That time will be here in a couple of months.This is by far one of the most worthy causes any fisherman could ever be involved in.

A little update,

There was a problem with the PA club for 9-12-2010, The PA got Doubled Booked. We switched the day of the ceremony to 9-11-2010 which is a Saturday. The Tournament will now end at 1000 Sat morning and awards around 1300. I will keep everyone posted as it progresses.

The Tournament Fee is $25. This will include:
T-shirt
Food
Door Prize Raffle
Live Music
and knowing that you have supported a great cause!

Local bait shops will have tickets or you may sign up online at our website.An additional email will be sent out when tickets are available.

Thanks for your continued support,

Don't know if any S-B'ers other than Pt-Jude Joe showed but a hell of a good time was had by all at the PA club.

Other than the day I joined the AF today was the most patriotic American thing I've ever done.To see Chris' wife and kids there was amazing,it has to take amazing courage to be reminded of what they lost but at the same time to be so proud that he made the Ultimate Sacrifice.

I was just blown away by what I saw and witnessed today.There really are some good Americans out there still.

Wish I had been in town to fish the tourney. Everything I've read about him promotes a seriously stand up guy.
