The Brimley Bay Casino and AIM tournament was amazing. It was a well run event with a huge pay out, 31 boats and winner got $40,000, now I like those odds! There were many weather changes from frost in the morning to 88 in a few days to 40 mph wind during the practice period. My pre-fishing areas were immense and varied from shallow rivers with submerged trees, muddy bays 3 feet deep, cold Lake Superior and the St. Mary's River. I made a 50 mile run through the locks on day 1 to find the bay too muddy and cold for the fish to bite after the cold front so I ended up with a skunk. Day 2 I caught enough fish to make the cut for the final day and caught enough fish to finish 12^th for $1836. The Brimley Bay Casino was a major sponsor for this event and really put on a good show. They paid in cash and the winner got a platter with $40,000 cash on it. The money was wet from his drooling!

The fishing clinic drew over 300 kids; this is great for the kids because fishing makes better people than video games.

I got 12th and my plate of cash was too small to show compared to Brett King's platter! More details at www.aimfishing.com.
