THANK YOU everyone for fishing the Tournament! We had a GREAT time with all of you at the post tournament festivities!
What are the odds of a 4 way tie at 6.6 pouinds for Single Heaviest??? More trophies are on order guys! Congrats!
Congrats to Archie Faulkner and crew on the High Wire for an awesome catch of Five Flounder weighing in at 31.6 pounds!! We haven't seen a catch like that for a while. Nice Job!
Capt. Jim Lai (Ridge Runner) and Capt. Dan Avena (Gold Rush) also had nice stringers to take 2nd and 3rd Place.
There were alot of nice fish brought to the scales that did not win a Trophy... like I say every year, you are an impressive group of Flounder Fishermen!
