But it will win you 5 Grand:eek: :rotfl:

U forgot to mention in the dark with a spot light :p

Well I called it....one of my buddys who guides went to the beach and had a 6.2lb,,,6.5lb and 4 over 5.... Caught half on beach and other half on JB rocks..... As soon as he emails me the picks I will post em

Not only did he not have on a columbia, he was also fishin in an aluminum boat, that did not have a power pole or racing seats. He also caught his fish on a sand eel and yes, he da one dat caught da sailfish just offshore out of cameron last year.

good job to all who fished today braving the absurd number of boats Congrats to the winners

hell.............. Im just going to cut off some wranglers and put on a tank top with some volt shoes with some knee high socks

Wear my foam trucker hat.....

:eek: Now he got enough money to buy all that! He can spend 3K on one of them fancy anchors, get a wardrobe of Columbias (can even buy some patches to put on em), a couple of Curados (non-refurbished), and have some left over for a visor and some Costas:*****:

:*****::*****: We all know that's a lie. We've seen the pics.

You have never seen me fish any kind of tournament or event with live bait...
And I only use mullet in August when I know I can go catch 5-7lb trout every trip..

Another lie.

I will give you any free shimano reel you want....if you can find anywhere I have used Mullet out of August!!! and give you 10 if you can find where I ever fished trout with live shrimp!!!


That's what I thought

Then...why are you so defensive? Got somethin' to hide, do ya? :cool:

Just what I expected...you open your mouth and then avoid the challenge like always... Again you are showed you have no clue what your talking about!!!! So why even post in the fishing section when the last time you caught a trout Ford was still president

Arties only...whatever you say.

Guys lets please not hijack the thread, save it for the gill net.

Some people like to fish bait, some do not. Ford v/s Chevy or whatever. Each side thinks they are right. At the end of the day the rules are the rules and it dosen't matter.

Burgers were off da chain!

I'll find out when I get my teeth back! They sure smelled good. :)

Raymond, I want to congratulate you on the fantastic job you did putting together the 2011 Lake Charles Trout Shootout! Thank you for all the hard work you put in.


Well done Sir!!!

You aint never seen a pic of me throwing a cast net........I have never even attempted to throw one in my whole life...:D

Confucius says - "one must learn to throw net before one can catch shrimp":rotfl:

You see the big guy on the front? He was throwing the net, I can assure you, Neg.

Wasn't planning to post until tomorrow but this thread needs to get back on track!
I appreciate the the kind words from everyone.
The shootout was a team effort, you can't pull off an event like this on your own. Green shirts at the point did a great job of making the chairman look good and I thank them for their effort! ! Please understand, this event was three months in the making and still did not come together until Friday . I do believe the online leader board was one my best ideas of all time and thank Casey for green lighting the idea. Next year salty cajun will be listed as the official web link for the shootout.
Last, thank you to all that participated! Your support makes it possible to hold events like the shootout and fishing seminar.

Best Regards,
Raymond

A great job to all officals and cordinators. Sound's like a lot of laugh's and great fellowship. Oh Raymond have a coke and smile on me .

A big Thank You to all the green shirts. From the outside it looks to have gone off without a hitch. GREAT JOB!

We all know that you can't throw a cast net:*****::*****::*****::*****::*****:

Job well done Raymond!! The online leader board was great!!!!

If the Shootout was artificial only it would have 10 entries like every other artificial only trout tournament on Big Lake. Low entry fee, live bait and high payout for first is the way to draw people. The Shootout has proven this year after year as no other trout tournament on Big Lake even comes close in number of entries.

Easy killer:*****: You are right though, I will never ever catch as many











































trolling motors as you have:*****:



Great job Raymond, I was over there Friday and looked like it was gonna be a good time

Thanks to everyone that put it on. That $5000 will come in handy. Oh yea. And for y'all live bait haters. I caught it on artificial. :)

Good job man. Don't worry about what others think.

My buddy and his dad went this Mornin to the same spot. His dad caught a 8lb 11oz. Leadin the star right now

Great job Top Dawg! You had to sweat that fish out 5hrs. It would have drove me crazy having to wait it out like that. Again, Congrats!

Times is tuff in this economy man, and throw in global warming too, and ....:*****:

Hope you get it figured out, $50 aint much but it is still $50 you aint got

lol yea. like you said its only 50 but i was just curious?

Please call me tomorrow, I will take care of it.

8.34lb been leading since Friday. I'm surprised you were able to catch a fish in West Cove with all the boat traffic.

Ok will do. Thanks

Good job Raymond...I'll set up the stage again next year!! LOL!! :*****:

I caught a bunch of em in West Cove, just none big enough. I did have some goobers run over the reef I was drifting several times. Sucks.

Anyone know how I can get in touch with someone from cca. The bank won't cash my check. They messed up on my name and scratched it out and rewrote it so they say it's altered. Need a new check.

Come see me at Whitney Bank. Kevin works here too. He was the one that cut the check. We'll ok the check.

480-2088

You'll have to tell him which Branch or he will show up at the one in Westlake. LOL

3401 Ryan St....corner of Ryan & College by I-210

2nd Floor. Ask for Chas or Kevin

Go to Whitney Bank not the "Check Cashing Center".:grinpimp:
