A big thanks to Radio for cooking the fud. BarryL for bringing those potatoes and dessert. Dave138 for picking up the great prizes and bringing your grill. Tap for making up those great award certificates and lastly all the club members who came out and participated. I had a great time today and look forward to next years tournament.

Very cool. I had a good time even with the wind, rain, and the brand new but snaps like it's old tippets I had to deal with all day. We need to organize more of these

[biggiedan]

wow that was a fast update. had a great time guys! and yes dave, we definitely need more of these outings!

[Slartybardfast]

Lets do two next year. I had an awesome day.

Organizing one of these outings takes a lot of effort and planning by lots of different people. All of which I would like to say "THANK YOU" so much for your efforts and participation! Don, Dave and I fished a stretch of the Tippe. that we had never had access to before and because of the tournament we now have access to this great fishery. I had a blast! From fishing, to exploring, to watching Don fall out of the boat, without getting hurt, ha ha ha! And especially the cookout and listening to all the stories from the day. We even had club members who weren't able to fish come and share the evening with us at the cook out! I'm telling you, WE have a GREAT bunch of people in this club!! Thanks Everyone for such a great day!

Sorry to jump in here a little late but hey I couldn't make this last year but I won't miss the next one! What a great way to spend time with club members. Thanks Radio for a very good day on the water look forward to many more.
Did some one say maybe two tournaments next year? How about an invitational? We have some great water to offer right here in Tippecanoe county and it would be a big plus in promoting our club. If we get the support from club members like we did this year it could happen.
