All,
We are going to add a tournament on July 8th, we had a two week gap in July without a tournament so, we decided to have an extra tournament, two weeks is too long without a Grand River Open. We also have extra plaques so, whoever wins this tournament will also receive plaques. Because this tournament is not on the schedule we will not count it towards the Angler Of The Year totals.
Thanks, See you on the 24th!

Thanks for another awesome Sunday morning!  Can't make it Sunday but hopefully the one after that.  Really starting to pick up on a few things and it's awesome to see what other guys can pull out of there.  22 boats is awesome! The best thing to do on Sunday is fish Grand River Opens!

If I weighed the wrong fish you should have let me weigh the other also, all tournaments I have ever fished let you weigh two bass for big bass.  Oh well I got big bass anyway.  You guys put on one of the best tournaments in Michigan!

Week 5 results and Heavy Weight Title Race attached.

[Braidman]

Just a little clarification on the "Points Race"
Because we are having a "Individual Heavyweight Champion" and a "Team Heavyweight Champion" if you fish solo those points go toward your individual total, if you fish with a partner or partners those points go toward your team total.

Thanks! See you July 8th  No points for this add-on tournament

Congrats on the Big Bass win. Most tournaments I fish make the angler pick out ONE bass. I think part reason is to help speed up the weigh-in process. You can weigh them in and tag the big bass in your boat so you know for sure. I usually just guess. Probably wrong most of the time. LOL!

Jayson can't make it on the 5th. If I fish by myself next week, will my weight go towards our total or be counted as me fishing by myself?

[Braidman]

Because of a Individual Heavyweight title and a Team Heavyweight title, if you fish alone those points or weight  will go toward the Individual title. If you can  grab a sub.
