He's the sacagawea of the trinity. Don't mess.

That's awesome though. I wish I felt that confident in any body of water besides my pond

Really looking forward to fishing with you guys! Sounds like it's going to be a fun one!

Not bragging or anything just saying... lol. Ive probably fished this river more than all the contestants combined over the last 5-6years or more. Until recently I dont think people even realized how nice of a fishery the Trinity can be. I still get people just flat out amazed sometimes when I catch a fish from the bank or the yak asking me all sorts of questions about the river and what kind of fish are in it etc. I think more people are starting to realize it now.

Anyways just basically really looking forward to this tournament. It will be my first "real" kayak tournament and im looking forward to meeting everyone and having a good time. The guys at Backwoods are awesome for putting this on!

Hey im the first one to admit that a big head can get you in trouble! I don't think ill be walking away with this by any means. Too many other good sticks out there. Im just excited to be fishing for something on the river for once instead of just fun fishing it. Also excited for others to realize how great of a fishery this river can be. Maybe it will lead to better access and a cleaner river with more people aware of it.

If you aren't very familiar with the Trinity in Fort Worth and legal access points, here is a link to Streams and Valleys website. They are a non-profit that helps to promote the development of recreational opportunities along the Trinity and they have a pretty cool interactive map on their homepage.

I don't know how I feel honestly! I've enjoyed the secret

Does a hawg trough have to be used? Or is another measuring board alright? I already have a board and haven't been able to find a hawg trough and the rest of the week I don't think I'll have time to get out to get one.

Do we know how many have registered so far (and how many in each category)?

Yes, it must be a Hawg Trough. We do have white ones at Backwoods in Fort Worth for $19.99 + tax. We will have some for sale at registration for $20 even (cash only), but as the rules state you will have to take a few minutes to take a Sharpie and darken the lines on it to make them more visible in your photographs.

90% chance of rain Saturday...... I think I'm out on this one and will use this kitchen pass another day!

Jerry, 18 signed up so far. We did not have registrants designate a division online so we do not know how many plan to fish in each division. Everyone must declare a division at check-in.

So, is there a contingency plan to maybe just combine the entrants and fish heads up?
I don't have a problem with that if a bunch more don't sign up between now and then.

Yeah better bring some rain gear and water proof everything. Whats the protocol if there are really high winds and lightning in the area? Both make kayaking very unsafe.
