[troutdog]

WHAT A BLAST AT IRVINE LAKE WITH TEAM57....THANK YOU TO ALL THAT COULD MAKE IT OUT, OUR SPONSORS, SUPPORTERS AND TO THOSE THAT HELPED MAKE IT ALL HAPPEN! :Thumbs Up:

Hitts I think Pontoon said it well, way to carry the torch dude....but you were right too, it is the good people of FNN that take the time out of their busy lives to share a little food, friendship, personal experiences and good laughs that make it all worth it.

Saw we had a few close to duplicate pictures, but wanted to be sure and add a couple to the mix....

If you couldn't make it out you missed another great event, even the Team57 poparazzi showed up!:LOL:
http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj285/troutdog_photobucket/CoOpII022.jpg

The photo enthusiasts were not dissappointed as grand Marshall Trolly came bearing the traditional two bags of corn, ensuring we would all be eating our veggies! :LOL:
http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj285/troutdog_photobucket/CoOpII013.jpg

The event included world famous chef "Big Daddy" and his 4 star bbq pork....local celebrities Taper Steve and Chris (of "See Chris Fish" fame) can be seen enjoying the fine cusine
http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj285/troutdog_photobucket/CoOpII011.jpg

Once upon a time, a "tri-tip" once dominated the bbq landscape at these events, but now those days seem so long ago as "ChefTM65" is on a grilling hiatus, until the return of this legendary grillmeister there seems to be a new sheriff in town. :LOL:

All hail the "BACONATOR"!!!! Kudos to culinary artist Bobber Boy....
http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj285/troutdog_photobucket/CoOpII004.jpg

FNN's recipe section poster extraordinaire Osito along with ThisFool look on in approval as Bobber Boy watches his creation in slow cook mode :Wink:

This year's Co-Op raffle MC was non other than Dave the "FishingMcAnimal" and his soon to be better half. After raffling the first prize Dave goes flying past the on looking crowd towards his rod and set the hook!

Shortly thereafter a finicky mackerel eating bass joins the party, talk about having an audience!
http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj285/troutdog_photobucket/CoOpII019.jpg

The raffle was a success thanks to our supporters and fellow generous FNN members...Thank you again guys!

The KillaFishTaco reppin Bite on had lots of goodies in his box of tricks, thanks to Aaron and AnglerBros!
