North Texas Trophy Cats ROCKS!

Want to say thanks to the guys over at NTTC for pulling off a great classic! Everyone walked away a winner. Brent & Jered did an outstanding job and the countless others that helped out. Also thanks to Brent's & Jered's wives for rolling up their sleeves during the tournament.
Can't wait until the new schedule comes out and hope to see a lot of you guys at the Fork Catfish Splash!

You couldn't have asked for a better run tournament than this classic. Next year will be even better..

I second that emotion!!! it was great. I was hoping to see a lot more friends there but there were plenty to meet and visit with. got to see the miles boys again and all the others and won't even try to remember all the names as I'll miss some but it was great to see ya'll. ya'll watch out for us about any time from now on as we may be sneaking down there pretty soon again. that is, after my cousin and I have a little heart to heart. hahaha. I won't make the hourly tournament as I don't see how that'll work as it takes me too long to locate the fish to have to come back to the weigh-in every hour ... I'd be spending all my time traveling to a fro

Tiny, we just may make a Texican out of you yet. I'd be glad to take your cousins place.

Tiny. you don't have to go in every hour, just listen on the radio and they announce the weights and if you have one bigger than what has been brought in - take it in. You can weight in as many hours as you want.

Or wait till the next hour to weigh in.

Mark, there gonna be an impromptu gathering at the splash this year? Can't fish it with ya'll, but can make it down one night for a get together...

not for sure if we are gonna make it either :(if gas and desiel get any higher we will probably have to stay home...will keep you posted

This was another great tourney put on by NTTC, big thanks to Brent , Jered and all of the sponsors for what they do to promote the sport of catfishing.

This past weekend NTTC held its first 2 day classic at Bass Pro shops on Lake Ray Hubbard. This event was a huge success and could not have been any better. The events started Friday evening at the fish fry and gathering of catfisherman. After the great fellowship it was time to head to bed and make last minute changes to fishing gear. Saturday morning started mild and windy. The wind eventually calmed down a bit but still had the water chopped. During the hours there were several activities going on at BPS, including the girl scouts fishing derby that NTTC women helped out with.

Several spectators showed up for our quick weigh-in on Saturday. After day 1 Petree/Nelson were on top of the board with 70 lbs. After the weigh in was over it was time for the BBQ gathering for those that could stay up, or bed time for those that had enough of the blistering sun.

Sunrise on day 2 was welcomed with a brief lightning storm in the distance but turned out to be decent weather. Day 2 proved to be more difficult fishing for all anglers but all of them gave it their best efforts. The weigh in scale opened to even more spectators and plenty for all to enjoy. Had the grill going, balloons for the kids along with a bounce house. After every team walked across the stage it was time for the awards. First off we had to give an award and flowers to our friend and photographer, Kim. Then it was time for Jered and I to recognize our wives for their support this year to help us bring anglers the best trail in Texas.(well that’s what I’ve been told). Then we continued with the NTTC appreciation awards going to Robert, Chase, Brad, David, Dusty and Ricky. Anglers of the year went to Petree/Nelson. Rookies of the year went to Lewers/Miles . Sportsman of the year went to Smith/Alexander. All six anglers were presented with a trophy and money from Bee Ready Rod Holders.

Came time to hand out cash and awards, we had so many it seemed to take forever. Everybody went home with Countrybobs sauce, free appetizer from Texas Land & Cattle and tackle from proangler tackle. Then on top of that everybody won a very nice price from one of our many classic sponsors. Then we handed out several prizes in the random drawing with BIG PRIZE being a $200 steak package from LONESTAR GOURMET. After it was all handed out we managed to hand out well over $5000 in cash and prizes, $5300.00 to be exact plus trophies and the goodie bag (country bob’s, proangler tackle pack and free appetizer to TLC) The run down looks like this.

Jered and I would like to thank all the members from NTTC that presented us with the Plaque, Hat and the NEW VINYL job on the weigh-in trailer. This was an unexpected gift from you guys and it means the world to us. It shows that NTTC is more than just a tournament trail. It is a group of anglers that has bonded and made new friends while learning how to be better anglers. I have seen families and friendships grow strong in this group and we are proud to be apart of it. THANKS TO ALL IT HAS BEEN A GREAT AND SUCCESSFUL YEAR.
