Well done guys, It sure was a fun day of fishing despite the rain, sleet and hail 
nice job 
Another great Full Throttle event on pool 4. What a basket of fish for Tommy and his partner. Great job by Everts and all the crew on hosting the event.
Very impressive Had em all by 9:30 in the am… Id be happy catching that many over 8lbs in a summer!!
wow, thats an impressive box! any word on the presentations used by the top teams?
These were the presentations that were mentioned: trolling, rigging and 3-waying live bait, dragging, and pitching
As good as Tommie is he also had a partner. Just thought Jeff Lahr out of Dubuque might want a little love also. Great job guys thats one hell of a catch.
Thanks bluranger, I didnt remember Tommy’s partners name. I am sure full results will be posted sometime this week
do you know which pool the top weights came out of?
Way to go all! It was a fun day and very interesting day weather wise. It was a fun day of fishing. Sure wish I hadn’t lost that big fish. I will go over that in my head several time to try and figure out what I did wrong! If only it had been closer to the boat Jessie would have jumped in after it!

4th pool 4
Well, Mr. Skarlis demonstrated why he is one of the best in the world-great guy and just as nice in person as in front of the crowd. His partner was absolutely no slouch himself and an old river rat from the Dubuque area. A wise person once told me that a river guy can catch fish anywhere–well, two ole river guys came up here and did a good job-even if their prefishing involved morel mushroom hunting on Friday!!
i know that a lot of tactics were employed in the tournament. but did they divulge if a certain presentation was the “go-to” to put the big fish in the boat? something obviously worked well to put that big of a limit in the boat.
You can see results @ http://www.ftfishing.com , or I’m going to do a seperate post with them also. That was VERY impressive, thanks to everone that fished, and we hope to see you again soon.
