~~The father and son team of Brad and Brodie Brown win the Ameriprise $2000 on Watts Bar

The fourth East Tennessee Fishers of Men Tournament was held on Watts Bar Lake.  With $2000 guarantee first place, there were new teams showing up to take their shot at the grand prize. 
Whites Creek Baptist Church was the host church again this year.  The women and men of the church love to host the event every year and we are so thankful for them. We also had some great food and some real awesome desserts.  After a great meal we went over to the church where we listened to a great message from our brother in Christ, Pastor Roger Britton.
The Ameriprise First place went to the team the father and son team of Brodie and Brad Brown, giving them over $2300 in winnings.  This team came to the scales with a 5-fish limit weighing in at 20.41 pounds.  They reported running their Mercury to the mid-section of the lake to catch their fish on a shallow running crankbait.  Great job guys!

 Second place went to the team of Michael Van Osdale and Chase Henley, who brought 17.62 pounds to the scales. 
 
Third place went to the newly formed team of Matthew Stombaugh and Jack Dunaway who came to the scales with a nice bag of fish weighing in at 17.54 pounds.
