BTW - There is no kayak as the grand prize this year because I screwed up. Sorry.

I'm not going to make it this year   I'll be fishing at Wallowa lake that weekend. 

Good luck to all that attend.

Looking forward to this.  From wounds of it both TP and I will be fishing this one!

"Single biggest fish" or "Single biggest bass"?

The answer seems obvious based on the tournament title, but it's always good to have really clear rules.

That would be "longest bass".  Either large or small mouth.

Thank you guys.

Single longest bass.
 

You didn't screw anything up Langston. You never had a shot at that kayak. Another HOW chapter had it locked down for a fundraiser later this year. It's going for a good cause regardless of whether we got it or not, so it's cool.

I'll be there for sure and one of those that has already signed up! I have a second going with too so that will be another person. Looking forward to this!

Captain and Mrs. will be there! Definitely hoping to get higher on the board this year, although we came away with some sweet prizes anyway.

Great prize list so far! I could definitely use any of that stuff.

This would be a stretch but that weekend may stay open.   Would have to drive in to arrive in the morning (blech!).  Sleep's overrated, anyway.

I'm digging through last year's info, are locations the same?  Launches?  Overnight?  etc, etc..

I can't wait.  dannybay and I did some recon of the area and I caught my first bass ever!  so what it was only about 7".  It was a bass.  The second one was a little bigger at 13".  Good times ahead!!

WTF! No kayak! Wah! Wah! Wah! I'm not coming!  You need to be more transparent Langston! We need to know how you f'd up. Damn! You guys have gone all corporate!

And WTF is this: "Just a sampling of the prizes:"  Why can't you be very specific and have it all layed out.  WE DEMAND TO KNOW!   

Oops! Sorry. I thought this was the ORC bitch-fest thread. 

Luv ya buddy!

On a more serious note, this was a fun tournament last year and I wish I could make it this year. Lots of bass out there.

That's a pretty good prize list. I hear those bomber suits are pretty nice. I'll try and make it. My wife is out of town so I may actually bring Tyler with me, which is probably a bad idea, but my she won't be here to tell me

Noah- I think I still have a wee little kid life jacket. But you probably don't need it.  When they are that young, they are natural swimmers...I think.
