Cool man.  I'm pumped.  1st competition.

Great meeting you last night Brian...how did you do?

Well sir,  I caught two that would've weighed.  Lost a couple. It was a slow night, but I'll take it over getting skunked. Did you get your trolling batteries fixed up?

My buddy went and grabbed his boat and I put mine on the trailer. Didn't get started fishing until about 8:00.

Heard from a friend and very honest guy that there were quite a few dead fish floating around Saturday morning, including one 5 pounds or better. I'm CPR all the way and personally wish there would be no hot weather derbies without proper care --- aerated post-weigh in holding tanks and a release boat to get them out away from the hot, oxygen-deprived water near the banks. But as has been said here before, it would be better to take them home than just to leave them for buzzard food. Sure doesn't give tournament fishing a good name among the general public.

I agree champ...in our Castmasters club, any dead fish is taken home to be supper by one of the guys. It seems there is always 5 or 6 guys fishing off of the little fishing dock at prairie...I'm sure if one of us tourney guys went over and said 'hey, anyone want some bass to eat?' they would be very happy!!  That would be better than buzzard or racoon food.

Absolutely, Mike. Again, I hate that any of them die but leaving them behind for others to see (and smell) is just the worst act possible. Shame on all involved.

Summer tourneys...How about a 3 fish limit? Should try to do something.
