Thanks for getting things organized, Mando. You had a good idea that turned out to be a fun day on the water for a lot of people.
There was a great turnout from the TFF, and it was really nice relaxing and eating Randy's fried fish after the weigh in.
Today was my first time on the lake, and my guide Cellis did a good job putting us on fish.
I hope there's another one, and I'll be back for it if I can.

I second the salute to Mando.  He did a great job of running the show. I think a lot of people had a good time. And thanks to those who did a lot of the tasks like cleaning the fish, cooking and cleaning up afterward. I reached way, way back into my two trips to Benbrook to help our cause, Joe! Thanks for the ride. I would not have been able to hang in that wind in my boat.

Mando and Anton did a GREAT job!!! You guys did really well for your first tourney - looking forward to fishing and helping with some more.
The TSA guys Randy Wood and CapnJoe got right in there and helped doing a great job too. Randy can cook up the food and his fish coating is AWESOME!!!
Mando set this up so we could have fun and meet some TFFers. I got to meet some new friends and some that I have fished with for a long time but had not seen in a long time either. Can't wait to see the pics and Mando's report of the tourney results and what he learned!!!

A job well done by all involved. Thanks Mando for organization. Thanks Randy for the fried fish, that was very good. I wished I had paid more attention to what you were doing.
Thanks Anton for providing the place to meet. and all the work you put in.
Special thanks to kmoran for allowing me to fish with him. I don't think it would have been pleasant out there in my little cork.
I wish I could have been able to stay longer and I apologize for having to leave before clean up time so I owe clean up and fish cleaning on the next one.
Oh, and since I was asked, yes the combination missle and harpoon launcher was missing from my boat but, as you are aware, they don't let you in the park with an open display of firepower so I had to leave it at the front gate.

Congrats on the event! Sounds like everyone had a great time. Nice work Mando!
Sorry we weren't able to make it, we were worn out after a 24 hour session at Jason's slip catching carp and buffs lol, and spent the whole day...well...being zombies lol.
