Darius' Halibut is a liitle smaller but caught on the day after!

Eric, did you fish the tackle you made?

I did with some...Just the lead head's. Which worked. Pretty sure my powder paint had zero impact! Jed was using some, I forgot to ask him if they worked.

Darius' is almost 1.5 feet shorter(i think someone said 30"). 48"/39lb was the winner!

Congrats, fellas. You guys are all officially hard core. I woke up to make Derik a bottle at 4:30AM on Sunday and it was pouring rain and howling wind. When I woke up again at 6:00AM the wind had died but it was cold as f**k and still raining.....so I took my ass back to bed. Didn't even fish the whole week-end, and still haven't fished this year.

Still had a great time, though! Kinda busy at work right now, but will post some pics a bit later.

Good to see the Sonoma Contingent on the podium!

Wheres the pics of the balut? Come on andy lets see chris video

Wow! very cool!

While my pics/vids load, I thought I'd share the team results for the last minute (experimental)
GS5 Team Compitition.
We had a total of 9 teams entered (would have been 10 but the NoHum Hookers didn't return the score card)
 and 47 anglers signed up.
Scoring was a Team Average format:
 Total scores of each angler on the team were added together then divided by the number of anglers on the team
 if they fished or not, or checked in or not.

Here are the results:

1st. place: SLAYRIDE
                  Total score: 3191 divided by 7=
                  455.71 Team Score
                 (Holy Toledo, O2B, El Dorado, Bird, Saltydog, Ravensblack, Jonesz)

2nd. place: MAIN-E-YAKKERS
                   Total score: 833 divided by 2=
                   416.5 Team Score
                   (Boogieman,Prophet)

3rd. place: LOCAL CONNECTION
                  Total score: 2327.75 divided by 6=
                  387.95 Team Score
                  (AbKing, Domenic, Brandi, SRJ, Redwoodfox, Jeff Riggs)

4th. place: LOOSE SCREWS
                  Total score: 3795.75 divided by 10=
                  379.57 Team Score

5th place: NORTH VALLEY SLAYERS
                 Total score: 921.5 divided by 3=
                 307.16 Team Score
                 (BanjoTad, MattS, Fisheducator)

6th. place: THE RINGERS
                  Total score: 693.5 divided by 3
                  231.16 Team Score
                  (Big Gabe, MontanaN8V, Matt Nelson)

7th. place: DAWN PATROL
                  Total score: 276.5 divided by 2=
                  138.25 Team Score
                  (Abman, 9er fan)

8th. place; HANGOVERS
                  Total score: 754.5 divided by 7=
                  107.78 Team Score
                  (Bait n Beer,Brdrophy?, Sledge, Dr. Fektavious, Randall Nelums, Chadrock,Shellback)

9th. place: A-HULLS
                  Total score: 306.25 divided by 7=
                  43.75 Team Score
                  (AlsHobie,Sara, BigJim, FM1, Cochino, Lapu-Lapu, SinCoast)

I hope all the teams had fun with it.
 I enjoyed doing it even though it was a last minute idea and not worked into the awards ceremony.
 Thanks MattS for having the  bucket of tackle available if we had the opportunity to award the winners.

Thanks Eric for allowing me to do this at the last minute and as always putting on an Epic event
I'm thinking if we decide to make this a part of future GS's we should have a perpetual trophy or award that the winning team keeps for a year, places the team name on it for that year, and returns it to the event the next year.

 Congrats to Team SLAYRIDE! Winners of the first GS Team Compitition.

Thanks all,
Tad

I'm not trying to downplay terry's Hali but look at the picture I just post, Darius' Hali is around 45" long (not 30" for sure).  Here is the picture of Terry's Hali & Darius' Hali.
