I thought that 5 years ago was the best tournament for our crew when my wife caught the first tagged fish of the tourney and she got $500.00 for it. That was a very good year. But I was misstaken This tournament was the best one in my 25 years of going. My nephew a 15 year old, his first year in the adult side of the tourney won first place with a 23"Lx12"G 4.30# Rainbow he caught in the first hour of the first day, His dad my nephew by marriage caught an hourly fish for the last hour winner of that same day. My wife and my grandson both measured fish but they did not win, not so good. On Sunday in the 11 to 12 hour I hooked and landed the second place winner at 22"Lx12.5"G 4.30#. The last hour on Sunday my other nephew landed a big rainbow and missed taking that our prize by 1/4". In the 25 years of going to this tournament this is the first fish that I have measured don't know if I can top it but I will go back for as long as I can or as long as they have it. I heard that their was 650 entries. It was a very enjoyable weekend.
