I seen your name on the list. Nicely done! We boated a lot of fish, just not the right ones.

[quote=JIM SR.]give the girls a break, how exciting do you expect fish weighing to be over the radio.
most of the people listening are the guys in the boats, keeping up with the times and the weights.
it's obvious they don't work for ESPN, I think they might work for KMOO, I love listening to their
'trying the best they can'...come on it's only fun. [/

You are correct sir but you must not have tried to listen.

Rather difficult to get photos over the radio.

I know what you are saying, but funny - that is how get so much info today. Over radio. waves.

Congrats to Mark Pack's team for winning the shoot out yesterday with a 2.15!

What were the final winning weights for the boats?

10.66
2.92

Skeeter Boats takes care of their owners, thanks once again for a record breaking event!

We had an awesome time, it was all you guys told me, loads of fun. Even though it was HOT crowded, we enjoyed the event. Fishing was tough Sat & Sun only caught slot fish, was still exciting. Looking forward to next years.

Saturday was tough for us with only two caught...much better Sunday with around ten..one over 5 and one over 6 but nothing to take to the scales...still a good day of fishing...anybody notice the spelling on this year's rod??

We crossed the stage 3 times, cashed 2 times.. You had to have a heavy 2 lber to get a ck.. The unders were chunks, obviously with a 2.92 winning the small fish award...
Windy as all get out where we found fish, I'm still tired from the T/M...

The best part of the broadcast was when she started talking about how pretty the mouth was on that fish. She literally spent about 2 minutes saying this fish had a nice mouth. .. man we had a good time at her expense the rest of the tournament.

We found a school of some huge fish on Sunday, and caught them like fast and furious. Largest one was 23 1/2 inches. We didn't get to weigh in, but that was one of the best days on the water we have had in some time. We could have killed at the TTBC. But ZERO for skeeter owners. Still we had a blast and won't forget this year's tourny for some time.

Anyone know what the final boat count was?

I believe they had 2150 contestants and over 1000 boats.

What a great weekend! Thank you Skeeter for all of the goodies. Love the Costas and love the TFO. Every one was so friendly and in good spirits. LFM accidentally gave away my RV spot so we had to go down the road to Lake Fork Resort. Initially I was ticked and backing my camper out of the place wasn't too much fun but we got it done. I guess in hind sight it was a blessing because it was a lot less crowded and easy to get the boat in and out on the fishing days.

We didn't weigh in one fish but it is now obvious what the lure of Lake Fork is. We pulled up to our first spot on Saturday and had one of the best days of fishing I can remember in a long time. First a 6.0, then a 5.5, then a 4, then a 6.5, 5.8, 4.5, and on and on and on...... We caught 29 fish and only one was under the slot. There were three fish under four pounds but the majority were from five to seven pounds. Two of the fish were 23 inches and we just felt like any minute a 24 was going to strike. I would bet it's a short list of lakes where you can pull up to one spot and have that many chunks hit your bait. I get it now..... I'm all about some Lake Fork and can't wait to get back out there.

The girls on the radio were comic relief. The one gal, bless here heart, could not say "The 22nd annual Skeeter boat owner's tournament on Lake Fork" and screwed it up almost every time. Then after the one goes into great detail on the role Skeeter tries to play in conservation by not allowing dead fish, having the tanks, early weigh in, etc., the other girl says look at that nice under..... It's the perfect size for my frying pan! Oh my..... Then the other one tried to tell her about catch and release. It was too funny.... and just one flub up after another. I see why some turned it off but I had a few friends cashing checks so we kept it on. It was small town radio at its finest.

Great event Skeeter. If I had one critique it would be how hot it was under the main tent. I'm not sure if big fans would help. I think it's just June in Texas.

Will be back next year,
Jackson
