| I'm putting on a Grinnel tournament August 15th on the Escambia River out of Smith's Landing. I'm not asking much. As little as $10 will get your business' name on the flyer. If you have a tackle shop you can donate something from there, anything, seriously. I'm not hurting for sponsors, I don't care if I have ANY, I just thought I'd offer up the opportunity for some forum members. I know times are tough and this will probably be the cheapest advertising you'll find. There are mosters of fish in freshwater too, and these things are one of 'em. Ther will be 100% payback with side pots for the Lunker, smallest, and the most fish brought to the landing. $80 per boat includes launch and lunker pot entry. Thanks. PM me if you're interested.  This is the AL state record at 18+lbs
another biggun, 
Notice anything familiar about the tail end? It's believed they're related somewhere down the evolutionary scale. Who knows? I know they're nasty as hell and twice as fun to catch.

Some people we do eat them. Normally not folks from around here. Nothing but a big ole mudfish. Last tourney Collard (Greg) and I did, he ended up digging a big hole to bury them in. BUT.....you are more than welcome to come to weigh in and take some home if you would like to.

Collard, Do you eat them? I personally do not. I've been looking into it, and it seems they are eaten more than used to be. I'm gonna try again this year to donate the catch from the tournament to the (I think) wildlife sanctuary(?) downtown. They couldn't help out last time mainly because of manpower. There will be plenty available for any and all that wish to try some, or have another use for them. Just show up at the weigh-in with a cooler, bucket, whatever. Last tournamnent we had a 100 gal container full to the top with grinnel after the weigh-in. That was with only 12 boats.

| Greg, Is this a boat tournament - two person team? We fished a Grinnel tournament this past weekend in Alabama and had a great time. Anyone who likes bass fishing would have a good time.

No Mike, it's not a team tourney. You can fish alone if you want/have to.
