First I would like to say thank you to all who attended this weekends Middle River Tourney.
A BIG congratulations to Chris Zelenka. on the win of this tournament.
His name is becoming a familiar name in the top places. Look out!

Also a BIG Tadaboy goes to IFISH (Nick) who brought in his first limit in a BNT tournament.

Weights were surprisingly low for this time of year.
Some anglers reported the morning bite was on fire till around 10:00AM the bite turned off.

For myself I got into some of the mornings’ bite using a Mission Fish.
I switch to a 7 inch green Senko to complete my limit.
Culled two small fish to place first out of the money.
Still a great day to be out on the water.

A big Thank you goes out to BuzzzzzzFish in helping have a great weekend.
Look forward to the BNT’s Clear Lake OPEN May 22,23, 2004.
See you all there!

FISH STORY
Saturday night. Around 11:30PM I walked down below the barrier. The Tide was going out. Gave try in tossing the 4EYE for a minute. Wasn’t long before I got whacked and was battling a big Striper. OK here’s the fish story: After figuring out she’s to big to pull up onto the rocks I asked Clint to run up and grab the net from the truck. After a few good runs and the game of tug of war she comes up spent in front of me. I was handed the net - while reaching out to net her she came unbutton and off she went. Don’t know what I’ve what of done other than let her go. Still was great to have hooked up and battled.

Big ol striper, that must have been cool. Any Idea how big it was? thanks for the report and congrats to IFISH on his 1st of many limits

Well thats a fish story if you don't weight the fish or have pics.

If I had to of guess I'm good with saying in the high teens or better :P

By the end of the week she will be as big as a VW bus..:+ JK
