Mother Cup 2017 - Tale of Two Pictures

Sons of Liberty founding father Slick sent the first two pictures of this entry with the caption, "the weekend tale..." So true as unfortunately that is not someone water skiing off the back in the first. That was the dead whale that eventually came back to life but not the kind of start you are looking for in a fishing tournament. The second picture should be captioned "the champ is here!!!" as Doke took big fish, most total fish pounds and carried the Seadogs to a mass-a-cree victory over the elder Liberty team. There was no stopping the guy.
The two session tournament had only five pounds separating the two teams after Saturday morning, however, Saturday evening's fish did not yield five pounds for the trailers. The wind was fierce in addition to the most pollen I've ever inhaled in my life (serious; check out the picture below) but the Doke train was full steam ahead.
A good time, as always. To those who had to hear me tell the same story multiple times over the weekend (lot of "Was it you I was telling....?" Yep), we're old and get used to it.
Thanks to Dave and Judy for putting up with us once again.
