Open Team Tournament

 

10/29/2016

 

Our seventh annual Open Bass Tournament started on Thursday night, 10/27/2016, at Lighthouse Baptist Church. Anglers, tournament staff, friends and family members gathered for a meal, door prizes, and had the opportunity to hear an inspiring message presented by Rev. Joe Youngblood. We thank God for this inspiring presentation of the Gospel. During the meeting, the Holy Spirit moved two attendees to accept Christ as their Savior and five rededications.

 

Thanks to everyone who helped prepare the meal, the steak dinner and fixings were exceptional. Special thanks again go to Julian Thigpen on his grilling expertise, great job Julian. We would like to thank Light House Baptist Church for hosting our meeting.

 

Saturday was a beautiful day to fish. 45 boats launched at approximately 6:45 am Saturday morning, after an early morning prayer, in hopes of finding a big sack of fish. 21 of the 45 boats brought a five fish limit to the scales at weigh-in.

 

Coming in 1st were David Carver and Cody Balz weighing in 5 fish for 18.15 lbs. The 2nd place team of Brodie Cox and Jeff Cox weighed in 5 fish for 13.53 lbs. Third place honors went to the team of Randy Gordon and Kevin Gordon with a 5 fish limit weighing 13.23 lbs.
