Hey guys,

I have the seconf of three night tournaments this Saturday, July 10 at DVL. I'll be there at 4 and the tournament will be from 8pm-2am.

However, the last WON BASS night tournament of the year will be on Saturday, July 31 and will feature an Ironman style format. The event will feature a split weigh in.

The day bite at DVL has been insane lately and we thought it would be fun to take advantage of the best bite in So Cal right now during the day and top it off with a classic night duel.

The first segment of the tournament will start at 12:00 noon and first flights will be in at 6:00 pm. The second segment will last from 8:00 pm until 2:00 am.

The first segment will feature a 2 fish limit and the second segment a 3 fish limit. The total weights from both segments will be combined.

The cost of the tournament is exactly the same as all WON BASS night tournaments.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to call or email anytime.

Thanks,
Brian

wow ironman format... sounds fun, i'm in

Sounds like fun Brian.. Lets get this straight... for the price of a normal 6 hour tournament we get to go out and fish 6 hours, weigh in and then RELAUNCH and blast off for another 6 hours??? 2 fish limit for the 1st 6 hours and 3 fish limit for the 2nd 6 hours???

Count me and Guy in!!! Sounds like a blast!!!

Pretty cool concept bro...

Pete

You are right Pete! Thanks buddy!

Sounds like a blast!

This sounds fun, and something new to break the norm. I'm a 100% maybe

Yeah, 12 hours on the lake is always better than 6! Unless it's January, 45 degrees, and blowing 25 mph!

WE are in Brian!

good job Brian way to think outside the norm. I hope it goes well for you.

sounds awesome. I'm at the Delta right now and even though fishing is pretty good I'm still bummed I won't be at dvl on saturday night. The ladys got me up here for a wedding. Hey Bush Wick, best of luck at the Open you know I'm pulln for ya brother. Can't wait for the 31st

no membership required either.

Hey Guys,

Glad to see things came together for this final event, between our DFG permits and the MWD allowing us to do this type of format. The event should be a blast, as I have heard and unfortunately not seen, how good the afternoon bite has been. We are working very hard in the office and with our TD's, to create and come up with some unique and angler friendly tournament formats. This one event is just the beginning of what we have in store for the upcoming year, and years to come. I wish I could make the event tonight myself, but with the upcoming ICAST show, and the BIG SHOW......2010 US Open, I just have to much on my plate, and need to spend some time with my little one's.

I will definitely see you guys at the July 31st event, as this one is one of those can't miss events. Good luck to all the guys that are fishing tonight, and be safe out there.

oh what about grindage? I cant go with out food from 12- 3 or 4 iin the morning and cant eat a sandwhich on the weekend cause all I eat during the week is MANWHICH

Brian will we have access to a power supply to charge our batteries, never tested my batteries for a 12 hour session especially if its windy. Being able to to off my batteries for the second half would be ideal......

No, there won't be any generators out there. 12 hours is no problem at DVL provided you have good batteries. It would be one thing if we were talking 12 hours of power fishing at Mead or something, but it won't be a problem at DVL.

Besides, by the time the fist segment weighs in is over which will realistically be around 6:45 pm, you'd only have about 30 minutes to charge anyway since we'll be launching for segment 2 around 7:20.

what happened last night...???

Yeah Kevin's right. Shold be no problem.

I hope it blows 40mph and is 115 degrees. Oh wait, that's Lake Mead not DVL. Your batteries will be fine. At most you'll have to buy new one's after the tourney when you find out they are not as good as you would like.
Guy Williams
BTW, I'd recommend OPTIMA BLUE TOPS!!!!!

Guy is right! Optima's are the best!

Guy is right! Optima's are the best!

What's for dinner Brian? If nothing is planned please tell, mama will deliver me something if I need her too.
Guy Williams
Oh yeah, BUMP!

Yeah Guy.... Carissa said shed bring us some dinner . Shes coming anyway to watch us weighin and blast off again either way
..

Pete

You like Striper Guy?

Walt

Guy- Yeah, we'll do the barbecue!

bump

That's thinking out of the box. Bass tournament with adult entertainment between sessions.

Are strippers doing the BBQ? WOW, I'm weighing in early!! Call me Brian when they get to the lake, I'll stay in the small area with cell service no matter how bad the bite is.
Guy Williams

BTW, I saw a rainbow yesterday but not a double rainbow.

Yeah, I saw it too. Don't know why Pete wrapped his truck with rainbows!

Id wrap my truck with the words "IM BRIAN LINEHANS BIT.CH" if you paid for my tournaments!!!

Pete

PS.. rainbows are pretty!!!

B carful we will start a wrap fund for your rig

We're gona need some aderralls boys!!! Ohh yeahh!!!!

It's going to be a blast!

Are the options going to be the same as the regular tournaments?

Kev,
Jimmy said he will make pants optional for you in this tournament. You all in?

TK

Was thinking of mixing the options up a bit to make things interesting. More details to come.

As far as fees, the basic entry is $155.

How about a $15 big fish pot for the first segment and $15 big fish pot for the night segment? Pays one spot per segment.

In addition, a $50 "Top 5" option for the first segment and $50 "Top 5" option for the second segment. Pays to the top 5 teams entered in the option for each segment.

Last, a $20 "Winner Takes All" option to the team with the highest accumulated overall weight. Pays one spot.

The basic entry will be a 1 in 5 payback for the heaviest accumulated weight for segments 1 and 2.

This payback arrangement will really spread the money because in essence, this tournament will be run like two tournaments in one. A team can do poorly in the first segment and still have a shot to win segment #2 option money and vice versa.

In addition to the money, several WON BASS sponsors are donating various items such as rods, reels, glasses, etc.

What do you guys think?
Brian

Don't forget, we'll be launching around 11:40 am and the first segment blast off is slated for Noon. First segment weigh in is starting at 6pm. Once everyone weighs, we'll have about 45 minutes before we launch again for the night segment which should start around 8pm and start weighin in at 2:00am.

Make sure your boats are dry. I addition to clean livewells, lower your engine and drain all water before you leave for the lake. Also, open your battery compartment and check for water near the bilge pumps. DON'T GET ICE BEFORE YOU GET TO LAKE!!! You will fail! Last, jam your finger in the drain plug to make sure no water exists.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
Brian

Since you put it that way, we'll be there. I think you need to entertain the masses in between sessions...like they do at Club 215

Hey guys-

At the Ironman event, we're going to have a check in boat at both weigh-ins. The boat will be on the East side of the attenuator and it's mandatory that each boat checks in during their assigned flight cut off.

I've noticed in all of the nights tournaments this year that people are coming in late. Perhaps the teams that are still on the lake while the flight cut off time is over aren't weighing in fish.

Therefore, I'm making it mandatory that every team checks in before their assigned flight cut off.

Additional details coming soon...

Thanks,
Brian

great call Brian!

Walt

Dont be late or Brian will have his new "helper" come find you!

John ....Guy is gonna be pissed when he sees thats you posted that picture of him without his consent!! Just a warning to you...


Pete

Giddeeeeeeeeeeeup!!!!!!!!!!!
