I read the rules last night, my wife seen that first place was 10,000 so she started on me last night to fish the thing...
I tried to tell her I haven't even been on the lake this year...she just knows I've had a lot of success in years past fishing open tournaments,
However, you need to be prepared..LOL
I will be down there, I may try to make it for one of the weigh ins....... it was 3pm both days... I have a load of building materials for the house
and I'm getting my water tanks ready for spring... sometime this year we need to have a little get together at my place maybe do a BBQ or something...
I've done it in the pasted and had 10 or 15 people show up and I marked some maps for people wanted to know more about the upper regions of the river.

Good luck on the tourney for all of you... maybe I see some of you
