I’ll make sure to be at the weigh in… Should be fun.

Sounds like a great time for a tourney on 14. I hope it stops raining sometime before then though…

What do you think Trigger? Wapo is going to be on the water, but he’s not fishing it.

Don’t have to worry about him tailpiping then I guess.
Just kidding Big John! I think it should be a great time!

If the river straightens out it should take on heck of a bag to win. I hope the weather holds for the tourney. Some of us might make some pretty long runs, that can be pretty miserable in sub-freezing temps. Should be a great time.

Yes we will be holding a tournament on 11/7/2010 out of Rapids City. We are hopeing to get 20/25 teams from that area and Iowa. With the 20/25 teams we have that will make a nice size tournament. If we can make this happen next year would like to have 2 tournaments on the Miss. Thanks Bob
