In an effort to put pictures on this site,i'm working with software of a different nature

This response thread will picture cover "big fish" and first eight places

[fishin813]

[T.C.]

2nd place- Nate Shultz and TC Lloyd
8th place- Jeff and Dawn Brown

[fishin813]

You are so Correct young man...........My error...............
I had always spelled Nate's name Scholtz not Schultz
and must have gone "brain dead" calling you Singleton when i know your
Name is TC Lloyd.................

Bout the only thing correct on Tim & Dawn name was Dawn & Brown, up
at top on big fish i call Jeff (Tim) and down in 8th position i called Jeff(John)

Bad thing is i checked this over about 3 times before starting this posting...

Again, my mistake and i hope will accept my apology....

[das speck hunter]

You got my name right the first time Harold.

[fishin813]

Take that up with your "little fishin buddy", didn't think i was that far off, seein that
had name on my cell phone and your e-mail address...........duh..........

Glad to see you guys did good.........proud of you.........come play with us in 2012,
show us you are no fluke, but the real up and commin generation..

[T.C.]

Fluke? your joking right? you are one jelous dude. I finished 5th at Sante Fe (with NO ELECTRONICS, I had a bad connection and couldnt fish any of my brush piles), 4th at Astor ( a place we aint never fished with only one day of pre-fishing), and 2nd at the Classic against 29 other boats.

[Capt. Mike Baker]

Harold,
I just want to say that I can not thank people like Daryl and Teri Cole and yourself enough. You all have done a great job and believe me I understand what you are going through to get the job done for I have been in your place when I started the club years ago. My many thanks to you guys and everyone that helps. Also I want to say that there is not a angler that fished our Classic that is not worthy to fish the upcoming Crappie USA and Crappie Masters tournaments that will be here in January and February and hopefully they will Qualify for their Classics also. If the number of Florida Anglers we have were to fish the upcoming tournaments believe me they will look to put on more tournaments in this area, we just need to show them that Florida anglers are willing and able to compete. Again I say THANK YOU and if I am not busy on a guide trip I hope to see you all at the next Tournament
