And hats off to Chris for insisting on an early tournament. While some friends couldn't make it because
of the holiday, we all caught more fish, just barely beating the first May Fly hatch of the year.

Bill takes an early lead for "big fish" with a 1 lb 12 oz beauty!	Barney's first day in the tourney yields a limit.	Can you tell by his smile Dave has a limit?	I keep trying to tell you Dave, they only weigh 2 and a half pounds...	"I told you it would be a great weekend for fishing!"	Fred has the lead at the end of day 1 with a limit worth 6 lbs 1 oz.
Larry's a happy guy with one of his "better" days in 4 years. Yo!	Chris beats it back to the marina to be on-time for weigh-in.	Desperate to get his second limit, Dave is still at it Sunday at 11:59.	Kris and brother Kale from Montana motor in to the marina.	Alright guys, now that we're done fishing, what do we do?	Barney and Chris with Sunday limits. Chris is finally smiling!
Is that really a Diet Coke on the barrel. Ya, right!	A surprise guest at weigh-in, Carole is one of the world's best chefs!	Carole wants to know why no one shows up till the last minute?	Fred reveals his secret weapon - could Chuck be a pro guide?	This looks like a conspiracy, maybe Kale has the "big fish."	Nope, Shawn has something to say about that!
Go Shawn! 4 lbs 15 oz on the left and 4 lbs 9 oz on the right!	Chris tries to convince Shawn they're only 2 pounds each.	Shawn insists on an independent audit!	Call it beginner's luck - Barney takes 3rd his first year.	Shawn nails 2nd and "big fish" thanks to his 2 hogs!	Fred narrowly escapes with first place by 8 ounces.
Larry is sad when the tourney is over and it's time to go home.

Needless to say, the 4th Annual Siltcoos Lake Stringer Tournament was a huge success. Everyone had a great
time, plenty to eat and drink and most important, good friendships to enjoy and memories to cherish!
Oh, and thanks Sally for being such a wonderful hostess and putting up with a bunch of men!
