The Yak and jet boats are OK, we have never disallowed before.

Jeff, you might be right-it might take over 22, it will all depend on weather that date, and the size of the field. Richard, are you going to allow Jetboats to run the Yakima? I did post that picture on my personal page. A number of others have also asked to see it, so I will start a new thread.

Glad you will be able to fish it and I think you are right on the money for 22 lbs to win it. I still want to see a picture of that beast you caught last weekend.

Any information on this tournament? What kind of weights were turned in?

Well I don't have the actual weigh slips for the tournament so this is approximate on the weights but the positions are fairly solid for the top 5.

Batey/Ratchford 21+ pounds
Moore/Moore 17+ pounds
Unkown 16.40 ish
Maderos/Unknown 16+ Big fish winner 6.80 ish smallmouth
Matkowski/Whitlow 15+

A more accurate report to follow.

Fun and good fishing was had by most.

Here she is. It was actually 6.59 lbs. Caught on a jerkbait in the Snake river. We had a sucky day for the first 7 hrs 45 mins. Had one bite all day. With just over an hour to go we hit a spot for the 4th time. Figured out they wanted jerkbaits and bam in 45 minutes we went from zero to hero. Caught a 5lb 8oz the day before on the same spot. Great tourney Richard. We had a blast.
