Polebender Invitational

[Finneus Polebender]

Man this would be a great product promo event :lol: FP you need to go find a company to sponsor the food and drinks.

Good idea should hit the boss up oooh and the folks at the new Cabelas should throw down some goodies too ,great idea will have to make some calls. One other request I need to know all of those on the list / or guests of those on the list who will need a seat so I can make sure every one gets on the water . I think I have plenty of boats just want to make sure . So far am covering TR, Colby P , And Throbbit shane .

As impresive as the crawdad when you start stop on the retrieve must admit they look funny out of the water especially them gangly legs . But once they dive and come up man just like watchin the real thing. Bet you replaced the ol crawdad too huh.
Got you covered on the boat thing Brandon.

Please fire in your ideas and wee will all vote to pick the one. Oh and ......................A huge thanks to my employer , and Ryan 808 who will be making the grand prize a hand made custom rod !

hand made custom rod!!! what are the specs!? lets do best cumulative 3 fish then and something smaller for big fish... i might give away a big bait for the biggest fish but im super broke with all these tournies coming up we will see it would be a nice little add on for the pot for big fish im sure i could throw in something.

 

[tomriker]

maybe whoever catches the biggest fish can come out with me and FP to my place some time
not much of a reward but itd be fun

Anything will be great Colby , and TR that would be an AWESOME prize I am sure all would luv to win.Will get with Ryan on the specs not sure at this point asked him to build a custom bass rod he was gonna look and see what he had available .

i know i am working all day tomorrow for funds lol... i need to decide my plan for this invitational... if we do three fish how are we going to dictate who wins i have a couple scales but im sure i lost atleast 2 of them i know where one is though lol

That is the problem with doin it by weight I have a scale , Know TR does but we will need several and I could have an official to keep tally / verify weights considering we have no live wells, biggest fish will be no problem , as will most caught a camera can take care of the most.
