the first year, it was 8" swimbaits or bigger "only"..raffo/vancleff won it w/16.54lbs and a 11.60 kicker("2" fish limit)...the second year, it was 6" baits or bigger...raffo/belloni won it w/12.94lbs and a 8.12 kicker("3" fish limit, they only weighed "2")...last year we went to mcclure and it was any lures 6" or larger...marxmiller/cox won it....... pedro has been fishing "REAL GOOD"

lately, so it should be pretty interesting......
"NICO" is 2 out 2 in this event here, and i'm sure he'll be comin' back to try and "3"peat

Come on man! I changed my AC Pro Team from the 5th to the 19th so I wouldn't be in conflict with your ABA and now this? I checked the DFG website and everything! What am I going to do with you?

Real good lately! Not for me, dec was very good for me, Jan got really slow. However I haven't been able to get out very much this month. Still sounds like fun, hope I can make it.

Looking forward to it. I am going to see if I can talk Mr. Rago into fishing it... He's been itching to show off his fishing skills... he's already proven he makes the best baits - now he wants to show you all how to put them into use!

I think I might hurt his chances but, what the heck it'll be fun.

Come on out and test your skills against the Swimbait master himself. I'll confirm he's in tomorrow - but, I am pretty sure he's ready!

I was just breaking your balls!! Actually, I want to change mine to the 13th! Already contacted DFG. Turns out there is a Central Valley WRL on the 19th at McClure. You probably don't want to change to the 20th anyway because there is a Federation Tourny at McClure then. Too many frackin circuits going on, can't get a date to save your life!!

That's great! I am getting hassle from all sides (DFG, BOR and fisherman) and it is best we such keep it "status quo". Hate to have the conflicts, but that's the way it goes.
