Our tournament consisted of 38 teams competing for 1st place, we paid out seven spots, and over $4,425.00, which included Big Bass and Bonus Bucks.
Our morning started out a warm 55 degrees and some what foggy, but by the time blast off came at 6:45am the fog was gone at our ramp and we were able to blast off safely.
