TR, Here you go. http://www.oakley.com/search/men+prescription+sunglasses There are some prescriptions that are beyond what they can do so you may have to check with Oakley on your specific prescription requirements. Mark

Look forward to it.

Bent Hook Marina at Big Cedar is the only one this year Jim. Depending on overall event participation we may add a site next year.

Our trailering clause is primarily related to adverse weather and in place to help with angler safety. In most cases, we only see trailering at the end of the day or the during later weigh-in hours and most anglers don't return to the water at that point. Rarely do we see anglers trailer in earlier hours and then trailer back to the water due to the travel time. This rule allows us the right to inspect a boat(s) if our tournament director believes there is a pertinent need to do so. There isn't any major delay caused and normally this process happens while anglers wait to determine their place in the hour. Our number one goal is to process our participants quickly and get both them and their fish back to the water as fast as possible. Anglers who are in the Top 5 for the hour will have to stay at the Toyota Main Stage until the hour is officially closed and they are released by the TD. Once you are "bumped" in any hour we send you back to the water immediately. Thank you Mark

Here you go Don. These are our rules as it relates to guides and professionals. This tournament series is designed for amateur anglers only and anyone who has guided for money on the hosting lake of this series within thirty (30) days will not be eligible to compete. Any angler who has fished three (3) or more tournaments in the past twelve (12) months with an entry fee of $1500 or more is ineligible. I'll post a full copy of the event brochure and rules once I get a link set up. Mark

Good stuff Tim. I'll put in a good word for you. I'm sure that line would be long. Maybe next year we can raffle off a day on the water with him? Again, sorry for the mix up. Those of you fishing AIA, who can't participate for whatever reason, at least come by BPS on Friday June 4th to see KVD and hang out with the Rolling O Lab Crew. We will have some free giveaway's and prize packs from our sponsors and partners.

Adjustment made to original thread. We were simply wanting to let anglers know that there's flexibility on our end. Thanks for the feedback. We were specifically relating to our rules not their rules. Apologies. Mark

Guys, We handle multiple weigh-ins all the time. If it's an AIA rules issue then please disregard. It's not a violation for us and we have a specific process to handle. Sorry, if someone misinterpreted the post. We aren't speaking for AIA we are speaking for our group. I'll revise. Mark

Tim, Our first place payout is a $43,000 Z9. Easy solution for AIA anglers. Fish with us Saturday only for $110 or Saturday and Sunday for $160. Our rules allow us to weigh their big bass on Sunday and return it to the anlgers and they can still participate in the AIA stringer event (***If AIA allows***) on Sunday afternoon. Reminder that the first 100 to enter for a two day entry get a Quantum PT Energy Rod. So even if you're going to fish one day then you're still up if you get a rod and only fish one day. http://www.quantumfishing.com/products/1917/Energy-PT.aspx Mark
