If in the market for a high quality cooler: check out the Canyon. about 2/3 cost of the Yeti , holds ice as well, lifetime warranty, and there design makes it easier to pack in a truck etc. I own both. much prefer the Canyon.
I have fished all but one of the Wilson Invitationals.
Keep it a salmon tournament! Forget the lake trout.
Open boarders OK.
No Observer with lie detector for at least a couple team members on top few teams.
6 rods or 8 either OK
Great job Tom! Especially with the tough decisions you had to make. Our team was glad you made the choice you did! Tough but it was fishable. Again congrats to Thrillseeker and the other top placing teams!! Looking forward to next year.
Familiar Bite has a very good cut bait. They also make a fly specifily to use as a sushi fly (has a pair of small wires to hold bait). they sell small strips for the sushi flies.
