| just curious how many of you think there was culling in this tourney to end up with a 38 lb bag ? wow fish would have to definetly come in the right order for that to work out or Ron and Vickie had set the bar pretty high, just thinking there are a lot of 6-7 lb fish being caught right now, congrats on an awesome weight |
|
| |
|
| of course there was culling...you cando that |

| Not sure about culling, word at the tourney was that they had two more "skinny" 29 inch fish in their livewell that swallowed the harness and died. In order to cull they would have had to work more than 10 fish through their livewell and I'm sure catching that many good fish they knew they were on the right bite and didn't have to throw a 27" fish in the livewell.
Congrats Ron and Vicki for the win and all those that qualified for the Championship. |

| Bill,
Go play somewhere else.
This is a great circuit that everyone knows the playing field and also gives back to the fishing industry and communities they fish in. |

| it was awsome, to bad we can,t mr worrall to cover the championship, that would be awsome.. the fishing talent is second to none, to have this many great sticks male and female in any one circuit is un heard of,, and they keep getting better, I think that the MWS is the only team circuit that countiues to grow? team wise, also sponsors the sponsors are getting a bang for there buck. The champoinship and banquet is always great, and each time you get to meet new fisher people, it,s always been a great time. any fans outhere, you can purchase banquet tickets from Jim Come meet everyone see what the champioship is all about,, It will a great shoot, And Mr. Worrall every once and a while i get PMS, and i will personaly say i'm sorry if affended you in any way thank you Jim Pyle. (LIFE IS TO SHORT) |

Location: Appleton | First of all THANKS for all the positive comments from everyone. It is appreciated by Ray and myself as well as the entire staff. Also a big THANKS to all the sponsors for your support without which we could not run the MWS. Also a big THANKS to all the anglers that supported and fished the MWS over the past nine years.
The Midwest Outdoors show coverage will air on Midwest Outdoors TV however they do not have a date set. They got some good coverage on the water as well take off and weigh in and awards presentation. As soon as I get a date and time I will post the information.
Thanks again to everyone
