This week-end was the second annual Snoopy Rod Classic (SRC).

Heavy coastal rains puked things out on the west end, so a change of venue / targeted species was put into effect at the last moment:

This doesn't look like anything around Forks, except for the rain! Upper Skagit was our destination:



12 of us joined in for a day of chasin' dollies ... knowing that the steelhead odds were gonna be low, especially when fishing with a slight handicap!




My rod of choice this year?? What else, Spongebob Squarepants!!



Here's the Tweety Rod going to work on a fat Dolly for Rich. Tweety was a backup to his Barbie rod that now rests at the mouth of the Sauk after it was pulled out of the boat while he helped me land a fish.



My second largest one of the day was this 22 incher ...



Kent acts oblivious to the potato ready to land about 5 feet from our boat as the fellas on John's boat do a high five celibrating a successful launch of the potato cannon ... also later used to lauch other organic materials



And the winners? Forks 'boy' (Gordy and Pat weenied out at venue change) continue with a another strong showing by opening up a can of whoop-ass on their home turf ... well, not really. I did manage to retain my second place Snoop Sweater for another year with a 24 inch Dolly, but Jeff walks away with the Grand Prize, bumping Robbo from the podium this year by actually catching a steelhead at the ramp before any of the boats even headed out ... go figure!



Lots of fun again this year ... thanks to all those who particpated, We doubled the number of entrants from lat year and hope to see even more anglers next year!

Maybe I'll get everything dried out by then!

That looks like fun! I might have to try one those Snoopy rods for blackmouth.

Congrats Bob! What a day, didn't know fish guts could actually fly that far. Everyone had a great time, we are already putting things together for next year. Hopefully back to the coast, maybe the weather and the fish, will cooperate!

Looks like a blast

Had a great time Bob and Robbo!! Thanks again for inviting the SRBC Crew out for the fun. If ya really wanna know, that would now make it two years in a row an SRBC Crew member holds the title. Robbo was intitiated into the SRBC Gang last year along with his girlfriend. She's a looker too!!!

You are welcome to bring your gun again ... but beware ... next year when it's back to drfitboats, Bob's Barge may become Bob's Battleship .. already done some research on the web, this will be fun

Oh Yeah! Don't think I have my Snoopy Rod, but have the ole "Zebco Sizzle Stick" I think it's all of 3' long. Might be fun with those winter blackmouth.

Here's my gun for next year ... fires a 20 oz. (full) pop bottle 400 yards with only 15 degree elevation. Gonna be fun

Holy s***!! That is a canon.

Man! Can you get armor peircing ammo for that? One way to clear out Blue Creek.

Hey try freezing the cans a little first, they will hit harder

That was good fun Bob and Robbo Thanks. Looks like I had too much of Graham's Hooch. Johnny is mounting a tater turret for the boat.
Tiggers like catchin fish!

HOLLY SHIZNIT BOB!!!

Now thats a Tater Gun from Hell!!!
Carl "Otis" is gonna drool when he sees that one!!

Little bigger and we could Tater Iraq with some fuzzy Chum-Foo!! Indians are sellin the carcass' now to the tree-huggers as salmon
flavored To-Fu.

SRC 2003 be good fun!!! A big thanks to everyone who turned out this year! Next year will be mayhem!

I wish John wouldn't have brought up Robbo's girlfriend. Many bad memories there. I spent four nights in a cabin in northern B.C. with her and the hissing noises from her direction were disgusting. And the really sad part was Rob tried to blame it on Bruce!

Looks like you guys had a great time!

You'll have to join us next year Sinktip, somewhere out there I'm sure there is a 3ft Snoopy Spey rod! Or you could just bring a 3ft Snoopy single hand rod, because that is "real" fly fishing.

Kev

Spey rod hell! I want to fish bait if I get invited to the classic.

Come to think of it Kev, didn't I see you pull Robbo's girlfriend into the bathroom up in B.C.? And what was that Lysol for anyway? :p
