Weigh-ins should be 3pm both days...........since it is a local tourney.

Gee I thought this was a fishing club site NOT WWE  Saturday Night SMACKDOWN ???  As for the tourney, went out to Sammamish yesterday and found that my Washington patterns were working there also.  You boys are in a heap of trouble......  I mean with all them skirts you will be wearing and tripping over.  I figure most of you will be spending as much time in the lake as fishing.

Awesome job guys.

It just blows me away that people don't think there are bass in lake washington.

Keep on believing that folks and our numbers will remain like this.

Oh and a good guess to Mark M. for having the closest guess at 27lbs.

WOW,

Great job to all of the anglers on Lk. Wa.  SImply awesome.  In reading the weights, Lyle and Brian had a 17lb sack on Sunday?  That is amazing.  In respose to Chris, I too have given this much thought.  I think it has to do with the evolution of interest in bass fishing in general, or maybe all these anglers were simply looking for a place like western to have a good time.  I like to think it is the latter.  In my ten plus years, the board and membership has always encouraged us to recruit new members through the various apperances that we do.  And if most members are like me, I am always touting the WBC ways to most anyone that will listen.  Aside from that, this new breed of angler is determined to learn new methods, use reliable equipment, are not afraid to fish new water, and above all else do not get all "freaky" in the head during club events.  Put it all together and repeating as AOY is going to be difficult for just about anyone in the coming years.  What fun

Hurray I guessed right for a change. I bet on the Logston team to win it. You know mostly because of the use of a camera which I strongly believe shouldn't be used in a tournament. I still wonder to this day why the club voted for it. It takes the sportsmanship as well as the ethics out of it all.
