MLK Tourny Day one 1/16/10

[VineAssist]

Today was day one of the Martin Luther King Tournament at the lake. A field of over two hundred tournament anglers showed up to via for a piece of the price and a shoot at a birth into the masters. A lot of quality fish where checked in today and it would take a allmost three pound fish to finish in the top ten.
Brian Carter topped the field today with a beautiful 9.8 Rainbow. Brian was trolling a Rainbow Trout Rapala in the flats when the big bow bit. Here is Braian pictured with his fish.

Ryan Messick of Chino Hills fished the West Shore from shore and caught this beut' while tossing a Red roostertail. Ryan's big rainbow weighed in at 8.14 good enough to earn him second place.Congratulations Ryan.

Gary Johnstone of Norwalk also cashed in on the big fish bite. Gary landed this 8.10 Rainbow while fishing at an undislcosed location with an undisclosed bait in fear that some one whould find out the secret to the big boys. Judging from where the picture was taken I d say he was fishing in boat dock cove?

I wasn't going to but since you started it, it's berth, too.

And wasn't an it awesome day? There was something very peaceful about it, even when the wind started. And for those in the magic spot, there was some pretty WFO trouting to be had. All about the blown half-crawler. BTW, did anyone get a bottle of that new garlic scent? If you did, how id it?

Lots of fun meeting up with everyone . The fish were being caught today I gave shore fishing a try but i'm gonna stick to the float tube. Overall another great day, nice weather and some prizes at the Vine. Tight lines guys and good luck over the next 2 days

Don't forget your rain gear tomorrow, 30% chance of rain

It was truly a beautiful day out there, an incredible day to be out on the water indeed. The Fish Taco hooked Sue, NoHo Art and I up with some lip ripperz and some of the new garlic product. I got 2 of my 3 fish using it so yeah I'm sold.

So is that stuff an oil, like ProCure? Or is it a thin, liquid dip? I never bit the whole fluoro deal, bit I'm a believer in the garlic.

It is a cross between the two, but I would lean more towards the thinner liquid dip description.
