Ok boys, there she is. I have extended the tourney to 2 weeks long this year. No more " I did not have time to fish".

Last years winner was sean. Lets not let him do it again. speaking of the devil anyone heard from him lately?

[Sean]

What's up fella's.. Most likely won't have a chance to give the contest the attention that it deserves this year as I am preparing/and anxiously awaiting the possibility of the fall run of Blue Fin Tuna (My new obsession) in our offshore/inshore ledges. Hopefully after the moon on Monday the bite will pick up and I can finally put one in the boat! Ever since my 1st trip out, I have been over whelmed with the amount of life we have just off shore, flying fish, whales, porposes, dolphin, turtles, different species of bird and most import TUNA!!!!!! Good luck Guys!!!

[C YENSEN]

WHAT YOU DONT THINK ONE OF THOSE TUNA WILL WIN IT FOR YA

HOPE YOU RECONSIDER.

Lumber's daughter was in the tourney last year and will be again this year. Wondering if we will let other people sign up as well. My fishing partner wants in as well.

any opinions?

[Blue_Runner]

Did we only do one week last year? I can't remember. I do remember the 1st annual tourney lasted one month and we had 13 or 14 paying participants....I'm sure Airslot remembers since he won the darn thing with a fish market flounder
I say heck yeah lets sign up as many as possible. Just remember let's all make sure to be HONEST, meaning no cheating. That is one thing we risk if we let outsiders get involved. I say if it is a close friend of a member or an extremely good trustworthy friend we should allow them to enter.

Besides, I could use the extra cash!! DOUBLE HARDY HAR!!

[Airslot]

I'll be in, not sure how much I'll fish that period as work is busy. I'll talk trash when it get closer to fishing time

[macojoe]

My money has been sent!

[overboard]

Wow, I'm in!
I doubt I'll have a chance in hell at winning but who cares? It will be fun.
