and Big Marv.

Our heaviest 10-catfish stringer team winners are:

 1st place - Cliff Hill and  Dave Thomas   19.80 lb   ~  $223
 2nd place - Big Marv, John and Justin            17.32 lb   ~  $148
 3rd place - Michael Nichols and Marty           17.10 lb   ~  $74

Our heaviest catfish individual winners are:

 1st place - Cliff Hill                            3.74 lb - ??  (I  don't remember)
 2nd place -Joel                                           3.30 lb   - ??  (I don't remember)
 3rd place - Michael Nichols                         3.00 lb   - ?? ( I don't remember)

Thanks to Lonnie for the certified scales, working the weigh-in, and to Audrey for handling the money.  Audrey is a special lady...up and collecting at 5 A.M. and understanding the Alien algorithm for determining the prize amounts.  Everyone needs to thank her for her perfect performance in dealing with the weird people in this event.

A big, big thanks to Marty for donating the trophies and getting us to expand the prizes.   

A  "thank you" to the pride of my life, Linda, for doing all the preppin', dippin' and breadin'.  More thanks to Mark. Tammy, Mike and Rachel for helping Linda and I with watching our 5 yr old grand girl, Beth,  and preparing the tables and cleaning, during and afterwards.

I will be updating this area with a spread sheet which will give the details of the results in the next couple of days.

but first, the pictures.

Bring on those filets!!!!

This pic is priceless...  Where did you catch these and how??
