home first place in the Navarre tournament with two fish

Alan Chase and Larry Thompson brought in a 22 ½" Speckled
Trout and won the Elite Series for the longest trout worth
$200.00.
Congratulations to all of the winners!
The weather cooperated for the first time all year and there were
a total of 25 teams that fished the tournament. Fourteen teams
brought fish back to the weigh-in.
After the weigh-in we were served some free grub by Gator
Back Spoons and Connor Jigs. Hot Dogs & Sodas under the
tent! Just what a bunch of anglers want after a long day of
fishing.
Everyone is welcome to our weigh-ins and we are still accepting
new members at every tournament.
Thanks to all those that fished and we hope to see everyone at
the Pensacola tournament June 20th.
Thanks also to our tournament sponsors Half Hitch Tackle,
Gator Back Spoons and Connor Jigs for supporting the
tournament. Thanks again to our club sponsors for your
continued support.
