Looks like some nice fish were caught.

Yep There Are Some Real Nice Fish Brought In Every Year For The Contest, I Didn't Make It This Year But It Is A Blast When They Hold This Street Dance And All.

I wish that all of us from Big Fish Midwest and from JMJ could have a get together one year at the beach in Alabama and have a "tournament" there.....Catch/release mostly with a fish fry afterwards each day......That would be kicka$$

You Got That Right Bring The Smokers With I Want Some Smoked Fish.
