I'd be in for it. 1st Responders (PD) vs 2nd Responders (FD). PD will let FD know when the lake is safe.

I’m sure PD will be blocking the entrance to the weigh-in as usual lol, sounds like a good idea!

send me ideas on lakes and dates and i will start trying to put something together. we had a couple of tournaments like this about 6 years ago and they were fun. If you have any questions call me at 903-eight Two One-three four 66. leave me a message because of the telemarketer calls and i will call you back.

but the truth of the matter is, you would have to wake up the FD from their recliners, turn off the PS4 and TV... Then they will respond....

I am thinking that it is something that is going to take place in the fall of this year or spring of next year. I would like to get some sponsors on board and maybe make it where we can have a good payback with some sponsorship money and give the entry fee money to a charity. i would like to make the lake one that is full of fish and fishes different ways so that everyone could catch fish. i want to include retirees, and active police and firemen.i would entertain active duty military and retirees also if that is what the majority wants. i want to see this be a annual event and maybe have a traveling trophy with what organization won that year on it. call me with ideas and such to help me put this together.

Re: Fireman and Police Only Bass Tournament, Interested? - 05/26/19 02:24 AM

Any first responder (current or retired) and any military (current or veteran).... better turnout and more for sponsors to get on board with. May see if bass champs or one of the other larger trails would be interested in getting behind it. I know fun n sun does a lot too in the area for bass fishing and charities. Just a few places I would start... good luck and keep us posted! Thank you

I run a similar event in az every year. Much smaller group of fishermen than in tx. I have some sponsor contacts I can pass on and I will be there to fish.

I'm not PD or FD, but would be willing to help out. Maybe a boat captain or help work the event.
Thanks,
Kevin

If the date you choose for your event does not conflict with one of the dates of a THSBA tournament, I would be willing to bring one of our weigh in trailers with a fold out stage, and possibly one of our live release trailers, to help you with your event. Obviously we have all the equipment to run an event on a large scale.

We are doing this for the Hookset Brothers for their event on Lake Palestine on September 7, 2019. They help out veterans with PTSD.
