Thank you everyone who showed up to support this event, once again the folks at Pure Fishing did not disappoint with some great product giveaways for each boat that attended along with rods and reels for the raffle.
The weather held up for the tournament pretty well, with a chilly morning and a slight wind most of the day, but in general, the sun was shining and it was a great day to be on the water. The fishing was pretty tough for most teams with just 5 teams out of 20 weighing limits and a little less than half the teams weighing fish at all. Here's how the top 5 shook out:
Big Fish 4.88lbs: Mark Mrzena and Shawn Mcdaniels on a Berkley Havoc PitBoss Jr in Green Pumpkin
I was even able to sneak out for a couple hours and tie into these two beauties - one on the Berkley Havoc Deuce with a hula skirt and the other on a Berkley Havoc Backslide. The big one had a 6" sculpin hanging out of it's mouth:
We are looking forward to doing this tournament again next year and hope that with a little better planning and advanced notice we can grow the participation and hopefully show Berkley that it is worth investing in our market up here.
On that same note, I am curious to know why those of you that did not show up to the tournament did not come? Was it the late notice, weather, costs, etc...? I really am looking for some feedback to do whatever we can to grow this.
Here are the pictures:

Sorry I couldnt be there Jordan...I has helping my dad at his lake roosevelt cabin...I appreciate you putting all the time and effort into things like this for the bass fishing community! Ill be there next year!
I was working. But I'm glad everyone had fun!
Jordan this tournament was great glad your planning on it next year. I liked the format. My boat was on a diet with all the non Berkley tackle at home. Congratulations to Mark and Shawn just shy of 19lbs with a 4.88 Lake WA freak in the box nice work fellas.
I would normally attend this sort of thing, but work kept me from participating...look forward to next years event. Good on you Jordan for organizing this type of tourney.
