Congrats to the winners for sure, producing pretty sick sacks of fish against arguably the best smallie guru's in the country, most of which have all kinds of experience on those waters to boot! Well done.

I personally barely got a taste of the B1 last year(1st time every seeing Franny) - kinda showed up last minute with a bad back and no practice (wah wah wha)... But had the opportunity to explore and learn a lot more fishing with george Saliba this year. We were fortunate and figured a solid pattern that held all week.

This year's event truly was phenominal, we had a great deal of indication that their corporate support has increased, the payback and prize-structures reflected that; so a very special thank you to all those companies that support what has to be listed as one of if not "the" biggest premiere events in country! The event was certainly well promoted, it's few and far between these days when I see such large crowds of genuinely interested participants showing up - good on you and thanks to all those involved for producing such a top-shelf event - see ya next year!

PeteG!
