2017 Surf Casting Shark Tourney

[Latimeria]

So, congrats Mike on winning the Batson SUR1569.  That is one damn sweet surf rod and i am jealous!

Joe knocks me out of the top 3 with his Taxman and takes home the 2nd and 3rd place prizes!  Nicely done boss!

I have to get the 2nd place prize from Mike, but will send you up the prizes here soon!  Congrats to all the winners and to everyone on the site that participated!

Congrats Mike! I know you put a lot of hours in over the last 6 months, your definitely the 2017 mvp, you put ALOT of sharks on the board...

Tom-To keep things consistent, for the contest results my taxman should show as 88"*, as I used the same method for measurement that Mike took the 2" penalty for on his winner.

The 3/4 day pass prize actually will work out great, as I still have the 1/2 day passes to use as well and can now use them both on back to back days  and only have to make one drive to SD to do so..😉

and for the reel repair, Chad...hmmm, I'll have to think....not sure I want my VR to be your VanStaal  guinua pig...I have an old Penn Surfmaster 200 I inherited from my Grandpa that seems to be in working order but would be cool to have serviced and upgraded?

Come on Joe, I'll take good care of your VS!  And I promise to give all the pieces back! 

I'll get that Surfmaster set up nice for you    Put it in your golf bag for next time we meet on the sand.

Of course I did, I ain't no liar I'm hoping he's at least broken it in as I never used it. I figured a little something to sweeten the pot wouldl get everyone's competitive juices flowing.

Joe, I should have the 3/4 day tickets from Mike real soon.  Soon as I get them, I'll ship them out ASAP!
