9boats, I hate german, but still might show, never cocky, I was bored of shaking off fish, so I went somewhwere else

who is running the one 2mo night?

[luckycrank]

looking at the tournaments on classic bass it will be tricky to schedule around weekend events. how a bout weeknight tourneys also ?

[french_lake_kid]

Week nighters are the funnest if you ask me, short but sweet! Its awesome to see some guys still weigh over 20lbs. in just 3 hours

[luckycrank]

Is that because its almost instant money for you ?

[katoguy]

Bart and Kenny run the Thursday niters. I fished the last one, but won't make many more. They cut off the teams at 15. I think there was 13 or 14 on West Jeff 2 weeks ago. Kenny did have a schedule, but I didn't ask for one.
