| It was a good time, indeed. Thanks again to Andy for coordinating the tourney, and to Jim for setting up the after party at Pazzo's. It was a great place with great people.

| It was great to meet more members: Maggie, Celeste, Mark, NJ Ron, Dr. Tom, Mike, Tony and their wives, Justin, Clifton, Jack, and of course all the regulars, Jim, Brad, Eric, Bob and Fishcounter Bob, Roy… if I missed anyone don't feel slighted, I'm just very tired. Pazzo's truly rocks! A really comfortable room that was perfect for our small crowd of 2 dozen or so, The owner and her hubby couldn't have been nicer and twice as accommodating. First class chow, Chili cheese and tortillas, awesome sausage and meatballs, A Brushetta with such a garlic aroma, we could have leveled Tacoma (very sharp, Brad, picking up on that Zappa reference) and some perfectly steamed mussels rounded it out. Lots of great prizes raffled off. NJ Ron generously re-raffled a 130 class rod, which was won by Clifton Seabury. Jared Elwell took the 30 class and Mrs. ReelCrazy nabbed the 50 class rod. Beautiful rods by PJ Wholesalers. Eric Seabury (I believe) won the Old Mud and Reel Draggin' Tackle gift certificate for $100.00. I don't recall who won André Ledoux's (Sea Donkey Charters) donation of a Rapala lip gripper with 126# scale, I think that might have been NJ Ron, too. I think Jim's wife Celeste won 4 things, can't remember what, all of which she re-raffled! Anywho, a great time was had by all, I hope, and everyone who weighed in a fish got a tog tourney tee to boot (Albatross, Eric or Clifton has a shirt for you too, we couldn't decide on L or XL, so we gave you both). Brad as far as those hoodies go, we're all squared up on those. I got enough proceeds to pay for the printing and garments as well as cover the shipping charges for the 1st and 3rd place winners who didn't show today. I'm glad you and Mag like your collectors items, Bob. Don't wear 'em out. Another thank you to all who participated, what a great bunch of guys and gals.
Regards -Andy

| Very well put Andy, and thanks for the "square up" on the hoodies. My wife loves it, as do I. Great stuff, great times. Appreciative to all who participated and attended. This is what makes NBS a great place with an awesome membership.
