Well it was a tough year to fish the Red River this time. We tried it on day one and only two sauger were caught (and some huge bullheads).
Days 2-4 were much better as we fished Traverse Bay in Pine Falls. Fishing in Pine Falls meant driving about an hour each way (got up really early and got home pretty late each day). We voted before going out on Wednesday to start the annual fishing tournament on that day instead of sticking to the 3 day tournament. Good thing for Brian (he won) because I would have crushed the competition otherwise. I ended up losing by a slim 3/4" margin. I've posted the results below. Now, you tell me. Who had the best year this year?
Anyway, the weather was great, winds light, sun high and fishing pretty steady in the mornings. Orlan did battle with what had to be a HUGE sturgeon on Friday. He caught one later that morning (pictured above) that was a master at 46.5". We figure the first one had to be at least 18" to 24" bigger. Both Brian and Adam latched on to one later that day, but didn't get them to the boat.
Here are this year's results. Enjoy!

Congrats to the rightfull winner according to the rules. Congrats to Tim to being the fisherman who actually caught the most biggest fish. Good weather, wish I could say the same about the fishing.
