Thank you Irvine what a great time with a bunch of good folks. Maybe we can do a few late night fishing next summer ?Like one Saturday a month till 2:00 am I think last night showed there is intrest

Congradulations to all the three winners. Amazing fisherman who know how to catch those Big Bad Boys.

Had a GREAT time yesterday, thanks for making this special event happen Irvine Lake.....good fishing and perfect weather! I like Hometwon's suggestion, PLEASE consider a couple additional nights to be able to fish until 2am. With it getting dark by close to 9pm during the summer and having to be off the lake by 11:30 it just takes away from actually fishing at night(when cats bite best).

It was nice seeing all the familiar faces again, see you on the water guys!

Daniela,

I just want to express my gratitude to you for once again honoring the memory of our Friend Dana "Fisherman 57" Rea. I have looked forward to this tournament since you hosted the first one and I am looking forward to many more to come.:Thumbs Up:
I for one appreciate all the effort you and your staff put into planning the event and for the trophies given to the top three places in the catfish tournament. The potluck was awesome and it was cool to see the comraderie of team 57 once again. Good Friends, Good Fun, food and Fishing.........That's what it's all about.:Cool:

Thanks again Daniella and congratulations to Marty, Ronson and Phil!

Thank you again to Irvine lake and all of the staff for putting this great memorial tournament on. It was a great time and truly was about family, friends, and fishing. It was great seeing everyone out there.

[WOODWARD7]

It was a great day once again. Team woodward caught over 50 catfish total but half were released. Check out irvines website our pics are on there along with my 15.7 pound blue. I also caught a 9 pounder too.

[Big Daddy]

Thank you Daniella, for making this happen you said last year that you were going to do this and "You did it" I had such a great time. I feel like pontoon that I will be at all of them. I have met some really great friends at irvine lake and through "Team 57" it is truly a great place. That is why we sometimes get so defensive when people talk garbage because we know that you and the rest of staff truly go out of your way for all of us. I really appreciate this and I hope that your Boss's do realize this if not I would like there # so I can let them know. I can't wait till trout season just around the corner.

Congrats to those who recieved trophy's.

And congrats to all who were there because we were all "Winner's" for what we have recieved from these get togethers.

What Great group of BBQ Eaters at a Great lake. "Fisherman 57" is Proud and should be. He truly is missed and always will be.

Wingnut these are some great pictures there sure were a lot of smiles great report my friend.

Thanks to all, til next time be safe and God's speed

Big Daddy

[olfishergal]

WOW!!!! I had such a great time seeing everyone again, Thank You Irvine for putting on this wonderful tourney. I didn't
get to stay and fish due to a previous committment (Fishing of course, GCLA ladies whopped Ventura Co sports fishing gentlemen)
Let's make this tournament bigger and better than ever next year. As one of the legends, I will throw my hat in the ring, and call
upon all of T57 to support the memory of Fisherman 57 as he brought us all together as friends, family, having lots of fun, and true fishermen forever. Thank you all so much for the great food and a really good time. Til next year.
