Maderos,

You are the man. Still laughing after that one. My real guess is , are you folks sitting down, 10lbs. Or is that 8lbs??? 10" limits "Whoooohooo". Maybe next year for me, Noooooooo Way.

hey mark or anyone for that matter i have a electricy site and if we can fit two rigs in the area i wouldnt mind sharing.  i have a 12 volt and cant go two days in a row in that wind.  probably gonna get a wind sock too.

NW Bass doesn't impose a size limit on their tourneys and I don't think it is wussing out.  Someone always figures the fish 
out.  In fact someone at Tri-cities brought in 3.78 lbs for 5 fish.  Points are points right?

Plus the weigh-ins go faster because that eliminates one more element for the TD to take care of.

Gang,
  One things for sure, opinions VARY!  Being a points tournament, I like to hear how many of you are volunteering to "no show"!  Odds get better for those of us that see a lake, know there's bass in it and show up!  As far as the size limit, 5 fish is 5 fish is 5 fish!  I support the size limit reduction only because, the rules are the same for everyone and after seeing how excited STU was after getting his first tournament limit, isn't that a good 'nough reason alone?
  History, several years ago, Phil and I fished the Oct. team tourney on Riffe.  Phil shut down the big motor in over 100' of water, dropped the trolling motor in the water and grabbed A FLOATING RAPALA!!!!!!  First thought was, what the @^(#?  I said, "Phil what are you doing"?  He said "trust me"!  Gang, honest to God, he caught a 3 lb. smallie on his second cast!  We won the tournament not with 10 lbs. but by 10 lbs!
  Moral of the story, try different things, if a spinnerbait doesn't work the first hour, put it away and try something completely different!  Faz, this is your chance, 10 rods, changing baits every 10 minutes until you find "that bait" will help here.  Lastly, location, location, location!  The whole lake looks fishy, but it's not!  What in a deep reservior holds fish?  Pull out those BASSMASTERS!  What you've read, is TRUE!  Hint #2, Riffe is the only lake I carry an anchor on, and I use it!  May blank in the tournament, but I'm still going to do my best!  Good luck to all!

Damn Rob you were reading my mind.  Of course I am going to one up you on this one.  I have been build a secret ramp so that I can hit it with my boat at 55mph and launch myself into and out of Swofford's pond.  That way I don't get DQ'd....  For a fee I will let you use it.  Ha Ha    Come on guys I really don't hate Riffe that much.... It's just me being a little bored.

Glenn you got the legal drinking age and the number of exlamation points mixed up. Jeez people these days.

Ok Rob I thought we had an agreement on the float tube thing. Now you go telling everyone about our secret plan. Well there goes the tournament. Wait a minute if we hit Silver on Friday and just put the Largies in a cooler instead of the livewell we might just get big fish and 1st and 2nd in the Tourney. 8) Larry doesn't check coolers does he?

Mark,
  I agree to your point.  I fished a season with Potholes Bass Club a few years ago.  They don't have a size limit in their tournaments and it makes it alot more fun for everyone, including the kids.  Connor and I fished their team tournament on Roosevelt in July and took 6th place with a 6 fish limit weighing just under 6 lbs.  We had 1 12" fish.  The rest were less.  Connor had a great time because " every hit" was a "keeper".  We, as a club with a permit, have the right to do any size we want.  I like your idea!
