Big thanks to Larry Seeman who always organizes an outstanding Five Bridges event.   I am sure that his generosity with prizes and lunch takes several hundred dollars out of his own pocket. Thanks, Larry! - Frank

It was a slower than expected bite for mid-May, but the chilly weather and 53° water indicated that "prime time" was still a week or two away.  I had a disappointing end of the tournament after retrieving my line at 4:01 after the 4:00 p.m ending signal only to learn that a carp had taken my bait earlier, but had made no run or indication that I had a fish on the line.  Oh, well.  That's fishing.  The fish would not have changed the final standings though, as it was only 13 or 14 pounds, but it would have made the top 3 standings a bit tighter.  Congrats to the winners, thanks to all participants, and thanks, again, to Larry for conducting a well-run, enjoyable tournament. --Frank
