We want to thank the 115 teams participating in this years Grand Slam. We also want to apologize to the many teams that were lined up ready to to check in at 4:30AM and we were not ready. Who set that alarm clock anyway?
The weather was great for a great day on the ice. Forty Teams weighed in fish made up of 293.855 pounds of Trout, 49.525 pounds of Northern Pike and 44.945 pounds of Kokanee Salmon. You do not always win BFP and First Place but that certainly is the goal and in the case of Trout and Salmon the competition was tight with only .165 ounces separating first and second in the Salmon category and only .29 ounces in the Trout category. Not listed above was the money won for 4th and 5th places in all categories which was $226.00 and $156.00. Our advertised BFP is $500.00 per category which is based on a sold out event of 150 teams with half buying in. There were 90 teams that bought in the BFP making the payout $600.00 per category. We gave away over $7,100.00 in cash prizes, by far the most of any ice fishing tournament in Colorado. In case you were wondering the smallest Pike was .32 ounce. Lots of great door prizes were given away including two pairs of Avalanche tickets. One pair were great seats including a $50.00 gift card to the Sports Column for a total value prize of $220.00
EAGLE CLAW BONUS: If you purchased $5.00 or more of any Eagle Claw products within one week of the contest your team was eligible for a $300.00 shopping spree at the Wright/McGill facility in Denver. The prize includes a tour of the factory where they actually still make hooks here in the USA. For that alone we should all support Eagle Claw. Out of the three First Place teams, Team #3 White/Johnson and Team #56 Elwell/Elwell were eligible and will split the prize for $150.00 each. Congratulations again!
