Well we are off and running for the 2017 season!!

Started of with a grilled Pork dinner at Hertford Bapist Church cooked by Grille master Billy Owens!! Boy it is a knock Out Dinner!!! Then we gave out our Thorphys.

Congradulations to Jessica and her Dad David Buchanan for being our 2016 Champions!! They are also 2 time champions and Jessica is our only two time "Female" Champoin Too!! Second Place went to Trent and his dad Kirk Nixion and Thrid place as well as Big Fish for the year went to Chase and his dad Mike Evans.

Well Tournament was a little breezie , at least no rain, There was a little bit of a heartt break during the event, two boats broke down - but Both the dads decided to stayed out there and still made a day with their Kids. Mike & Chase Evans went out first with engine problems and still managed to bring 6.78 Lbs of bass to the scale and John & Lilly Kellett went out next with lower end problem and they still managed to  weighed in 5.64 lbs of bass!! Good job Dads for Hanging in there!!

But the best of the day came when our second to last Team weighed in--Caleb and his Dad Quintin Chappell brought to the scale a "GIANT" for our rivers around here. A WHOPPING 9.09 LB LARGE MOUTH BASS!!! (this is the largest bass ever weighed in in ether of the NC East Divisions) Their total weight for 5 fish was 16.15 Lbs.

Tyler Hendrix and David Parker came in second with 5 fish at 15.68 Lbs (big fish 4.47) and coming in third was our currrent Champs--Jessica and David Buchanan with 5 fish at 12.13 lbs !!!!
