I have been out of town, fishing, teaching and ultra busy, but will catch up tonight.
I have more photos to post and 257 was the magic number so I will chase down 3 winners from the entries and I can say I believe they are all here on the BBG.com.
The prize chest grew thanks to a donation from David so the winner will have their choice of a float set -or- a really cool fishing tips video. This will be a tough choice as the float set is an "ultimate" gill-fishing set (the same ones I used to catch the 257 fish, as well as 311 fish & 205 fish in the last 3 times out).
I hope everyone had a little fun guessing - I will have more photos of recent outings to post tonight as well.
