You know it is a long battle when he first started fighting the fish Theresa was wearing jeans then by the end of the battle she was wearing shorts!!!

Very Cool. I will try it next time I need to spool a line up.

I would have to see that to believe it. I used to run standard braid and it was HORRIBLE as far as fleas grabbing on. I wonder why Fireline is different?

If I were on the crew of the Dipsy Ranger I would print that bottom picture and frame it. That is a great picture!

Go get em!!!

Sweet. No pics?

Although I would have preferred that the event be postponed I understand that no matter which decision was made some people would have been unhappy. My guess is that if it were postponed several people would have been on here stating that the was NOT a "small craft advisory" so why postpone it? I would have enjoyed it much more if it were postponed until Sunday but I'm sure many people had other plans for Sunday. Running an event like this and volunteering 100's of man hours to put it all together is a thankless job. Tom and the rest of the volunteers put on one heck of an event and should be applauded. I understand the frustration about having a smaller boat and getting stuck battling against much bigger boats that are capable of handling bigger water. Last year I was that guy fishing in the 22' boat and getting beat to death in those 3-4 foot waves. I made the decision to go bigger so that I could at least try to compete in those big waves. I must say, it is much easier in a big boat but it is exponentially more expensive. Trust me when I say it would be much cheaper to pay $800 for a tournament and forfeit that money than it would be to buy a 37' boat, fuel it up, equip it for fishing, and take it to another port for the chance to win a few dollars in a tournament. On our cruise back to Sodus Point Sunday morning my wife said "That was really a great tournament. The food was great, it was really organized, and it was a lot of fun." Then, this morning on the way to work one of my team mates called me and said. "man, that was a lot of fun this weekend". My comment was "yes it was, but those waves sucked"

Ditto. Great job Nick, Theresa, and everyone else. Nicely done once again.

very nice
