Dan, from myself and my nephew alias Rock Bass Johnson, we thank you and everyone for a well put together event. I had to leave early. Not use to getting up that time of morning.....Peace

[Team houston]

Another great time. Dartag put us on em big time. We caught at least 50 keepers. Also I won a rod in the free drawing afterword, WOOOHoooo.

[Durand Dan]

Great time and great company. Dan and I caught fish pretty much all day.   Lost a few and knocked at least one off with the net! Sorry  Thanks to all the members, the cook (Mike) and DK for a day to remember.

[Mike S.]

Once again, a great event.  Thanks Dan!

[bassfan586]

Had  great time.  The cookout afterwards was a blast.  Thanks again Dan!

[dartag]

Like all have said THANKS for all the work.  Also thanks to Mike for cooking great burgers and dogs..   Also thanks for not having it today.  I bet it is nasty out there today.

apparently DK had an in with mothernature, picking Saturday instead of today, cookout would've been alittle messy had we been able to even get the grilles lit.  Speaking grilles, thanks to Mike S for his handling of the chef's duties and to (  ?  ) who made like the calvary and ran off to secure plates and more cheese...make a note more cheese next tournament.  Fishing was disappointing for Cheetam and myself, though I felt I should've won the most outrageous catch with hooking that steelhead.
The afterglow party was nice and to Bob O who spared no expense on the brewskies.

Been studying the DVD I won, ( still think the fix was in, thanks dan ) its all over for next year...no secrets on st clair.

My nephew had a great time. He caught his biggest smallmouth and a decent size sheep head. My sister-in-law caught her first st. Clair smallies on her ancient yellow caterpillar lure. Andrew was excited about his new baitcaster rod and I've got a reel for him. I had him use a Grandt rod all day to make the connection with the purpose of the tournament. Laura is going to use the gift basket at her cabin up north.
Thanks to everyone for putting this together and allowing me to really treat them to the experience of LSC and the GLB community. Thanks Dan!
Thanks to mother nature as well, that was a pleasant surprise.

You are all very welcome. I was just kidding about that thing about if it gets any bigger I quit by the way. Cy set me straight anyway. Mikesmiph did an excellent job running the kitchen again! BIG THANKS MIKE!!

I will have a complete list of all the sponsor advertisers and people who donated more great stuff than ever before! It was overwhelming! I have to send all of them a HUGE thanks!

Thanks to all of you for showing up on a day that looked like it might go south. That was really nice. 59 entries with 28 boats. That is the biggest one yet! I think MadWags would be very happy with all of us.

Don't know about you but I was tuckered out yesterday and only got some minimal client work done so I'm behind on getting the results wrote up and done. Had more client work today and packing to go on the road for work the next two days so I may not have a full report with pictures (thanks very much to my new 'official' photographer - Dan!) until later Thursday. I've got to get up at 3:30am this morning! Yikes!

I don't remember everyone who helped or offered to help but thanks for doing so - I know it was a bunch of you! I thought it was the nicest, calmest, most friendly event yet and of course a great weigh in too!

Congratulations to Skip Johnson and LAPORTE for their big win! Congrats to BrianB for unseating bassfan586 as the Big Ugly champion. Brian, you were a big help too as always so I'm glad you won something (though it's pretty funny it was the Big Ugly prize ).

River Rat, I sure hope you enjoy that awesome Grandt Stealth Rod you won!! (Can I borrow it one day? )

I hope you can all be patient a couple days more and think about how much fun some of us are going to have this fall on Skegemog!!

I had a great time and so did everyone I talked to!  Thanks Dan for doing a great job on the tournament and thanks Mike for all the hard work on the grills!!!  Thanks to everyone for coming and bring food, drink and friendship.  GLB members are the best and events like this really highlight that fact for me.  I can't wait until next year.

I forgot, as bob o pointed out, there is also an unofficial event before that on Lake Ovid in August - the frogs only event. bob o is the big chief for that one and we aren't limiting it to GLBass members only - though I hope people who fish won't might joining to have more fun with us.

I almost signed up 3 members that morning when a bass boat pulled up to me and asked if they could get in! They didn't have a Weighmaster board and decided they didn't want to ask me to run back up and get a weigh in form, but they said they wanted to get in on the fun in the future. I like that.

Or this fall!?!

[mikesmiph]

Thanks for all your kind words everyone. I havent heard of anyone getting sick, so it must have been a success. LOL

[Team houston]

Question for Laporte. If you win and you are not there to collect, did it really happen? Kind of like the tree falling in the woods. lol

[independentMike]

Thanks Dan for a good job on running the tournament. I'd also like to thank the sponsors for donating all of the prizes to give away. I know we'd all fish this tournament even if there were nothing to win, but winning booty is always better.

Stop putting words in my mouth Kimmel!!!  I said next year...aka St Clair.  I am looking forward to the Skeg thing in Oct too but St Clair is special.

Sometimes....I don't know why I put up with you.
