We had a great start to the weekend with a wonderful meeting at the Hales Ford Baptist church. We opened the meeting with a delicious meal, then we had a word spoken by pastor Melvin Harris. Followed by a few give aways to each of our kids. Each kid recieved a grab bag of stuff sponsored by Elliott's military supply and fishing tackle, Mudd Butt Baits, and baits that we purchased from our gun raffle in the spring. We finished up with pairings and a few words from the director Mark Blankenship. Special thanks to Russ Nixon for helping out so much to get us started. Also a special thanks to Wayne king and his wife Mary for all there help.
The morning of blast off we had wonderful overcast morning in the 60's. The wind picked up thru the day as the front started coming in bringing cooler weather on Sarurday. The Fishermen battled a Big bass tournament as well with just over 900 registered teams. The lake was a buzz. Each team weighed fish but not a single team weighed in a limit of Bass. The top finishing team of David and Conner Martin took 1st place in the tournament as well as 1st place bonus bucks and a big fish of 5.34lb Largemouth. 2nd place team went to Darrin Keith and his two kids Hunter and Joshua. 3rd place went to Jared and Caleb Sowers.
