After the fish were weighed in, they were fileted and fried for all to enjoy along with other food donated.  It was a great turn out despite the horrible weather that was being predicted, with 34 teams entering the tournament. Prizes were awarded to the top 5 teams with the most weight of their top 5 bass, the top 2 big bass and the biggest trash fish.

Thanks for the overwhelming response of donors from the community, which are too numerous to name, who are greatly appreciated for their sponsorship and success of this event.  Because of their help, the teams had no entry fees for their participation in this event. All prizes were paid out with the donations that were received. Thanks also to the numerous parent and friends who showed up for the weigh in to cheer their teams on. This first annual fishing tournament was a huge success and we look forward to the next annual tournament to be hosted in Spring 2013!!
