Day Two of the Presidents Day Derby with more big fish!

[VineAssist]

Stunning! Is all I can say about the sheer quality of the fish coming to the scales the past few days. It seems like every fish I have weighed is in that 3-5lb category. The fishing has been absolutley phenomenal the past few days and it was no exception today. Like yesterday it would take a 5lb plus fish to crack the top 10! Lets go to the pictures.

9lb 8 oz lunker rainbow caught in Woody's cove on garlic powerbait.

This was the scene of todays raffle. Nearly 157 anglers showed up to ply the waters of Irvine Lake for the money but more importantly to score a shot at the Masters tourny. We added a litttle wrinkle to our raffle today and want to get some feedback from those in attendance. We throw out some raffle goods to people in the audience. It seemed to be a big hit from the way people where acting.
