Tanya and I on behalf of the Fishers of Men want to thank all of you for your conduct on the water we had five or six folks come up and were so glad to see our division there fishing the lake, they said we were the best group of men and women on the water because we are always show respect to land owners, and other boaters on the water. The game wardens even said they love our group because we always do things in an orderly manner and we always try to accomodate other folks not participating in the event. So give your selves a hand yall deserve it with all the accolades we recieved about our ethics and conduct. God bless you guys.
