Congrats to Cwood for the win. Nice fish! 16 years of a great event is awesome. Pdona, thank you so much for running this event. I've been to only a few but all have run great.

What a mess.zebra mussels,a massive thick soupy mess of milfoil and God knows what else.the state needs to set up a wash station and have bio major students intern at the launches educating boaters, at least on weekends.they do it in ny,it seems to be suceeding.i have actually educated some of these interns from Paul Smith's school about removing trolling motor props at wash stations it is now sop.livewells,no brainer,bilges???soap hot water.some launches require proof such as a receipt from a car wash.they are getting hardcore upstate ny.maybe we should follow and expand.?
