If anyone wants to offer me a backseat, I am available. Thank you.
PS. I can sweeten the pot by offering six free tickets to the Austin Ice Bats hockey game on March 18, Sun at 4:00. I was given these tickets. If interested in the tickets as a prize let me know.

Re: HHJ Lake Austin Classic 2007 Season
So Ive had this discussion with a few other ABF members and decided this is how the next H.H.J. will be run.
Since the tournament will be during the spawn and I know all the ABF guys are all about preserving and conserving Lake Austin. If you catch a monster anything over 5lbs and have a digital camera and a digital scale take a photo of the fish on the scale and release her right back in the water. At weigh in the photo will count towards your sacks weight.
I think that this will be better than a bunch of guys rushing the lake and pulling off a bunch of bedding fish and messing up the balance just to weigh fish at the ramp.
If you dont have a digital scale and camera its understandable to weigh the fish in.
There has also been the thought of a 3 fish limit but I dont think that is necessary if we bring our cameras.

Great idea, Charlie. I support this idea.
How do other tourney's deal with this during the spring months? It seems like a big challenge for the larger tourneys. Anything we can do to help extend the fish production in Lake Austin is a good thing.
Also, it wouldn't hurt to remind everyone of the rules for catching bedding fish, i.e. no throw nets, no snagging, etc. I fully trust everyone in our tourneys, just worth mentioning.
PS. If I take a pic of a 13lber on a bed, can I count that towards my total weight for the HHJ? ;D j/k of course.

HHJ and i talked on the phone and did discuss the "recatching" of a fish.....not by the same guys, but by multiple guys. We discussed moving to a three fish limit. If you catch a bedding fish, the sporting thing to do will be to return the fish to the spawning area after the weigh-in
