Cabela's Winners

C.J. Blankenship of Topeka, Kansas and Ryan Gnagy of Tecumseh, Kansas with a total weight of 120.6 pounds.

Here's a shot of the winners. It was a hectic three days. Clearly, everyone was surprised at the conditions. As little as five days prior, several had caught well north of 200 pounds. It was tough as, again, 21 of the 39 teams were from out of state. Guides from Santee Cooper. Jeez- our little tournament has come a long way.
In case you haven't noticed, a lot has happened in the city park. We hope, by late summer, to be able to host a 150 boat tournament rain or shine as our boat ramp will be installed and have been promised help with rock for all the roads. At Saturday's event, the Mayor cooked the beans, three council members helped served meals, two guys from maintenance cooked, two more helped set up and tear down and we raised $912 that will go back to the park. That's why I have chosen to live and work in small towns for the last 31 years. A few committed people who come to common agreement that we can do something fairly well and make it a success. And, we are getting better at it. If you have suggestions, lest us know. Heck- maybe one day we will just plan a big ol fun tourney, our group will serve brisket and fish...
Thanks for your kind words. Met a lot of good folks on the TFF
