Shawn OConnell won with mid 19 lbs.  Mike Stahlman 2nd. It was tough to find the Smallies over 2 lbs.  Larry got Big Fish with a 3.9 LM on Saturday, he said he couldn't find any on Sunday.
I missed all my topwater bites Sunday morning, and lost one half way to the boat.  Would have had my 5.3 lb sack around 7 at least  Grin 
It was fun though, and I'm pretty sure it never hit 100 degree's but was close.

Jack-

Larry was the only one to take home the big $$$$. Only BF was paid out and no plaques.  After some thought I didn't hear upfront  that it was a paid fish-in or I would have saved some of my hard earned cash.

What charity is the entry money going to so I can claim it on my taxes?

Hell I didn't realize that either. Was it in writing that there were no paybacks besides big fish ?  Glad I did poorly in this case.   Cheesy  See ya'll at Lake WA.

Yeah, it wasn't clearly enough defined.  They payed Big Fish and I think a cert for a rod $350 value.  And if you stuck around Saturday, Brad went and picked up some pizzas etc for us.  I showed up with no cash also, but happily went and got cash to donate to the cause.

If we do this again next year, which I think we should, I suggest laying out where the cash goes.

Terry-

Good point and $350 is a nice rod, but the whole go down to LOM to pick it up smells like the club didn't pay full price....  and if you do the math at a full $350 -$70 permit  that's like $188 in pizza. I didn't go back to eat because it was too hot but maybe I should have taken a few pies back to my room.

I didn't fish this but as a Member(12yrs), what the heck? The point of entry is to win $ or at least a piece of hardware. A donated rod that you have to go get is not attractive.

More than willing to donate to a great club, but to fish, pay for entry. Lodging,food,gas etc. has to have some benefit for the winners. Just saying. Entry fees were over $600 bucks where is that  money? If club needs cash charge all members not just the ones that showed up to fish a tournament.

Entry fees~$650
Permit - $94
Big Fish - $80
Rod -$350
Pizza - $100

~$26 left over???

Just quick math in my head, but seems pretty close to not fret.

I do think if we want to grow this next year though, making it a free entry would go along way and still having the winner win a gift certificate or cash would be cool.  Just some thoughts.
