Re: Results for 2006 St. Pete Open
Here is the live report from the Prize ceremony at SPO 2006. First is SPUC President Denny O'Hern presenting my good friend John Schmidt (a.k.a. Screen Name) - The King of SPO 2006 - with his first place grouper trophy (78.84 lbs.) which entitled him to first pick at the prize table. Next photo is John's prize choice of a Burt Lancaster Gyotaku Fish Rubbing.
Contact Burt at 813-961-5132 and get your own fish rubbing art work.

Re: Results for 2006 St. Pete Open
Can't figure out how in the pictures of the leaderboard early on someone was leading with a 17+lb. Hog and and the end a 16lber won it?
CB's girl....glad you could make it and had a good time. Guess those lobster weren't as big as CB thought huh? He thought he had it all wrapped up last week.... |
