Good Press for the ST. Pete Open

Heres a little piece i did on the tournament for our local Pt. Charlotte water publication called WaterLife, it's a monthly free newspaper I sometimes write a scuba report for. I tried to contact everyone whose pictures were used. I didn't get a hold of 1st place snapper winner Julian Cruz or 1st place grouper winner John Schmidt, ( Tony, thanks for the photo of John.) If you guys would like a copy either quick message me here or email me and i will get you one, wilsonpools@comcast.net. Thanks to everyone for letting me use your pics, really turned out to be a very nice piece. Can't wait till next year

Re: Good Press for the ST. Pete Open

a few more pics. I had two errors in the article, my lobster weight was actually 1.4 pounds. my girlfriends was 1.6! ooops. and i was picking in front of 30 pound jacks not 40. I could have swore Jim Joseph had a 40 pounder and i know i picked in front of him. was up late getting the story done. Check out my buddy on the cover in the bottom right corner lookin like a gunnel huncher. By the way that is my other bud Craig Raekstraw on the cover with a 15 pound unicorn grouper.
