We had an awesome meeting with over 90 folks attending. Palastine Baptist always shows up with amazing food and the facilities are always more then accomidating. Thank them for all they do to serve us as a division. God bless the ministry they have for helping folks and serving the community.
Thanks to our speaker James McCloud of Providense Veterans Farm, his message really hit home with me. Life is a battle and its our jobs as chistians to prepare our hearts for the going into battle against satan. Life can throw us alot of curve balls and his message really opened my eyes to what I need to do to prepare for when things get tough. The message was great. Please check out the things Providense farm is doing to help our veterans with PTSD and other family and life issues.
Well, we can say this tournament came in like a lion. The wind blew hard all day. it didnt stop some of our anglers from catching a quality bag of fish. At the end of the day the team of Jared Sowers and Kevin Allison brought back the winning bag of 22.17lbs and also the kicker fish of 6.29lbs that was our big fish for the tournament. Congrats to this team who took home 1st place, Big fish and 1st place bonus bucks, for total take home of $2118.50. Thats what the payout can be when you have the teams show up.

3rd place went to the team of Ralph and Justin Hicks with a weight of 17.98lbs, they took home $670.50 for their efforts. (please note i made a mistake on saturday and this amount represents $468 for 3rd and the 2nd place bonus bucks of $202.50) it was discovered that i had left them out of the system for bonus bucks by accident, so i paid out two 2nd place amounts after the prizes had been awarded.)
