As of today FRI only have 8 clubs for the contest . Hopefully have a good turn out for the breakfast good cause and i think good time.First look at next years 20 year T-Shirts .The silk screen is black so limited on colors for shirts looking at gray but light blue or safety yellow or orange is an option.

Cool! Been fishing the tourney since the first or second year. Any chance of listing the winning clubs on the shirt too?

Nice shirts - I'd be in for a few if it had 20 years of winning team names on the back - if practical

It was a great tourney, with a great turnout. Some difficult fishing, mornings seemed better, largest was just under 24lbs. Shirts were a really popular idea and will sell well, both styles.

Great cause. Thanks.

I would think the idea of all the winners over the years is mandatory... even if it costs a bit more. The shirt is about history, and should reflect that history. great design!

I think it would help if somewhere the initials for "MS" was on the front- even if just in small letters some place.

We have raised a good amount for Multiple Sclerosis and it may give more reason for more clubs to join and guys to participate.

Has the charity been MS for all 20 years- I think it has been for the last 10 or so?

I want to say the last 6 years or so it has been MS. It was for the MDA before that.

I'm pretty sure SB and others clubs did participate. Most important is the monies raised for MS. As usual it was a nasty weekend, very little love from mother nature.

The title should be imbedded in storm clouds to reflect the typical weather pattern of the tournament. The word "The" in the title should be omitted, just saying but what do I know.

Friday night was crazy indeed. Fished within the boundaries in the tourney to pick up nothing but a bunch of whitewater in my face. Decided to change locations outside the boundaries to at least make my trip worthwhile and get out of the wind into calmer surf. picked up 1 blue that would have put some nice points on the board for SB but there were guidelines. Congrats to the csa guys i think they beat there lbs from last year by at least 40 this year

They are inconvenienced by the fall boundaries. They have to deal the bridges to get there, then on the way home, and if they have to weigh fish on Saturday once the shops open it's back and forth again. And then there's the trek to the Andrea. Lots of toll and gas $.

Any final numbers? I agree great tourney, great turnout, & an excellent cause! Did the local newspaper write an article about the tourney?
