It was a sarcastic post lol...

I was pointing out that just because there were a couple big fish caught during a derby with hundreds of people fishing, doesn't mean that the big ones are plentiful.

You haven't been to the Crawling Valley Derby for a few years have you. They have been using a net for quite a while.

Yes at crawling valley they use a sling.... been going for the last three years and they always had a sling. IMO crawling valley seems like the most legit tourny i've ever entered. There is only one weigh station at the center of the lake, so same scale, same guy using the scale etc. Usualy theres a conservation officer at the weigh in for the duration of the tourny helping record weights and overseeing everything.....

Default through the ice
I have heard that 5 trucks and 1 quad went through the ice, and one is in 30 feet of water, any truth to that story?

More or less what I heard. 5 trucks, a quad and a motor-home broke thru with one of trucks showing nothing but its tailgate when it was all said and done.

We about 200 yards away from where the quad(Friday) and a truck(Saturday) broke thru on the NE side (pretty close to the same spot). And then had a van go whizzing by us, heading straight for the breaker, right towards where the 2 F&W trucks and the truck they just got finished pulling out were sitting ... It had gotten by us before we could stop it, so a couple of us started yelling and waving our arms, and so did the people on the other side of the break... Luckily the van got stopped and turned around before heading down 30ft. Came over to us to find out what was going on, and had no idea about the breaker, nor could you see it by this time. The blowing snow made it very hard to see...

Rough weekend for some folks and their vehicles though.
