Audrey, Joel and I had a great time!!! It was nice to meet a lot of you and put faces with names. Now, I have always been bad with name, so excuse me if I still can't put everyones screen name together with their real names.
Don, I will be sending you some pictures soon.
Congrats to all the trophy and money winners, and especially my fishing buddy Joel Willis who went from last year winning the trophy for the smallest fish, to this year winning second place in the biggest fish category!! Joel deserves Most Improved in my book!
LOST and FOUND
First the lost;
My fish cooler, it is blue with a white top, wheels and a big handle to pull it. Last seen at the cleaning station. We left it there when we went to start the fish fryers, came back later and it was gone.
Found;
Spatula, says "Don" on the handle, I'm assuming it belongs to the Texas Alien.
Serving Spoon, Black with no name on it.
Camp chair, kind of red'ish and says "RLEO" on the back
Red bowl with top, had a salad of some kind inside. Audrey says the owners name is Tony Brown.
All items are at my house here in San Antonio.

John, You can keep the spatula and think of me when turning your eggs. The RLEO is Richard's and you can probably let Karen at the gate save it for him. Tony Brown is one of the newby's and I will try to find his handle.
What a great party...busy working my website update for the GTG.

I had a blast. How about name tags next year? Name and forum screen name. Next year might even be bigger, due to word of mouth! Oh, quick thanks to the cooks and the ladies that helped set up the tables and food fare.....not to mentiion the fish cleaning volunteers, and everyone else that I may have forgotten. Your efforts were truly appreciated!

Susan and myself had a GREAT Time!
It was good to see Don, Linda, Mike & Marty again.
Cudo's to them for a great gathering.
It was good to meeet new faces like RLEO50, Parttime, Audrey, Steven,and several other. Cudo's to Part Time for his time and that hi-tech fryer. And the FEAST was awesome, I did not eat for a day and a half after that.
We even caught fish! We ended up with 16 caught, 10 good ones for a tourney limit, with 14 lbs + and almost a 3 lbr.
For fishing the lake 2-3 times a year and coming in a couple lbs out of the money, up agaist Cliff, Marv & gang and other who fish it a bunch we were very happy.
This event has grown and grown and turned into something special thanks to all who helped and showed up.
If you missed it, YOU MISSED IT!

I'm a humble fisherman in the service of our Lord.
Started fishin at 5 years old and can't stop.
I've owned a boat every day from age 16.
I fish for every type of fish in every different way.

I had a great time and enjoyed seeing everyone again. Thanks Don for putting this on.
I fished with a really nice guy that I hadn't met before the tournament-Mike Cox aka USMC_Gy_09 on the forum. Make him welcome on the forum and on the lake because he upgrades our image.

Got in touch with the insurance people this morning about the motor, got claim filed, adjuster has called and said he'll be here this afternoon. Can't complain about that. RGO and I had a great time even though we sat out to let Cliff have his dream shot of winning both categories. It was sure a great gathering, getting to put the faces with the names. So I don't miss anyone, I'll just leave it at hats off to all who did the frying, preparing, serving, setting up, cleaning up and coordinating.

Lonnie, the prize is yours. No one has caught a 5 pound large mouth bass when at our tourney, ever!!! Thank goodness the insurance is going to pay for your fortunate experience.

Jess, thanks for the kind words and partnering up with me. It was a great learning experience from a terrific guy. I echo all the thoughts already posted about the get-together. The folks that put this on and everybody that helped out should be applauded. Congrats to all the people that placed as well.
I wish my family could have made it out but my youngest daughter has been battling headaches and sinusitus. Her eye started swelling up after I got back on Saturday and by Sunday we had to go to the ER. It turns out that she has an intraorbital abcess in behind her eye. Just talked to the doc and it looks like we will be in the hospital for 5-7 days until they can clear it up. At least he is saying that she doesn't need surgery as long as the medicine can do its job. Poor baby is miserable though.
Enough about that. It was great to get to meet some fellow TFFers and I look forward to seeing y'all out there fishing.
Mike C.
