The Results Are In! Lake Washington Fish-In Report

I want to start by saying thanks to everyone who came to the fish in today. It was awesome meeting you all in person and seeing those of you I haven't seen in a while. I also wanted to give a big thanks to our sponsors for this event WIRED Energy drinks for handing out free WIRED to everyone in attendance, and Pure Fishing/Berkley for donating some killer baits, stickers and weigh in bags. I think everyone went home with something.
A few of the boats present today:

Now for the good stuff. We had 18 boats at our fish in today for a total of about 40 anglers! There were alot of fish caught today, considering the winter time conditions. Nice work to everyone. Here's how the top guys finished:
1st Place Smallmouth: Nick Berto - 20" 4lbs 10oz

2nd Place: Tony LoFranco 19"
3rd Place: Shawn McDaniels - 18.75"

Honorable mentions of those who caught fish in the 18" range include Tyler Walker (bigassbass), Jordan Doucet, Billy Smith, Mark Maderos, and a few I missed for sure.

Here's the pic of my 18" 3lb7oz Smallmouth from this morning.

If anyone else has some pics from today, post them up and do some bragging. You deserve it for powering through this cold winter day.

I hope to do it again soon!

Here's the damage we did today. Smaller fish was about 2lbs caught by Rob Maglio first thing this morning. The big guy hit about 2:30 and was pushing 5lbs.

Looks like you guys had a killer day. It was cold for sure with no fish caught in the north end of the lake.
