GLF Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I was unable to fish in the Brown Blast because it was moved to Sunday. My hats off to the Fishdog guys, Mark and Steve, for thinking of everyones safety and moving it to Sunday. I did however make it to the weigh in. I met a few of you and appeared that everyone that went out had a great time. The fishing was not as hot as what it had been this past week. No doubt the weather or Friday and Saturday scattered the fish. I did not get a chance to stick around and see who one the tournament. My youngest was ill and we had to leave. I saw some browns, coho, and kings being weighed in. Team Running Arends weighed in a really nice spring king. I believe this fish hit the scale at around 13lbs. You have to excuse me for not know everyones names. This next team weighed in a nice mixed bag of fish including a really nice brown. I believe their total weight was around 22lbs and they may have been the ones that one the tournament. We have seen the big fish of the tourney, now we need to see the little one. I believe this honor went to Team Six Shooter. Notice how tasty this fish looks as Jim is licking his lips Notice the extension of the fish to make this appear as a lunker If I had not seen it with my own eyes, I would have sworn it was an alewive. I amost forgot about one photo. Not only did Team Six Shooter have one Lunker, they had another. Those are two fish to be proud of It look like everyone had a great time. Maybe I will be able to fish in the Brown Blast next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midway97 Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I have to agree with Mike, The Fishdog Guys put on another great event AGAIN. Mark and Steve, not to mention the wives, did an outstanding job hosting the Brown Blast. The Fishing could have been better, but seeing old friends and meeting some new ones pretty much overshadowed the slow fishing. Even though the South lost the Trophy to the West again this spring, We'll see you in the fall . I for one, and I think I can speak for my crew, had a wonderful time and look forward to the next event. Thanks Again, Mark, Steve, Darla, and Connie for making this another memorable event. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker1 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Thanks for the great time and the wonderful hospitality shown towards both myself and my son. This goes towards all those who also came up and talked with my son and treated him like any other fisherman out there even though he is only 8! A special thanks to the Fishdog guys and gals for a wonderful time back at the "Lodge", and especially to Steve who let me and my son tag along and catch a few fish, and for showing him around in the "basement" so he could spend his birthday money. What a dream kid, his idea of a birthday present was to pick out his own lures!! Check out his face in the top picture with that king, do you think he had fun?! Thanks from both of us, Gary 2 and Gary 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big fish went to me (Running Arends) with a 12.2 lbs spring king and smallest fish went to Six Shooter with a king that would not even register on the scale.Here was the standing:1st place – Horseshoe weighing 5 fish – 3 browns – 24lbs – for a total of 89 points2nd place – Catfishhoge weighing 5 fish – 2 browns – 19.8lbs – for a total of 79.8 points3rd place – Running Arends weighing 5 fish – 1 browns – 21.4lbs – for a total of 76.4 points4th place – DonP weighing 5 fish – 0 browns – 22.2lbs – for a total of 72.2 points5th place – Fist Full Of Dollars weighing 4 fish – 1 browns – 12.2lbs – for a total of 57.2 points6th place – Sixshooter weighing 5 fish – 0 browns – 7lbs – for a total of 57 points7th place – Sidfishious weighing 4 fish – 0 browns – 13.8lbs – for a total of 53.8 points8th place – Fish-On weighing 3 fish – 1 browns – 11.4lbs – for a total of 46.4 points9th place – Adjusted3 weighing 2 fish – 0 browns – 10.2lbs – for a total of 30.2 points10th place – Reel Turner weighing 2 fish – 1 browns – 4.4lbs – for a total of 29.4 points11th place – SalmonSlayer weighing 2 fish – 0 browns – 8.2lbs – for a total of 28.2 points12th place – Midway weighing 2 fish – 0 browns – 6.6lbs – for a total of 26.6 points13th place – Ned weighing 2 fish – 0 browns – 5.6lbs – for a total of 25.6 points14th place – DangerDan weighing 2 fish – 0 browns – 5lbs – for a total of 25 points15th place – Andge weighing 2 fish – 0 browns – 3.8lbs – for a total of 23.8 points16th place – Leprechaun weighing 1 fish – 0 browns – 2.4lbs – for a total of 12.4 points17th place – Caznik weighing 1 fish – 0 browns – 2.2lbs – for a total of 12.2 pointsSpoon Fed and Brett came in with no fish.Now the South vs. West the standings were:South team – 37.26 points per bootWest team – 49.67 points per bootThe West ended up taking the Wooden Fishy home.Once again guys thanks for a great time and I’m looking forward to the King Challenge and bringing the Fishy back home.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
