"WOW".....Is all I've been saying when I try to describe the day I had to my friends and relatives, well that and arm punches. I must've punched Leo in the arm a hundred times

.
Before anything, I just wanted to say THANKS to you guy's that put this on. I've never been in a contest before, but this was like just a bunch of cool people fishing and hanging out. You guys did an excellent job of planning, execution and just plain old hard work. Get some sleep. You kept a bunch of fishermen in a good mood. The day was increadable out there on the water for alot of people(see pics). What was equally amazing was at the banquet and the amout of swag, gear, trips, food, and beer

you were able to provide

. Not a snag one, top knotch all the way.
And next, what I was trying to say up there in front of you guys, but I don't talk loud enough(and plus I felt like I was going to pass out), was that it took all three of us in "Tailchasers" as a team. Leo who worked his ass off to the last minute to get his sled in the excellent condition it was in. Not as common as some might think to be out on the water all day like that and not have even one thing go wrong with the boat. Hats off to you Leo for the hard work and the use of your killer boat. That thing is badass. We were also lucky to have Chris on the boat. Dude knows his shit, he has an incredable fish sense and put us on the fish deadnuts on like nobodies buisness(your the man)

. If your lucky to get one of these guys on your boat one day, you wont be sorry, easy to get along with and know how to fish. I was just lucky to reel in a couple of fish that I would be stoked to get ANY day, and to be able to do it on a tourny day just goes back to that word "WOW" again. The best part is that BD got a bunch of you guys/ladies under one tent so I could put a face/personality to your name, and you all were cool.
We'll post some words on our day when we get some pics together, cause I know the drill......You guys will call bullshit
Thanks again to you guys that donated your

time to make sure we had a good time.
Also, thanks for all that are giving props, that means alot to me comming from the caliber of fishermen on this boad. I can honestly say that I was a bit intimated at the captians meeting.
