It was a great time.  We enjoy this event as much as any of the others.  Great to see everyone there and the numbers of boats at our events continues to impress.  Thanks to everyone for sharing.

Larry,  glad you could catch some fish, must of felt really good compared to what we've done on the mini tour hum?

Great job anyway.

Well me and the wonderful Mrs. Wolsky could'nt climb out of the hole we dug for ourselves on Saturday with 5+ pounds even though we caught 10.4 on Sunday for 10th place but we had a ball with 25-35 fish days but lots of time pulling and placing cull tags for mere ounces gained...had a limit less than an hour each day...Sunday we launched at 6am and we limited by 6:45 so no shortege of fish just quality bites.
Shannon is a class act and welcome on my boat any time!

Congrats to the top finishers!!! 
I would also like to thank Kirk and Russ for the BBQ, it was AWESOME.

As for fishing, y mother and I did alright consdiering I never have ever seen Lake Roosevelt before.
11 somethin pounds, we fished the Swawilla Basin most of the time. On day 1 I also had boat problems, I had a battery blow up and had to wait till a guy (Willie Boats guy, I believe he is a member, cant remember his name) passed to give us a jump start. The rest of the day we fished near the launch with no accesories running, so we wouldnt have to get another jump start to get back in. That afternoon I cleaned out all the masses of battery acid that had spewed all over my battery compartment and bought a new cranking battery and was good for day 2.  Overall I had a GREAT TIME and so did my mom, I will certainly be fishing the J & J next year.

Congrats goes to Team Rumann for taking 1st place!  Had a great time fishing and hanging out with everyone.  The food was AWESOME!!  Just goes to show what a little initiative and planning will produce.  Thanks goes to Russ and Kirk for BBQing the steak. Great stuff!

Varmint,

We also had some problems. Day one morning blast off and almost to Keller Ferry I discover my RPM dropping like a fly from 5800 to 2900. Took over 6 hours to get back to ramp at 7.5 miles per hour fished my way back at stops and then had Payseno's pull me back last two miles.

Did not fish day two as I would have liked.

Moral of story: Make sure you have second prop and tools to change it with.

Have been running bass boats for over 20 years without a prop issue and now I have learned lesson.

Ruman was leading day one with 12lbs.

Well as some of you have heard by now Mary and I had trailer trouble. We discovered the problem in Ellensburg when we stopped for lunch. It was obviouse from the liquified grease on the outside of the wheels that the brakes had somehow started dragging. Long story short we made it back home at 9pm.
I tore them down Saturday and found that the master cylinder was the culprit. It has a cylinder in it that had siezed. We were very lucky to have stopped when we did. A grease fire was just moments away I am sure.

That stinks Stu, too bad you cant come back to defend your crown.

I Will also Hvw some GAMMA FISHING LINE avaliable if you would like to spool up a reel or two.

Samantha and I had to change our plans and will not be able to go this weekend. 

Hope you all have a good time.

Susan and myself will not be there after all.  We made plans for Chelan and Wapato instead.  We would be fishing the J&J but I didn't make any reservations, and then the thought of Hawgs won us over. 
Have fun everybody !!  We'll be there next year.

Who else is going?
