Big thanks go to Mark Bellotte (Cooknfish) and Bill Howard (Heywood) who helped obtain the topwater lures and the jig heads. They helped to put together a great assortment of lures that I think all the anglers were very satisfied with.
As always thanks to all the anglers who participated, hope everyone had a good time, it is the guys that compete in the series that make them so much fun. Hope to see everyone and more at PFTS #3 in December.

Congrats to the winners, thanks to Todd, Rik, & MarkM for an entertaining Saturday.
My wife was thrilled to find I brought home a new kitty litter container. I'll be sure it's empty before bringing it back!!

Congratulations to all the winners! Thanks to all the sponsors and everyone who helps bring these tournaments together. I had a great day and caught lots of fish but just couldnt find that illusive snook this time. Dave take care of that trophy jug, maybe all of our names will be on it some day!

Re: PFTS #2 Final Results-Updated
Always a great time! Thanks to all the tourney organizer's hard work in this one. I can only imagine the monotony of packaging up those angler bags. The lure selection was great, I caught trout on the jig with soft plastic, weedless hook with soft plastic, top water lure and my red nailed the spoon. Many thanks as well to the sponsors and of course all the winners!

Congratulations to all the winners. Thank you to all the sponsors; it was a pretty cool bag of tricks. And of course, thank you Todd, Rik and MarkM for making these fun tourneys even for us sucky fishermen (honest, I do catch fish...Just not in these tourneys...Go figure).
