Awesome! Thanks for getting the word out early. This is a great event, and I've really enjoyed it the last couple of years and will be looking forward to participating in it again this year! Always a lot of fun!

JeffB · 10-17-2015, 03:36 PM

I'm in, I can't wait for it.

jorluivil · 10-17-2015, 03:41 PM

Mugs as prizes?

Dail14 · 10-17-2015, 04:54 PM

I use the the built in livewell on my stealth 12. I know I could fit at least 1 legal bass in there but am unsure if I could safely add others and keep them in good condition. Is there another good way to store more without getting a secondary livewell or would I be forced to constantly go back to the weigh in after I catch every fish?

Iceman · 10-17-2015, 05:18 PM

We usually try to have 2 weigh boats making the rounds........mugs? probably

jorluivil · 04-09-2016, 05:10 PM

Over looked, found it. I used the same Paypal for the Steve Green Shootout and the same cost so it was hidden within the 90 entries for that.

Added you to the list.

The winner of the halibut division will receive a trophy as well as a custom wrapped halibut rod from Jeff B. Thanks Jeff!

Little more than 4 months to go.....thinking maybe a Campland get together that Saturday night too
