Wild water didn't stop folks at yesterday's inaugural Erie Poker Run from having a great time, http://speedonthewater.com/in-the-ne...s-a-tough-hand. Tony Esposito reports.

Excellent action photos from Tim Sharkey to come. He's still on the road back to New Jersey.

Good to see that the Big water didn't stop the Checkmate !!!

The big water stopped everyone.

Wait until Tim Sharkey goes through his images and I get some for the slideshow. We talked for about 15 minutes today and he was completely stoked on what he's seen so far. In short, he said the water was "huge."

Stay tuned.

Hi Matt, I was there with my boat. I saw the images last night at the bar, as well as, saw first hand how big the water was.

I know you were! (You're in the story I edited and published!) I am excited for Tim ... he was pretty much elated today with what he was looking at when we spoke.

The pictures were SICK! It was nuts.

They were the biggest 3 to 5's I've ever seen! We did have a lot of fun running and were willing to try to make the run if others had been willing.

That's because you brought a gun to a knife fight. Any pictures?

Tim really did capture some amazing shots. I was just a little busy.
