OOOh, tough choice, cash or Cuba.

Now how many 20 ga rounds can I buy with 5000.........

Maybe mount my first WH......... and I bet it will be a 2x2 too.:p

It was 30$ to enter. Not sure how many folks entered, but was definitly worth the entry fee, lots of door prizes and seemed well organized.

Only problem I had was it was supposed to be a catch and release derby, which it really wasn't.

Re: Sounds like a great tourney...real fishing to..
 

I heard rumor that there were around 800 entries but there were a ton more fisherman than that. I had only one bite but the 3rd prize fish was caught 50 yards from me.

The biggest fish gets $2000 2nd gets $1000 3rd gets $500.biggest youth pike got $100. largest White fish got $400 and youth whitefish was $100. There were 900 tickets sold. Great time had by most.

Newell details
 

Adults is $30, kids is $10. Usually between 500 - 1000 people depending on the weather. Usually lots of safe ice, but not always. Tons of GOOD draw prizes. New rules a little schetchy, but lots of fish most of the time.
