But, let's cut to the chase and whet you appetite for more weigh-in images. Here are the biggest fish in each category at the 2008 KLO.

Coolers full of great fish started appearing on the battlefield as the combatants readied their volleys.

My 19 year old daughter Lauren, Lisa and Dennis helped with T-shirt and meal ticket sales while John Biggs' fiance' Estelle worked the data entry along with Scott Hurley.

The scene was littered with nice fish and people.
We brought in over a ton of ice (actually 2,400 pounds) for the big fish display bins and there was plenty for people to take home in their fish-filled coolers.

Here are the last people images from the weigh-in.
The next thread I put up later will be images of the trophy awards, expo, dining and prizes for the crowd upstairs in the conference facility.
