Thread: Lake Monroe Slabfest...Great Success

Thank you Mike for organizing a superb slabtogether. The weather bums were wrong as usual, light winds in the morning and the fish were cooperating. Phantom, see the fish gods didn't forget you.................

I had a great time yeasterday, fished water that I haven't been on in years, met new friends and sent Sunshine home with a cooler of fish.
We didn't catch the numbers that some of the others caught but had enough quality fish to make it more than worth while.
it was great to meet some of you and put faces with names, looking forward to the next one.

THANKS to the man upstairs for 2 great days of fishing & to Mike/Speckanator for another successful event as well as others that chipped in....yes the wind held off just long enough...add me to the SHAME list for picture-less, I know many enjoy the BIG fish pics & many came to the scales....good to meet many new members & rekindle the day's fish tales with the our main stay group...missed some others that had commitments...was a pleasure to meet Mr. Hamilton & Mr. McGhee from FCC, glad to see ya work out those health issues enough to be on the water Harold, now we just need the same for Linda/CG....see everyone at the next one....

putting a face to the CdC handle

Finally after 6 yrs was able to work it out to come to Slabfest. What a day in am, trying to find place to park after
launch - Thought my partner Kenny had gone to Sanford - to park - took that long.
We started in and were at dock by Noon, but loading a finding a place to park, culling fish ...
Was Bummer - was hoping for "fruit har" - Only have one more operation to go through
By time we reached weigh in - everyone was eating - scales were opon and was told to go ahead and weigh
Must say this was best day i ever had a Monroe - catch wise & weight was.
Our 5 fish weighed in at 8 lbs .05 oz (if we would have weighed 7 fish, as FCC show, would have been 10 lbs 8.11 oz)

Again, thanks for invite we enjoyed

Harold, having read your posts and gone back and forth on different subjects over the past months, I'm real glad that you were able to put it all together to be here. Very nice to meet you and Ken. And the chance to see that super boat you brought back, also real nice. Glad you had a good time and a safe trip home. Til next time......Skeet.

Thanks Skeet - Did have good time - just didn't get the time to talk with everyone.......Saturday was a lot of fun, but
very tiring. It looked like your Slabfest was a good turnout.
Ken has & is a great partner - he really watches over me besides being an excellent fisherman - Back in late Sept.
he made it very clear to me that if i couldn't walk he wouldn't put me in boat - what a therapy trainer he is
Later

Looks like a large time was had by all. Congrats on a great event. We had our fun at Talquin. Missed you shu. Maybe it will work out in one place or different weekends next time. Great jobs guys. D
