Arrow Laying Down the fish! 2009 SBO Classic Weigh-in Official Photo Thread

The 2009 SBO Classic weigh-in ran smoothly this year.

The contestants came from far and wide as usual.

The competitive spirit was strong, especially between teams.

Go to this link for the offical scores and winners:

http://www.spearboard.com/showthread.php?t=84288

These images tell the story better than words.

Len Pepe (Gradyman) was our official photographer again this year. Great job Len!

Let's kick it off strongly with Chad Palan's biggest Amberjack and Snapper. Way to go Chad! Chad's dive buddy Jose Santiero did well also with the second biggest AJ.

ENJOY!

How about those scorekeepers at the computers!

Thank you Estelle, Scott, John and Randy shown here along with some random shots of the fish categories and big fish display bins.
