Thirty three teams joined us Saturday for the opener of our Fall Trail on Fork. The day was beautiful, the winds light and the temperatures were mild making for a great day to challenge the bass of Lake Fork. Most of the anglers brought a limit to the scales but the quality unders were hard to come by. After a hard day of fishing the anglers were treated to a barbecue dinner with all of the trimmings while they awaited the results. Thanks for being a part of this special day with us and we hope to see all of you on the 27th of September.

Thanks again to all of our anglers and we hope you will join us on the 27th of September.

Mark and Diane Howard

Good food. Thanks to who provided and prepared it. And thanks to Mark and staff for another good event (I forgot to say thanks at the weigh-in).

Congrats to the tourney winners and also to the repeat AOYs.

Arrrrgggg, a dead fish cost us 5th place!!! Oh well, it happens.

Thanks Mark and crew for a great T and the awesome BBQ! See yall in October.

Had the same misfortune in March of Dimes tournament on Fork this year bankbeater. I feel your pain.
Glad you guys enjoyed the tournament and the grub. I smoked the briskit and sausage, Diane made the potato salad and Sherri made the beans. Oh yea the cookies and brownies were made by the Frank and Sherri's daughter Courtney.
I am blessed to have a great crew and great anglers.

Next tournament is September 27th.

Mike and Donnie....Congrats! What a nice bag of fish on a day when the dinks everywhere!

Mark, congratulations on a great tournament and thank you very much for providing the great BBQ

Ditto Ken, you said it...

Sorry we didn't get to talk to you big money winners, Kay and I hung out on the losers side.
We had a great time though..

You and Zach still fishing the spring * right ??

Billy...Zach is 14 and playing baseball, football and lovin fishing...I am gonna let him do what he wants right now....I love fishing with my son (zach attach!)...and hope we will be fishing together. He loves his baseball and he hit can play so thats fun too!

I am lucky enough to be fishing with Gillham this fall and know I will learn a ton. Quite seriously its just a blast to me to be back into a situation where I am competing at something, learning ... .its a rush to me!

Congrats again Billy on multiple AOY in two awesome trails...when I was racing motorcycles you had to be a bad boy to do that...I believe its tougher to do that fishing. I could control my conditioning and how far I pulled the throttle back to win...it takes more than that to fish!===ck man!

Who you calling loser?

We had a blast with the slot fish just never could get any decent unders after the top water bite died.

Congrats to Mike and Donnie...what a heck of a day. According to the Quest site you should've wore you BCB hat cuz you left some $ on the table.
