[Whirlpool]

Kendall, looks like we are going to have a small turn out. at least we can beat up on ken tho. Doubt if a cook out would be worth wile.

I do not have all the names and numbers. SURE CRISTINE WILL POST THEM SOON.
Can tell you that there were only 4 boats not counting the CIRFC FAN TOON. Our winning 6 fish was 36.1 pounds which averages 6# per fish is way above the average typical fish foe clinton. The main point we beat Ken & Jarrad (his ace in the hole) by a pound & half. We did have a big fish and most fish side bet going. We again managed to nose them out by around a pound with a 8.3 pound carp. most numbers was a non-club member boat with 55 fish of which about 15 were tiny shad but they all count. most boats averaged around 15-17 fish. lots of pull off's we had 10. water was great. clear little wind, most of the day no sun tho. I'd do it again in a minute.

Well it looks like Ken couldn't keep the Aces in the boat.

Let's see...

There were 4 boats. We had a $20 per boat entry fee for numbers and big fish plus the "coveted" Brass Carp trophy.

First place in numbers with a $90 payout went to Charlie Robbins boat with 55 fish.

Big fish was 8.1 lbs and was taken by Billy K. that paid a whopping $90 prize.

Tracy's boat won the "worst fish barrel" award and netted them a $50 prize.

And now for the news you've all been waiting for...drum roll please.

The Brass Carp was won by Johnny B. with a 6 fish weight of 35.6 lbs (I may be off with this weight)

Thanks to all who came and enjoyed a nice day on (or in) the lake. Congrats to the winners. Thanks to OutdoorsExperience for the donations.

As you all can see how clear the water was. It was the best shooting conditions that I have ever seen at clinton. Still did not keep us from missing our share. I think it was too clear, as I kept shooting high.
