              The Fishers of Men Maryland Division held tournament number 2 out of Tydings Park, in Havre de Grace MD, on the Upper Chesapeake Bay. The day started with nice weather but soon a south wind started blowing and made fishing and navigating difficult. With an afternoon front approaching, the weigh in was held at 2:00pm.

               Tom and Jimmy had a banner day weighing in 23.44 lbs and a big fish of 5.10 lbs. 2nd place was the team of Sean Peddicord and Greg Burdick with 13.67 lbs. Third place was Billy Wiley and Bruce Ostrowski with 4 nice smallmouth weighing in 12.93 lbs. Male/Female team Jeff Choi/Alicia Mull weighed in a limit of 10.64 lbs. for 4th place. Fifth place points went to the Team of Rob Galusha Jr. and Sr. with 6.50 lbs.

               We are fortunate to have two Male/Female Teams competing with our division this year. Both the teams of Jeff Choi and Alicia Mull, and Randy and Debra Gabel have a chance at being the top qualifying Male/Female team in our district if they compete in at least 3 events and then become the highest placing team in the district championship that will be held on the Potomac River on September 15-16th. This would give them a berth at the National Championship to be held at the Harris Chain in Leesburg Florida next year.

               The First Baptist Church of Havre de Grace was a wonderful host providing us with a spaghetti dinner and a perfect meeting location. There were 34 in attendance at the meeting. Jimmy Rufenacht provided the message speaking about his recent call to be the pastor of this very church. His message encouraged each of us to follow what God is calling us to do in His kingdom using the story of Jesus calling Peter to service and the message concluded with his testimony and the gospel message.

               I would like to thank each one who helped with the tournament operation. From tournament weigh in set up (Ted Quatman), to publicity (Jon Crans), to our Chaplain (Paul Wiley), to family and fellow anglers who pitched in to help, we thank you for your service.

The Maryland Division would like to thank Fishermens-Heaven.store for incredible support this year. In addition to product donations, they are sponsoring an end of the year Points Fund which pays back 5 places. Each team that participates in all 5 tournaments/meetings and completed a minimum $100.00 buy-in prior to the 4/22 tournament are eligible. We would also like to thank Stanford Baits for their continued support. Nathan Hess has designed and built our plaques for the winning teams and a big fish plaque for each tournament this year.

               Fishers of Men would like to thank all of our fine sponsors; BassCat Boats, Berkley, Abu Garcia, Mercury, Spiderwire DuraBraid,   Realtree Fishing, FireFly Outdoor & Marine, Power-Pole,  T&H Marine, X2 Power, FroggToggs , FSB Mortgage and Jacobs Glass.
