BASStard Feedback

djod1985: Thanks for putting this event on. Had a great time regardless of my ability to catch a fish that day.

Drunken BASStard: I had a great time fishing with all the members, and some of the others not yet on the site... Even you Derek. Thank you all for coming out and making this successful. Crazy and Lucky, you outdid yourselves again. Thank you.

Derek: The tourney went well guys. You did a great job setting it up and it was nice to see it almost double in size. Next year we are going to need a bigger lake, that has more than 8 fish in it.

International: Aside from the horrible fishing the tourney was a great success. Twice as many anglers and everyone had a good time. Looking forward to next year's tourney

Bassholio: Thanks again guys, had a great time. Fishing has been slow everywhere, not just there. I think they are all in hiding for the upcoming hurricane. All the smiles tell the story best. A great time was had by all. Can't wait for this year's tournament(s). A Summer highlight.

Kaptain Kidd: As always nice work. The professionalism and detail really shows in whatever you guys do on and off the web. It's noticed.
