You would think the new owner of Snag Proof would want to make damn sure he leveraged every opportunity to create some excitement (for what very well could be the biggest boat draw tourney on the West Coast so far this year)with at least some basic 1st day/final day coverage/pics/standings/video to post on either WB, the Snagproof or the Anglers Press site and yet here we all still sit.......waiting, hoping, wishing on a Monday morning lookin for just a "lil sumptin sumptin" to make us wanna buy some Snagproof frogs and head out on the Delta/Clear Lake soon.
But no........nothing.
Very dissappointing from people who should have figured out long ago what West Coast Bass Anglers expect and need to stay engaged and help create the hype that keeps us going.
This aint rocket science guys. But whatever...its your company(s), not mine.
Well if they won't post the results ! any one know how the bite is " in general ? also how is "Lazy M" marina these days ? anyone launch there lately ?......
I thought I would jump in before this thread gets going in the wrong direction. I want to thank all of the people that came to the event. This was a lot to take on for my 1st ever event on the Delta. All of you were great!
Charley your comments are well received and I will try to meet the West Coast Bass Anglers expectations in the years to come. I agree with your comments and have written them down so I know what to do better next year. I am new at this and am sorry if we as Snag Proof let anyone down at this point.
As for the results of the tournament, my staff and myself have had multiple calls into Anglers Press (FPT) throughout the day asking for the results to be sent. They reside with Anglers Press at this time as they were the paid tournament director. The tournament director did a great job at the event and I should have had the results printed at the conclusion so I could post sooner. It was my mistake for not getting them at the conclusion of the event and I feel bad that I have nothing to put up at this time. This was a big lessoned learned. As of 5:30 pm Monday, I have not been able to get in touch with Anglers Press. As soon as I do I will get information out to all.
Charley, there are videos of the weigh in up on the Video pages of WB under the delta and on YouTube. I am not sure if you saw that.

Nope its the exact reason I haven't fish one of his tournaments in over 3 years (would have fished the snag proof but I decided to get married on the first week of august so anniversaries have conflicted every year)
Gone Fishin Marine and Ultimate Bass Radio were once again involved in this year's Snag Proof Open and the crew did a great job running this event that yes just might be the largest team event on the Delta all year. I am sure you will see the results posted soon and as Charley said we expect to see them ASAP and for those of us that fished it we want to see who we beat and who beat us!!!! Bobby did a great job as usual, it was great to see Connie and to spend some time with Nathan the new owner I think he has some great ideas for the future. Vince ran a smooth tournament from start to finish. If you missed it come out next year and if you were there you know it was a fun weekend!!!! Let's hear from the folks that fished it and had FUN!!!!!!!!!
Good Job Snag Proof

I'd like to say that Loren Jenkins with Trigger Happy Comfort Grips (THCG) did a great job of keeping fresh water on the fish and keeping the line moving. Thanks for keeping the health of our resource and sport going Loren. If you haven't tried a THCG yet, you're missing out!!!
Why was the day 1 blast off at number 82 at 11:00 am. I thought this thing was supposed to start at 11:00 and was timing my launch according to this schedule. Needless to say 40 boats went off before me.
1.) get a PA system that everyone can hear
2.) with 200+ boats launching don't change the start time unless you can communicate it to everyone effectively
Hey guys thanks for the updates so far and you know I'm not the type to bash. I just get frustrated like many of us when we see great opportunities to create excitement and hype for big events and the companies promoting them go to waste.
Vince and I know each other well and he knows how I feel about the importance of posting results quickly. So..... when stuff like this happens repeatedly, my tolerance level deteriorates quickly.
Like I said before, this aint rocket science and common sense should automatically make this a top priotity in any promoters mind.
Either way, it is what it is at this point and I'm glad to see so many boats show up. Congrats on the awesome turn out and to the Ramano's on their big win!!!
Best wishes to the new owners at Snagproof as well and I still consider your bleeding frog series the best open water frog I've ever thrown. I can walk it in place so easily and the hooks are way better than most guys realize for hooking and holding big fish.
Keep that fire burning guys I hope to fish the next one!
Great event. I had a blast. Fish could of ate a little better...wind could of blown a little less on Saturday....a few things could be improved on at the event....but blasting off and weighing almost 270 boats ... getting to see a bunch of old friends...IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!
Bobby B...sucks as an Emcee talking about my football team
Great job guys!!!!
