Congrats Jim and Brandon!
Well done guys. Looks like a tough list of anglers!

Thanks guys, James and I really had a good time Saturday night.

I was worried after we weighed in, I thought we had a little more weight. But our skinny fish held up!

A special thanks to Cy and the guys at Stanton Marine for always helping me out whenever I need it.

Tom, we'll see you and Jeff at CL.

Jeeez Brandon....We pitched our fish to try and get closest to 10 pounds and still couldn't come up with the right fish... . Congrats on an awesome performance once again.....

You guys should get docked weight for scaring my partner DougH with the rattlesnake in the cab of his truck ....It was funny as hell watching Doug drop his transom saver and do his best Jesse Owen's impersonation....I still think he should have grabed his chest and spun around twice and hit the parking lot with a few little foot twitches thrown in while holding his chest.... THAT would have scared you guys even worse than Doug.....Who claims he was looking right into it's eyes even though it's head had been blown clean off.....

[DougH]

yup, the old "Rattlesnake in the Carseat trick" get's them every time...
real funny haha

[bOber]

I don't know who was messing with you guys but it wasn't either of us.

You should have put a hook through it and went for the big bite!

Put it in the livewell???? No live or prepared baits It looked like it had been prepared with a 357 ....It was all in fun and we know all the usual suspects....Doug later confessed that he had done it to someone once.....ooooh. Karma payback time. For as not scared of snakes as I am I am sure I woulda done the same thing or worse.....Screamed like a girly man and run away most likely....I had no idea they had set "us" it could'a been me Thankfully it wasn't I'd watch for the big bannana next tourney boyz
