THE 2nd Anual BEST CHALLENGE/ ICE TOURNEY AT CUBA LAKE

[JerryofWNY]

Scott, Congrats on what appears to have been a great tourney with  lots of fun (and other stuff) for everyone there. Wish I could have been there. Mother Nature has sure been a witch this year, but am glad she smiled on you for this day.
Mike, good job with the pics. Thanks for sharing, though they make missing the day worse. Is that pike from Sat. or this AM? Why didn't you lip lock him like that bass in the funny pictures thread?
Congrats to all the winners.

This morning. Rich and I are glad we went back... and if I kissed that pike I wouldn't have any lips left! Here is the rockbass that won the knife:

Wizard,, Thanks for putting on a nice ,fun ,and enjoyable torny. Could not have asked for a nicer day . Hali-man , awesome picture's -- thanks alot. I know alot of time goes into posting that stuff, thanks again. Bigfish-- man were those hamburgers and sausage a hit or what!!! thanks , they really hit the spot. Buckski, thanks for the slabs of venision and summer sausage-- they were also good. As you can tell from the pictures I like to drink;i mean eat-- O.K., so i like to eat and drink(LOL).By the way ,that pike weighed in at 8 lbs. and it was caught on a pole/reel combo with a jig. All on 4 lb. test!! That thing screamed out line 5 different times before we could get her out of the hole. Man what a day!!! . Buckski, What did ya do, go back and hit my holes up for the night bite after the torny(lol)?It was nice meeting everyone and finally putting some faces to all these names. Once again , thanks for a fun time Scott and i'm looking forward to next year already.Stay On Top, Utes

Looks like I missed a great time out there......the Wizard put on a great show as usual.    And, as always, the Hali-man comes through with a lot of great pics.

Me, I missed it, because I got some great reports from another lake, but it ended up a little slow there.  As always, a day late.

looks like everyone had a blast.I had to put in some docks at cassadaga lake.Laid 75 ft of dock in about 8 hours. I worked my tail off but it will be well worth it once all the ice is melted off the lake and I am out there slaying fish in the boat.congrats to the winners and to Scott on what looked like a hell of a good time out on the ice.Maybe I can make it next year.

[BUCKSKI]

Utes yes we did go back to those holes and how and his son stayed and the evening bite picked up.
