Our third tournament of the year was held on Bayou Teche in Patterson. We had 34 boats!! Our meeting was held at the Church of God of Prophecy in Belle River, thank you Pastor Doug Watson. We had seafood gumbo, rice, potato salad and bread. Our message was given by our assistant director Winston Michel. The message was to make sure and keep our focus on God when in troubled times. What is impossible for man is possible for God!!!
The tournament began with prayer led by Winston Michel. The weather was mostly cloudy but extremely windy. Though size was a challenge for most, there were plenty limits caught. 1st place went to Malcolm Smith and Gary Christian with a weight of 18.62lbs, 2nd place went to Byron Keith and Chris Cordell with 18.20lbs, 3rd was Chucky Son and Randy Son with 18.06lbs, 4th Place went to Vernon Silver and Gerald Butler with 17.58lbs., 5th place was Alex Heintze and Gary Haney with 17.26lbs, 6th Place was Jeff McMorris and Beau Fitch with 14.60lbs and 7th place was Steve Gullotto and Roger Hudnall with 14.30lbs.
We want to thank everyone who helped make this tournament a success. We also want to thank all of our local sponsors, Bayside Tackle, Breaux and Daigle Marine, Cajun Outboards, Mister Twister, Fins braided line.
We want to thank the Lord for giving these fishermen a very beautiful and safe day on the water. Christian fellowship is what these tournaments are all about. God bless!
