Our season opener was on Lake Palestine today with 46 teams fishing. It was a TOUGH day of fishing with the cold, wet & foggy conditions. Thanks for sticking it out, Anglers!
Much appreciation to the Cornerstone Class of Central Baptist Church for hosting our pre-tournament meal. It was delicious! Thank you for being about Others.
We were privileged to have Pro Angler James Niggemeyer as our guest speaker. What an inspiring testimony of God’s faithfulness & blessings throughout his fishing journey!
