Lee Pruiett was the president of Gartex Bass Club. We lost him suddenly at our March tournament this year at Toledo Bend. This will be a great benefit to support a great family.

I will be at Bass Pro Sunday morning at 4:30 for registration. Registration will be held by the front door. After registration you may leave any ramp of your choice and start fishing at 6:00am and lines must be out of the water at 3:00pm. Your chip must be in the bucket on the Victory Bass Stage that will be located in the circle just above the Bass Pro docks by 3:30. Any team that turns their chip in late will have their catch disqualified. There will be a 1 pound fish care penalty for any dead fish. There will be a raffle and trophy presentation after weigh in. I hope to see everyone there.

Thanks for all the support, Mitch

Looking forward to seeing everyone Sunday. We are going to have the only day of good weather.

Looking forward to it.

Do you have the results from the tournament yesterday?

We had 34 boats at the Lee Pruiett Memorial Bass Tournament on Ray Hubbard Lake. 5/21/17
Lee Pruiett the club President passed away suddenly at Toledo Bend during a GarTex Bass Club Tournament. The club was deeply saddened as a result. Mitch York and the GarTex club wanted to help the family with overwhelming expenses. This was a celebration of Lees passion for Bass Fishing and a way for us to give back as a tribute to a beloved club President.
Over $2000 was presented to his family from donations, the tournament, & door prize drawings. A few heartfelt speeches were given and some tears were shed.
The participants were blessed with a 133% payout which is very uncommon for a benefit Tournament.

Special Thanks to: David Ford, Mark West, Doug Haeussler Sr., Doug Haeussler Jr., Cody Malone, Lee Humphries, Tom Kettle, Brady Winans, Jim Brack, & the GarTex Bass Club.
