West Bay Slam Tournament Results

[WestEndAngler]

I want to thank everyone who came out to the weigh-in. We raised a good sum of money for the Fisher House.
We had our largest turnout of the year! 107 anglers in 40 teams that participated in this event, along with 6 additional anglers in the youth division.

In big news, Elizabeth Rodriguez, in our Youth Division, caught a 1.03 LB Piggy that was 13 1/8" long. A quick glance at the Overall Texas Saltwater Records had the current leader for Rod & Reel at 1.04 LB. That's 1/100th of a pound away from tying the current record holder set back in 1998. After further investigation she qualifies for the Junior Texas Saltwater Record. This will be a pending new record! Congratulations to Elizabeth!

In the Youth Division we had 6 anglers participate, they all weighed in some nice catches.

1st Place: Chase Poole - Speckled Trout 3.15 LBS
2nd Place: Garret Leath - Speckled Trout 2.50 LBS
3rd Place: Sophia Dykes - Flounder 1.70 LBS
4th Place: Olivia Dykes - Speckled Trout 1.49 LBS
5th Place: Elizabeth Rodriguez - Piggy 1.03 LBS - PENDING YOUTH SALTWATER RECORD - TEXAS

Congrats to all the winners! Tres and I had a great time playing some tunes at the marina. Thanks to all you guys that came out to listen to us and to Coe for letting us do it.

Thanks for checking into the records for us Coe! She was very excited and I had a great time baiting hooks for her yesterday. The reds didn't show up, but she wore herself out on Mangroves, Croakers, and Piggys. She sure broke in her new rod that we built together earlier this year.

Congrats to all the winners and you picked a great organization to contribute to Coe! Well Done FWE...

did anyone see the trout that the guys in first place had? i had just weighed in & was taking my fish back to the ice chest & walked past the guy in the parking lot... all his fish were in a 5 gal bucket & the main fish that caught my eye was a trouts tail sticking up taller than the other fish. the trout was 29" & a little over 7lbs. he said he caught it on a gold spoon in a foot of water fishing for redfish...beautiful looking fish.

Trout Picture

We had a great day on the water. Didn't catch a fish until around 10 but then caught 3 solid trout from 22-24.5. We decided we needed to spend the rest of the day trying to grind out some reds. We caught one 26 after about an hour and we kept wading that shoreline trying to catch another. I went in shallow and casted in some thick grass with a gold spoon. Right when my lure landed that fish smacked it. I thought it was a red the entire time until it got close. Fish was caught about 10 yards from shore in a foot of water. After that we found a nice school of reds but nothing over 23 inches.

Nice video Coe. We have a new sponsor here now that makes trailers?:?

They sponsored the media we had out there so we included them on the banner.
