Nice Work Chad, hard work pays off… and i do belive you took the luck out of my boat the first tournament this year… Good luck at the big dance…

Dusty

See ya up in B town…

Nice job guys… Great accomplishment going out and finishing that well… You guys were up agianst some stiff competition and pulled it off nicley… Eric it was good to see ya at lunch the other day… Sorry i couldn’t talk more i was with the boss…

2 of my fish were Fizzed and they were lost… I have never got a dead fish penelty in my life… They checked our live wells at Red Wing Last year…? I also think the boys that work at the flw are the best in the buisness i wouldnt want anyone else incharge of my fish…

I do have to say that last year the Tank saved me and my fishes lives when my boat broke down… They let me put the fish in the tank and after working them and getting them used to water they were fine & i did not fizz them at all, they stayed fine until weigh in 4 hours worth… Then the day proceded to get warm and calm resulting in the same thing more dead fish for the other contestants… I have seen both ends of the tank good and bad and i will take this and learn from it… on a calm hot day kill tourney… they should look in your live well, because if a fish is dead in my livewell i will take full responsability same with the tank on a live release weigh in… more cents worth

I also am a little steamed … Alive fish in the livewell then to be instently dead all 4 of my fish were counted dead…? I am more disapointed on not keeping one of the 16 3/4 i kept letting go, but if i think of it that would have been counted dead to… I to don’t want to get on the bad side of FLW that is why i kept my composure on stage even though in the back of my mind 7 14 was going to be a big deduction comming 4 14 OUCH … I just think they should have looked in our live wells before going up to the tank like July on the river last year… I hope they do this on Bemidji…? I am taking this as a big learning experiance and i hope the FLW does to and now i know what to do in the future… Also did you know Chad had a dead fish penalty. Happend to be the fish he caught 10 minutes before weigh in??? Something was not right in that tank… I was also a test dummy for the DNR study i wonder how that turned out???

Great Job guys…

Nice Job Chad you were on some piggies… I pre fished that spot and we had some dandies on and came up with scales just never caught a fish and got too frustrated with the snagging… Nice work… I think i still had a little luck left considering i made the way in getting out of the lock at 2:44 and i had to weigh in at 3:00 i think i had about 20 seconds to spare… Dave Schultz is a good dude and great stick to have in the boat…

Count me in for all of the events… Started out about the same this year 29th lost some fish that would have helped… John I don’t think i have anymore luck left…

Congrat’s Guys job well done… I had a great time with you boys this week… I wish we had a river event again this summer… Later

Dusty

Count me in, Eric I was looking at singing up and we have to wait until the 27th of this month… Sully how did you find Sonny’s e-mail? do you happen to know what Kevin’s e-mail is our tournament director??? Thanks

Eric is right,I will be testing my snowboarding skills in Montana… Otherwise i would be fishing that or Trap Attack…. You guys have fun and lets hope it is not this cold out when the tourney rolls around… Later

Hey guys,
Bad news, i can not get us a copy… My friend who made the video told me we have to wait until it comes from FLW… I guess it makes sense other wise they would not make any money and possibly lose FLW contract… Sorry Boys i gave it a shot… Check out these guys website they due some great work!!! And they are always looking for more work….

Check out he Demo video…

Boys, Sorry i have not responded! been out of town and i get back this next monday… I will let you know when i get a price and more information… later

Hey guys my friends make the show for linder media and they are going to hook me up with some DVD’s of the event next time i see them i will get a few extra… Later

strongly agree with everything you guys are saying… I like the way this format is set up… I have made some very good friends this year Boater/Co format… I trully belive this helps a boater prepare for the FLW Tour. I also think the co’s learn so much…there is other ways of getting more boaters and co’s instead of changing to a team format…

I am still in the air for what I will do if this happens…

hope they reconsider…

Dusty Minke

Thanks Cory and the rest of the crew here on IDA… Eric is a great partner and what a small world, we grew up close to eachother and went to the same college… What a great day and time in the boat with Eric, trully a new lifetime friend… Despite the problems we caugt the right fish and made it in… Thanks guys
