Congrats on the win Slim. Or should I be congratulating Bill? Whoever the captain and shooters were, nice win. Hard-fought too.
Hey Rob, I heard you guys beat out 3 fan-boats to take second. Nice job!! Way to go, from the troller-ranks.
Bad weather and all, I wish I could have been there. Sounds like it was a nice turn-out.

I like this picture of Chris as he looks like the captain about to go down with his ship,

It was a tough shoot, but a fun time nonetheless. Heck, if it was always easy it wouldn't be half as much fun. At least we got into a bunch of fish after the shoot this morning. Near as I can remember, the few of us that stuck around to do some bank shooting ended up taking shortnose and spotted gar, common carp, bighead carp, buffalo and a dogfish. Not too bad for a "what the heck" afterthought outting. No goldfish though.
I really enjoyed seeing some old friends and meeting a bunch of new people. Thanks again to everyone who worked so hard to make this shoot a reality.

Here are more picures. http://www.siloutdoors.com/showthread.php?t=4947
We had several photographers there so there are still more pictures to come!
A hearty thank you to everybody who came to this event. A special thank you and hugs to Billy's family for continuing to come out and feed us and keep us company. It's almost impossible to keep a dry eye while looking at the pictures of Bill. We miss him greatly.
The tournament was a tough as they come. Slim and I agreed that the fishing would be tough, but we had no idea it was going to be that tough.Muddy wateris one thing....but the fish were all hiding out in the middle of the lake or something.I didn't think the cold snap was going to hurt us, but it did.
I had a great time tho'. It's wonderful just to see old friends again and I was very happy to see all the new folks there.
Thanks everybody!!
