Another newbie question( I meant to hang around more last night, but wound up talking to Doug at FF counter for an hour and a half, lots of good info but I was brain dead)

So we are fishing as a team right? So just 5 fish(yeah, wishful thinking ) for the boat?

yes 5 fish limit.

cya in the morning....

Wow! This was a great event! Thank you everybody!

This there was a great turnout cant wait untill next year shopefully it will be bigger and a little COOLER outside

And you catch some keepers! Lol

We may have not cought any keepers but let me tell yall Matt Martin is an awesome tourny partner and i know it was a great pleasure to participate in this event with him! Hes a great guy and anyone that needs boat work i promise he will get it right! I cant wait to get to get out there again soon (when it cools off). Overall this tournament turned out great and there were lots of boats. It was awesome to be able to help out Colbys family. I hope next year we get an even bigger result!

the fish to basspro who immediately took her to qaurantine to make sure she makes it,if she does he will recieve a replica of the fish from BassPro Shops.....This young man (16)also donated all of his winning's back to the family,he also had second place stringer with his partner David Choate...Mark Howard if you would please post the full results.

I heard that some fine TFF oldie brought a toad, 12.47, to the scales today.

That was pretty funny

What an awesome event today. Thanks for allowing J C Outdoors the honor of being the TD's on this event. Diane and I both felt very blessed to do our part. I could get used to air conditioned indoor weigh ins.
Continued prayers for the Finch family. I know that Colby was a fine son and heaven has been made richer with his presence.

This was my grandson that set this record. I am really proud of him. he is starting off in his granddad's shoes at 16--keep it up ALEX!! WE have a date on Fork as soon as my new boat gets here in a couple weeks. Glad i didn't fish the tourney now. I would have not known to fish where Mr. Choates took him. Thanks to all of you who had a hand in this very successful benefit tourney. This is what life's all about--helping others. Larry Barnes lake fork guide semi-retired now.

What a great event! Thanks to all who were involved, it turned out perfect! Great amount of money raised to! And how awesome is it that the junior lake record got cuaght during this tournament and by one of colby's friends! Contests to him! Good job to everyone involved!
