Haha yup my apologies. Very true. Top two teams had limits and 3rd place had 3 fish. 14 teams and 14 fish caught total. We had some
Shorts that's it though

Battery trouble forced him in at 1ish and while trying to trailer the boat he popped a tire.

today was the worst day I have ever had on the water, the wind was ripping 30 plus mph, batteries died by 1pm, had to paddle back against the wind, while trying to load the boat my truck got buried in the loose sand, somehow from spinning the tires I ripped the valve stem off the passenger rear tire, went flat, boat still in the water, no biggie right?? pull up and try to change the tire apparently there is a special shaped socket with a pattern cut in it (almost the same as a locking lug nut key) you need to lower the spare down, I have never seen this before, long story short didnt have it, had to have my buddy Jeff call AAA flat bed the truck all the way back to fall river, wait for kenny to drop his boat at home and come back to get mine and tow me home, the locking pin on kennys hitch froze that took another 1/2 hr to break off what a s*** show, just got home at 630

so....heres the results

Thanks to everyone for helping out due to the wind this one was a little rediculous from launch to weigh in even the scale could stay still with the wind, next event S Watuppa will be much better promise you that

Special Thanks to everyone who picked up their T Shirts from me, those who helped with my truck and boat and all those who text and called to be sure I made it home ok, much appreciated

nice job rich.

that's crazy neil. could've been worse i guess. at least watuppa is your home field.

Congrats to those that fought the wind and caught fish.

Neil on the bright side you should be out of bad luck for the rest of the year. You used it all up today. Good luck next week.

24v with 80lbs of thrust on the front and 12v and 55lbs of thrust on the back.

Yes rich we know you are full of HOT AIR!

My pockets will be full of Benjamins come Sunday afternoon at 3

Nice work Rich!!!! Like the babe calling left field lol
Tough day but I'm glad to hear everyone's ok

Niel, sorry to hear about your rough day. Been there before buddy, feel your pain.

Great job Rich and Tony. You guys shouldn't have poked the bear in the off season!!! In trouble now! Good effort by everyone, must have been tough in car toppers in that wind.

How do you keep the fish alive with a cartopper boat?
